Back in the saddle again…
Well, It has been about two weeks since I have really been on WA, reading blogs, working through my courses, keeping up with things in general, and unfortunately not much progress was made on my websites either. I can say it was a nice break, I was doing some traveling, attended a convention spent time with friends and family and was able to dive into one of my newer hobbies so I enjoyed myself and in the end there was some serious benefit!
So when I am on WA daily and checking in and well immersed in the community and the progress of my websites I get a bit of tunnel vision, almost like getting sucked into Facebook and losing track of time. I think most of us have done it, we intend to check a message or post something and three hours later we look up realizing that we are hungry, thirsty and have no idea what time it is, haha.
So I realized that taking some time away and not thinking about it has cleared my mind and given me some fresh perspectives on a few things, allowed me to get creative with new ideas and just overall revitalized me and I am so ready to dive back in at full steam. I have lots of great ideas I can't wait to implement from getting content filled in, drivning traffic, creating some buzz and just really taking off with actually making some money with this.
Now Im not advocating that everyone disappear for two weeks, but take a break, take a day off, clear your head and do something you enjoy off line. Go for a walk, take a nap in a park, go to a party, connect with friends or have a spa day. Do something you really enjoy away from the computer because we are all doing this so we can have a better life for ourselves, why not remind ourselves what that better life is all about!
Glad to be back!

That's great, you've taken the time to have a good break, and back with fresh ideas. We all need this.
Great advice! It's certainly a good idea to take some time and do something you enjoy away from the computer. I know what that's like...going to check something real quick, email or whatever, and 3 or more hours later...
Anyways, great reminder! Otherwise, things tend to get overwhelming, and well, frustrating! Thanks for sharing and best wishes :)
Welcome back, glad you enjoyed your time away. I will be taking my break in June, to celebrate my grand daughter's second birthday. I may stay two weeks, but I will still be part of WA.
time away is good for the production, will be heading away myself but can still work where I will be going, but it will have to be structured differently since I need to look after 3 grandchildren till there new brother comes along, this is why this is so good to be working on,, glad your back
Glad you're back and revitalized. I think everyone gets sucked in and loses track of time. Sometimes it's tough to step away from the computer.....
You're out about that, we need to give ourselves a break once in a while. I do that too, I get so obsorbed with everything, I forget about the other parts of life. Hopefully, our creative ability will come back in full steam after a break.
hi mate, good to see you again! seriously, we can all get a bit too serious about this, different strokes for different folks right?

Glad to see you back! I remember "following you" early on, in my W.A. experience. I took just one day off this week and it was so welcomed. I had a great day just swimming and hangin' out with with my grand-daughter. The love of my life. What a great time and, like you, it was good...a weird good...but good, to be away from the computer for a day. Well, I still read blogs and commented on things and did some light W.A. stuff. My rank, at least, didn't go down those couple of "light W.A. days". Now, here's the serious stuff. Like you, I've got so many great ideas I can't get to them all and I'm starting to get very frustrated by that. Also, you mentioned "driving traffic". I need some help and advise in this area, so I look forward to getting some help from you in this area!! Glad you are back!!
