I almost cancel my membership
I've beeing feeling overwhelmed these days. So many things have had happen in my life in such a short period of time. On August 23rd, my second brother had passed away at the age of 38, he was getting 39 now on September 19th. But not just that. The same day my brother dies, my newborn child has come to the world. So it has been a bittersweet emotion since then.
I took vacations from my day job to be full time with my wife and help her attend our baby. But between the death of my brother (that was a complicated process because he had died in another country) and all process involved, I haven't had the chance yet to take advantage of my vacations and they're just remaining one week.
So, as I had to many days that haven't make a progress in my website, and that I had only posted 3 posts (in almost 3 months) I feel like I'm not seizing the benefits from the paid membership, so today I went on to cancel it.
But just after reading all that Kyle says to convince me to stay and right after almost hitting the red cancel button, I said to myself "WAIT!! Give it another chance".
I think I have what it's called "The impostor Syndrome" where all the things that I do I think they are not good enough to be posted or to be seen by the world and I step back from doing it.
I know that maybe I could control it, but this thing acts like a ninja, silently and you think you are doing the right thing.
I don't even post regularly on my Instagram Graphic Desing account, I tend to do the same thing.
So, How you guys manage to overcome this projects killing syndrome and make your self keep posting every time?
Thanks all!!.

I have a husband that thinks my entire attention should be on him. I am constantly harassed about having the computer in front of me and I am either reading a blog or writing one.
The way I overcome this is I treat it like it is my job. When I was working away from home I have no idea what he was doing. I was busy. So now I shut him off and work.
Of course there are time that he needs attention but to be home and semi retired with him, I would probably be all up in arms if I didn't have something to do.
Writing is a release. You write about what you know and sell what you are comfortable with. Emotions are funny things, If you are writing about them then you are actually looking inside yourself and that's when the healing starts.
Wow. Pretty powerful stuff going on for you right now. I'm so glad to hear you are staying with WA. :) I'm so sorry about your brother. My brother had passed away at the same age, over 20 years ago. It's rough.
But guess what, you just showed how much there is inside you to write. You are good at it. You have a lot to share. So share it. :)
If you need some confidence, just come on here and ask for some backup. We will help you out with that.
I started my website and this program right after my mom died. The week after. I am working on it for her.
Maybe you can do that for your brother.. :)

Condolences on the loss of your brother, losing a loved one at such a young age it devastating (I'm speaking from experience), losing a loved one at any age is devastating.
I never thought I'd be writing condolences and congratulations in the same post, but congratulations on your new baby.
I can only imagine the ball of emotions you must have been over this past month.
I'm glad you decided to stick it out, I'm not sure what your niche is, but what you've experienced over the past month could be incorporated into your writing, it might even be a little therapeutic :)
II joined a couple months before you did, thought about throwing in the towel with a full time job, managing family responsibilities and so forth, but stuck it out and I'm glad I did.
I've convinced myself, it's not a race, things are going to come up, our lives are going to get complicated from time to time and we will progress at our own speed.
I wish you success on your business venture.
Take Care

Sorry for your Loss my friend. I know just how difficult it is to lose loved ones. I have lost a few in this past year. I find that WA helps you through the worst part. It keeps you busy. You will never forget, but life will become more manageable.
Congrations on the birth of your child.
All the best. Jim

I don't know if anyone that has broken the internet, although a few of us have given it a good go,lol.
The best thing we can do is to get things out there, The more we do the better we get.
It can be overwhelming, it is modern living, life can be challenging.
The best way to go is to live and do. Does Imposter Syndrome Hold You Back From Your Dreams
