Take a DEEP breath and keep on Reading.
The power of a deep breath. It's a small action that relieves a lot of stress, but this small action has become a very powerful weapon, or more like a tool that keeps us all going. The particular stress I refer to is the brought on by the avalanche of information combined with feelings of assured success (usually in the mornings) and feelings of uncertainty (by days end).
There are so many offers, eBooks, landing pages, reviews, blogs, packages to buy, advisers from left and right and we still haven't even gone through the products as yet to determine which ones are best for commission earning power.
I genuinely believe that the Wealthy Affiliate program does cut through so much of the 'cobweb' that literally sticks and forces you to close your eyes while going through it, but when you aim high and push yourself for great results, you want to be tactical, precise and solid in your footing. Therefore you research.
In my research, I have read a lot. I have downloaded a lot. I have highlighted a lot. I have listened to youtube and podcasts a lot. I have read previews of eBooks on amazon and signed up free ones from squeeze pages a lot....you get the picture. And amazingly, I'm still unsure of where exactly to start and what the next steps are. So I take a deep breath.
Wonderful things happen when I take a deep breath. I don't reach for the Advil. My mind tells me to leave it all alone and go for a walk or just go to bed. I'm reminded that with all the dreams and aspirations and knowing for sure that I can do extremely well in affiliate marketing, I still only get ONE DAY AT A TIME. My mind reminds me all hard works bring a profit and that when I stick with this it's going to become automatic profits.
Everyday I learn something, and it comes at a price. I'm not buying ebooks and courses and all that-nooooo! But there is still a price to pay with time, energy and focus expended. Everyday you learn something also and it will also take a toll on some area of your life. You gotta keep on moving. Stay in there. When things get a bit rough, just take a deep breath.
See you at the finish line.

excellent post and so true. We have more information coming in than ever before and it gets overwhelming for the senses. I teach a mindfulness class and just spending a few moments to stop ... and breathe... it makes such a difference! thanks for this reminder :)
Thanks for your kind words. I'm also now trying to practice mindfulness and a bit of meditation. By just unplugging and letting the thoughts just come and move on is so wonderful and calming. I wish you every great thing life has to offer.
