Hey, Who supersized my emotions?
Do you feel like your emotions are out of wack? Not able to concentrate? I hear you.
Usually my day starts out with trying to get a list of what I need to accomplish. Too often I get interrupted. Don't allow myself to have quiet time. Just breathing some days is a task to accomplish!
Since starting WA, I have had to try to change my schedule. (Which there really wasn't much to change) This was to be sure that I could get my training in, do my homework and not neglect the others in my life.
You would think that this would not be that difficult. I have found the older I get the less time I seem to have. Then add in the emotions. Depression sets in. You cannot function.
Should I? Could I? Have I? are all the thoughts that enter my brain at 3 in the morning.( I have a tendency to over think what needs to be done.) What will happen if? all good questions but very disruptive. Depression sets in. You cannot function.
Through WA training and reading the comments, I see that I am not alone in this new adventure. I have days when it all seems to come together and I am flying high. The next day upset that I didn't get the reactions, the follows. Or likes I was hoping for. Back to the drawing table feeling defeated and discouraged.
The bright side to all of this is that when I am feeling like I am on a roller coaster all I have to do is read the profile of others, post and lessons to realize there is a light at the end of this tunnel.
My goal for this upcoming week is to read and follow more members, find information I need for my blogs and have fun getting it all accomplished.
Again, a big thanks to all who have put in the time to help us newbies with our emotions, answering our questions, and giving us encouragement.
Tomorrow is a new day. Fear is from not taking the chance to fail and move on.

Thanks for sharing your inner thoughts with us. I like your transparency and honesty, thank you.
Marge yes, Like you are doing yes it is hard some days and some days is like sunshine. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, You are in the right place. I hope you have a brilliant year, whatevers left of it and reach out if you have any problems
Okay, this is what you do, take a day or two and relax don't do any work and clear your head do something fun that you would enjoy doing. Here are some suggestions listen to music, read, or if you can take a drive that always seem to clear the head.
Stand back and take a breath and breathe this is not a race of any kind work at your own pace. That way you have fresh ideas to work with and also take notes so you have something to refer back too.
When you come back to work organize yourself put your self on a schedule to get training done and your homework done and then maybe work on your website too. And see if this helps you out. Keep me posted.
Hi Marge. I was feeling very similar to you recently. So...I took a few days off, just to rest my head and get my perspective back in line. I had been giving myself deadlines that I really shouldn't have. Anyway, stress started to build up. That brought on some depression. Maybe my body was just saying, hey, take care of me, too.
I said all of that to say, relax a little. Don't push yourself to the breaking point. What is success if you are too exhausted and stressed to enjoy it?
I wish you success...and happiness!!!
All the best,
Wendi

You are not alone in your feelings. I feel exactly the same way. Some days are better than others. I'm trying to go with the flow. Reading others' experiences is very validating. Thank you!

This used to happen to me quite often. I had plans to get so much done during a given day, and then time would fly by, and I would be so frustrated at the end because I never accomplished anywhere near what I had planned to. Then cancer entered my life, not once but twice. First was the diagnosis of my fathers terminal cancer, then a year later was my own with 3A Breast Cancer.
On what seemed like an accident, I happened upon a business mentor, and it was her guidance that made me change my ways. We all think that when we work for ourselves we must work more hours than we would when working a traditional job. But when we do this, we tend to forget about self-care, which is key to our happiness.
I now try to plan each day with what tasks I want to get done, and then when 5-6PM comes around, I turn off the PC and relax for the rest of the evening. That's not today I don't still have some bad days, I think we all do, but these changes have done wonders for me. I no longer beat myself up for what I didn't do, instead, I am happy with what I was able to accomplish.
Thanks. I so appreciate when people take the time to comment on my post. I am getting much better at using my time.LOL I sometimes forget that self-care is very important. Thanks again.
