Fallout and Recharge

I realize I'm only in my first week, but I've already come to the knowledge that I need to pace myself. I have a habit of plunging into something and giving it absolutely everything I've got, and burning out really fast. As I've been working through level 1 (and now level 2) of training, I'm realizing that I need to take my time. I want to get something worthwhile out of this, and the only way to do that is to take my time.
Last Friday, I got stuck. I ran up against my first obstacle. The "About Me" page. I was desperate to sound witty, interesting, and just generally fantastic. I spent so much time overthinking it and getting panicky that I started to wonder if I was making a big mistake doing WA. So, I wrote a blog post that sounded pretty panicky. And you know what? There were these lovely human beings that were super encouraging, and helped me relax.
I spent the weekend mostly avoiding WA. I read a really, really, really awful book. Watched my husband play Fallout 4 which led to me playing Fallout 4. I hung out with my mom.
Today, I jumped back into training. I got my "About Me" written. It's not great, but I'm not stressing about it, and I'm feeling pretty okay about that.
