I Quit! I Quit! I Quit!
Yep that's what I was thinking over the past week! but I'm still here...thankfully.
I go through these phases as a result of my depressive moments, which by the way are way shorter than they used to be! As I sit in this place I now see how my thoughts can sabotage my potential for success.
I am smart, I am a hard worker, I am a willing student, I am determined, but when I begin feeling blue all these positive attributes which help me to succeed online get pushed under by the negative thoughts like...I am never going to make money at this, I don't have the time, I'm tired, my website isn't good enough, I'm not creative... blah, blah, blah.
Whoa! I mean even writing those negative phrases made me see the power they have over me and this is when I recognize I do have a choice, and I can allow the positive thoughts and attributes to float on the surface allowing the negative thoughts to wash away.
And lucky for me that is what I have done after contemplating quitting this past week. I have put in a lot of effort, time, money and most of all fun into building my business online, and besides it's new, so I have to nurture it as I learn and build my business.
So I stay on and keep taking this whole process one step at a time, because I do love learning, writing and building all in the name of my online business!
Welcome back Marianne!

Just remember Marianne it is good that you recognize those negative thoughts as next time they tried to take over. Stop, regroup even walk away from the computer do something else which will confused those thoughts. You have already achieve a lot.
Look at the amount of blogs done already. I have belief in your skills and am sure many other WA friends do to.
Read some inspirational blog, Look at other WA sites that relate not to a business opportunity but more peaceful and inspirational sites.
I know that one of our members Jennpgd has a wonderful site which i believe would help to overcome some of those thoughts on what to do.

Great to hear you are only human, lol. On the serious side it is awesome that you have realised, that it is your thinking that can make the difference in whether you succeed or fail. Don't forget the community is always here for you whenever you want.
Go forth and succeed.
It is completely normal. Stress, even GOOD stress can be daunting. Keep pluggin' away. You will reach your goals and be successful! You are on the right track and in the right place at the right time!
Hey glad your still here. I think everyone feels like this at some point. Yesterday I was ready to throw my computer out of the window with frustration which turned out to be something so simple. Sometimes we just need a little break from it

YES I CAN DO ANYTHING I CHOSE TO DO! I go through those same phases but it's a choice that I made that brought me there. Thanks for your post because sometimes you feel like you are the only one who is going through that.
Yeah mabry101 it's nice to know I'm not alone. I guess that's why I shared because I knew I would find the support to boost me back up.
