Focus and re addressing fears
All you need is FOCUS and A DESIRE to HIT PUBLISH it becomes ADDICTIVE.
Easier said than done as cliched as it may sound, but over the past few days i feel a new lease on this dimension.
Bulk researching and re watching Kyle’s videos have given me a re aligned view to approach my obstacles: laziness or confusion? Or both ?
The result of that is procrastination and it can weigh us down heavily. So if i need to pinch myself, which is often I need to re educate myself like as if i was eternally a new member.
I feel better because of the plan of action, Kyle mentions in month 2 SWAG video, and that is the one that I watch until I am efficient in content writing.
Sometimes or most of the times, there are so many directions to wander in or follow it can perplex our purpose. Maybe the best remedy is to pause and do all keyword research at once, then import them to site content or in my case, to google docs.
Copy a template from site content and paste key words of a list in chunks of that template. So the ideal set up would be for similarly related topics to be within each subset, as it is arranged on site content.
Listen to music, EAT WELL, Nap in the afternoon no prob, if you are at office talk to colleagues about inspirational creative topics, even if they are unrelated to your niche. The creativity will reinforce passion to re attempt and refresh you .
Yes as adults we need that booster quite often. Gone are the days of running in the fields and feeling like energy was endless. It’s not its based on our environment today and how we respond to that or what we do to circumvent our fears, physical and or mental obstacles.
Why do i write about being refreshed so often? Perhaps I feel the same and to be on top of our game and do our sincere best, the only way is to look deep and identify all the issues so that our energy will not be spent pondering about that. So that we can get to the task and understand that writing requires structure.
I’m intuitive but very laid back too almost bohemian and I think structure just stresses me out. So contradictory! But there are certain aspects of life such as giving it our best shot, where I think i dispel that cloak of laid-blackness and get my focus to work for me.
Another reinforcement is the times in Dental college, where I was so eager to please my lecturerers and get their standing ovations in my oral pathology and microbiology or prosthodontics seminars, that I forgot those days now ?
I have to remind myself if I was so eager for external validation, cant I work for myself to see it come to fruitition? Why is there a disconnect between pleasing others and not doing things for myself ?
That’s where as humans we seek acceptance and validation from others. We don’t validate and re affirm ourselves at all and in some cases so infrequently,it can be forgotten.
What I’m trying to say is , when you need to get your game on , give it. Your A+++++ game or not at all.
‘Tis is a personal reinforcement, but if you relate to it then we are all pretty connected :)
If I don’t make sense or see random that’s because I am :))) I’m a Gemini so I’m bound to be in a trillion different mindsets fleeting with thoughts by the minute. Long enough to give it validation and act on it.
so my promise without rambling on is its okay to be a tortoise but do so steadily and with quality as an objective.

Hi Shweta, as usual, your post was of 1000 mg! Many points were above my level of thinking, but what I understood is the nature of Geminis, a little bit of course :) I would like to add that to learn on how to love and respect yourself is such a great thing that only we humans can do it. I take it the other way - I find myself a unique SOUL, a unique DNA, a unique fingerprint and a unique human. I can not let others make me let own unless I myself willing. Hence to accept and respect yourself as we are, is the unique feature of each of us. Hope It makes a sense. Thanks for the Great Post. Would love to see at least 03 images in each post.
Thankyou Gaurav yes I resonate with you completely and oops I keep forgetting the images on wA posts . I guess it’s just I get carried away Lots:) that’s another gem my trait.
I do usually accept myself but the thing is appeal. At times they can be on the same plane and other times tangentially.
I think the idea of posting here is reinforcing the motive to be consistent in writing.
It has that effect on very fleeting people like myself. A lot of members sit working hard, including yourself until the wee hours of the morning.
I worked ultra hard in dental school but it earnt me nothing but constantly going up the ladder with defeats waiting.
Thankfully I have never relied on that field for my life I’m otherwise blessed even without it infact more blessed without it:)
Lots of stuff in there, wonderful!
I would only ever say it is about you! Looking for the acceptance and validation of others is futile. Looking for these things is a wasted life.
Find your place and work from the inside and not from the external pleasure, external pleasure will not bring you inner Joy!
There is a difference between the two!
Wayne
Thankyou Wayne. It has indeed been an internal challenge yet a transformational view for me.
There were many times over the past years where people close to me mocked me for being ‘naive’. I knew instantly that it hurt me but I kept quiet. Instead of telling myself good things, I found ways to re do something else to please them all again. Nope they didn’t value me much and instead I was stuck in what I think, was a developmental bubble.
I couldn’t understand why or what was wrong.
Perhaps the approach of not pleasing anyone, but being held self accountable was the other side of the mysterious coin of self awareness. The flip switch between my constant need to please and maturity that is self acceptance and responsibility.
It took me so long and yet I need to re learn what I never did . That’s the great thing about WA. I feel better here honestly:)
Hi Shweta
It sounds like you are in a much more peaceful and a more relaxed state which is really nice to hear.
It’s when you become complete and content with yourself, you become an inspiration to others and a strength to those around you.
Isn’t strange that so many feel better being here on WA. We are all experiencing wonderful things being said!
Wonderfully written post, if I didn’t say before!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Wayne
I definitely feel better on WA . There are so many productive tasks to be done . It keeps me inspired to keep up with it too :)
Thankyou Wayne wish you the best always, and you too enjoy your weekend:)
So true that we don't 'validate and re affirm ourselves at all' and yet we are happy to do it for others. Perhaps a bit of self love is required. I have to continually remind myself to do it. In fact I have a question printed and stuck to my wall that reads, "Have you given yourself approval today?"
~Mark
That’s something I’ll check out too. We need to constantly be watching over ourselves, it’s like being 2 people within lol :) well anything that gets us sailing ahead .
Besides Mark you are so diligent and hard working in everything you attempt.
As well you are active in so many different tasks within SWAG, that itself speaks to your affirmations so effectively:)
Although I felt that I was always looking to please my lecturers, somehow today I find it a up hill task for myself. Maybe I’ll read through your post it’s funny that we all are slightly similar by nature.
Writing does bring about a more extrovertedness and honest confessions even with respect to quiet people like myself.
It brings about in us a honesty that’s probably the inertia to proceed . That I feel is the biggest motivation when we give ourselves the challenges.
With respect
Shweta
Thanks for your kind words Shweta. I try my best but there is always so much more I want to do and don't get done but I am sure this is true for all of us. :)
~Mark
It’s definitely a endless ocean of to be done and how to get it done creatively and easily too :)
I’m going to dedicate one article to augmented reality and another to artificial intelligence.
Although I can see a merger there .
You have certainly achieved and experienced many careers and that’s what broadens your horizons and relatability to your audience.
So much I need to bring forth to make impact on my audience. The most time consuming? Layout.
Do you know how to reduce the logo size?
I made mine on logo joy a while ago but was unable to re size it . I’ll search on WA also :)
Slow and steady wins the race. Of course, it;s always better to burn out than fade away. How is that for "different mindsets fleeting with thoughts by the minute"?
You are giving it your A++++++ game. Good work.
Keep it up.
Steve
Fading away is long term absence but burning out can result in that :)
Thanks Steven but yet your view is much appreciated because you took time to reply despite your busy schedule:)
