Good Afternoon, from New Zealand, Friends and Colleagues.

I have been watching people beat themselves up a wee bit recently, on chat and in the WA Blog, so I wondered if it might be valuable to remind ourselves, that we can actually afford to cut ourselves some slack from time to time.

These 5 things might help to put this into perspective. If it helps just one reader then it has been a worthwhile time investment.............

Don't Judge Your Efforts Against Others

The only person that you need to satisfy in your WA based business is you.
What others achieve, while interesting, is no measure of your own achievement. We are all different, with different abilities and different skills.
We all grow and develop at different speeds and this absolutely is ok!

Set Realistic Expectations

While stretch goals are good, be realistic about your capability and your capacity. if you set a goal which you know at outset is up achievable then you are at risk of harming yourself psychologically.

Not reaching a goal is ok because you can adjust and move on but having set one you will have achieved somewhere along the line.

The reason for goals is to focus your actions, more than it is to achieve the target, which is great if you do, but far from the end of the world if you don't

Celebrate Your Sucesses

It is inherent in all of us, it is an inconvenient quirk of human nature, that we dwell on things that could, or do, go wrong.


What we tend to be less good at, is celebrating our successes, however small. Celebration of these wee achievements and victories charges our motivational batteries.

It is no accident that at the end of these Blogs on tagging we are given an opportunity to tag as a success at WA post.

Take the time to have a moment of celebration when you do hit targets achieve a milestone or are successful in helping someone else to achieve

I always like to think that "a rising tide raises all ships"

It's all OK!

Whatever happens here is recoverable, no one will be harmed because you make a mistake in a post or with a theme configuration or in the installation of a plugin.




There is a body of thought that the more mistakes you make the more you will learn. Perhaps from here onward you can try to think of those things you have previously though of as failures or mistakes as learning opportunities (as long as you do learn from them)

Look After Yourself

You know what in the final analysis there is nothing here that is more important than you. Without a healthy, in body and mind, you then all of this is a pointless exercise.

make sure that you take time to eat properly, rest properly, exercise properly and above all spend time with your family particularly if you have ankle snappers at home, they grow up fast and the most precious thing you can give them when they are young is your time.

You Guys Have Got This

Yup here you have a great opportunity great facilities, great tools, great training, great support and a wonderful community but above all you have got the most precious thing which is you, oh and ............YOU GOT THIS!

...and with that I bid you good afternoon, from New Zealand friends and colleagues.

Good post Hamish.

This morning the "Look After Yourself" point gave me a smile.

It rained for much of the day yesterday so I put my head down at the computer and worked on a post for my new site.
Late afternoon the sun came out so I decided I needed some fresh air and exercise and made my way out to the garden only to slip on the decking and land hard on my left shoulder. No damage thankfully just a little sore and stiff this morning.

So today, I shall be looking after myself a little more than usual.

Cheers,

Andy.

Good for you Andy can’t be too careful. Buddy🧐

Since you live in New Zealand you may find this amusing. It's probably true since I read it in the local newspaper before fake news was invented

A man wanted to fly from LA to Oakland, California, a very short fight. When he heard the announcement that his flight was boarding he got on the plane.

After an hour or so he noticed that the plane was out over the ocean with no land in sight. He asked the flight attendant how long before the plane landed. She told him about 17 hours.

Seems he had heard the announcement wrong. Instead of going to Oakland the flight was bound for Auckland.

LoL love it Neil good gate control🧐

Great thoughts! It can be easy to compare our progress to others, but we are all on our own journeys. Things will happen as they need to, when it's our time to "shine."

I love that we can celebrate with others in WA!

Thank you for the extra motivation!

Heidi

Always a a pleasure Heidi yup small wins are worth celebrating because they are all steps forward but even finding out that something does not work is a step forward 🧐

That is so true! Trial and error helps us weed out what isn't working and continue on with what is:)

I have always thought that failure was a much under rated learning technique LoL🧐

Lovely message and thank you Hamish.

Thanks Melanie and how are you today still making progress I hope?🧐

Thank you Hamish for this great post. Stay safe and be healthy at your beautiful country, New Zealand.
Regards.
