Ball Watching.
So, who watches football, ok for my American friends on here, soccer? Quite often, when there was a goal resulting from a corner or free kick it would often be commented that the defending team or a player in particular was guilty of ball watching. Now I have to be honest when I first used to hear this I would wonder, that, yes are they not supposed to look at the ball? I soon came to understand, that quite often yes they would be looking at the ball at the expense of the player or zone they were supposed to be marking and in the end it was too late, the ball they were so watching was coming off the head of the person they should have been marking and heading into eh back of the net. Boom its a goal.
I found myself, of late doing just that, for some reason, over the last few days, I had become obsessed with the the ranking, was I going to go up, why did i not change, have i gone up, etc. I mean my head was full of it. It occurred to me yesterday while I was trying to figure out what I had just learnt in the the training about keywords from course 2 lesson 3 in affiliate boot camp when it randomly popped in my head that I should hurry up otherwise my ranking wouldn’t improve. Then i found myself having an argument with myself. ( yes I do that a lot) I think on this occasion I must have been arguing with my ego. I won, I am happy to report, and by that I mean i realised that for some reason, I had started to have a bit of a race against the rankings, which I should know is totally unnecessary. I knew that I was on this journey for my learning needs, to meet people and all other manner of positive things, and by racing in that way I was only serving to diminish that experience and probably interfering with my learning process. I needed to slow down and understand that actually its not a race and i can’t be chasing rankings over my own learning and progress.
So far, I have really enjoyed my time here at WA, I have learnt a lot, and yes I had to unlearn a lot too. So my focus is readjusted to the correct part of my progress and I am looking forward to moving forward at the correct pace.

Up and down. Heart and BP problems - we had hoped it would sort itself out when I had a pacemaker, but unfortunately not so back to another specialist.
oh, sorry to hear that Jude, hope it all works out soon, and that you get another appointment quickly.

I know exactly what you mean! I have settled down into a routine now of fitting in WA around everything else that I do, heck I even went a day without posting a WA Blog. Did the walls crumble? no, everything was fine. although I do like to go in the live chat, there are some very helpful people in there ;-)
