Let's Get Real!

Hello my WA family, how are we all? :)

So, I am now a 4month old WA member and have certainly had my ups and downs.

After completing my Level 1 training (one month in), I was on a complete high and had loads of WA energy to burn!

Half way through my Level 2 training (2 months in), and 1 post deep however, I found the demands of WA getting real. I felt the demands of my dreams pushing me quite hard.

During my 2nd post I plateaued. I was stuck on it for weeks, I just could not get my creative juices flowing. Eventually I moved myself to a "this is too demanding" mindset. As such, I went offline for 2-3 weeks.

I then had a wake-up call experience at work which forced me back to my WA WHY (which I talk about in more detail here).

And so, I re-examined my routine (3 months in), realised that my 2 BIGGEST let downs were TIME and DISTRACTIONS, and just got real with myself. I did this by jumping back online, writing a blog on 'Getting Nowhere Fast Ends Today, and setting some serious productivity goals.

In doing so, I received some wonderful advice from my WA buddies (you!), and made a goal to dedicate 1 hour per day to my WA tasks.

Disclaimer: This method has turned my creative juices ON. Therefore, sometimes my well intended 1 hour time-frame will turn into 2-3 hours without me even realising. However, my husband and children will remind me when it is time to take a break which I find very useful! What a turn of events!

HOWEVER!! My outcome has been productivity nonetheless :)

So, now I find myself at the 4-month mark and near the end of my Level 2 training! My focus now is my Ambassador ranking which I hope to acheive in the next 2-3 days.

My best take aways have been the completion of 2 extra posts (a total of 4), Kyle's article on the HOW of productivity, and the nostalgia gained in relation to a 5000 word Literature Review I wrote on Mindfulness some years back (Kyle makes reference to these fundamentals often).

I also take away the reminder that:

"YOUR DREAMS DON'T WORK UNLESS YOU DO....."

In the next 3-6 months I will focus on all the next steps in this WA journey, I hope to make some real traction with my website and content, and look forward to starting some genuine and meaningful friendships (and/or business pursuits) with y'all.

Lots of love,

Gina
