Winter Doldrums
I was reading a post from one of our members today about her being in a slump.
I have been in the same slump. No motivation and no progress forward. I've been feeling guilty about it but not doing anything to address the problem. I can't say that I can attribute my slump to anything in particular. Maybe just the winter doldrums. Who knows? I'm hoping that warmer weather will light a fire under my butt.
I do know that I have been having some trepidation going forward because the training coming up involves social media and I am a complete dinosaur when it comes to that. Or maybe that is just my excuse du jour.
Whatever it is, I need to get control of it and move on. I've been paying my dues every month but haven't been using the platform at all and that goes against my fiscal beliefs.
I think I might start setting some small goals for myself. Maybe daily, maybe weekly and see if that helps. All I know for sure is that I have to get out of this frame of mind and back into the enthusiasm that I had when I first signed up.

Hi welcome to WA and don't worry about the slump because it sounds that you overwhelmed a little bit. Just take it one day at a time and since you are in a slump you need to step back and take a deep.
Go do something fun or do something for yourself get away from the computer and maybe that will help. And then come back to the computer and start fresh because your brain had a chance to clear itself out and now you can think a little clear.
See if that helps but I wish the warmer weather would come to because I am tired of the cold myself so don't let this worry you too much.
Try what I said and see if that helps even a little. And if that doesn't work try meditation and some breathing exercises. that should help you out because that will relax you so you think clearer.
I hope that this will help you out. Keep me posted and we will think of something.

I get that a lot lately. The weather and the rain seem to get me down some. We all get in slumps like you are talking about. It rained most all weekend and when I was trying to get out to do some errands, I came down with a stomach virus. And tomorrow I've got to go back to my neurosurgeon who is a 4 1/2 hour drive away. Doesn't seem like I'm getting anything done. But we just have to wait it out and do as much as we can. Take care and it will be over soon.

Hi Nancy, I can totally relate to you. It March and hopefully spring will awaken the need to post and do what is necessary to grow here at WA. I wish you all the best
Nancy,
I feel your pain... BUT!!!
Try Pintrest as your first step. That's what I did, and it was AWESOME!
I was a dinosaur as well, and yet I have found Pintrest to be fairly easy in the end!

Hi Nancy. We know what you mean about social media. We always have to steel ourselves for that training but it is slowly coming together.
Spring is coming!

I would suggest setting daily simple goals involving the training and also other aspects of W.A. including spending time on your website. That's what I have been doing for the last few days. keep it basic and simple and stick to it. Hope you can find a way and also have a good break at least every couple of hours. Maybe 2 hours on and 2 hours off and see what results. Take care.
