The bumps in the road
It's so interesting how when I set my mind to working on this WA journey, everything else becomes more prominent. When I signed up for Premium, I was excited, determined and on fire to get after this thing. I had an action plan. I was after it, and my mind was made up. ...and then... there was something on the path ahead of me to slow me down. The sand on the road in the picture above is exactly what I'm talking about!
I went from cruising along to slamming on the brakes almost immediately! Life. Adventure. Best of intentions, and a cold? Really?! Who knew I'd get sick, and have no energy or desire to get off the couch let alone focus on training?! I'm sure a setback has NEVER happened to anyone here. ;D
Is it a set back or is it a lesson? My energy and vitality has returned... back to the land of the living and happy to be! Here's the biggest take away for me in this; I'm not beating myself up. That's HUGE for me!!! I'm not worried about wasting time, or falling behind. This is my pace. This is my race. It's just me and me here. One lesson at a time. Building skill upon skill and creating muscle memory.
So... I haven't completed all the lesson #1 tasks and earned my first reward as of this moment. I'm OK with that. I've gone from 50% to 80% complete in the last 2 days, and I'm really proud of myself. I'm that much closer. I'm really focusing on the fundamentals and staying completely engaged to fully understand what I'm doing and why I'm doing it.
Smooth is slow and fast is smooth. FOCUS.
What set backs have you experienced? How did you get back on track?
To the small steps. Cheers!

'Stuff Of Life' is a devil, Lizzy, but slow progress is still progress nevertheless!

I feel that way alot Lizzy. One day I'm full of energy focusing on the training and then before I know it there's always a distraction and it slows me down to a crawl. Just don't give up. I've come close but I haven't. It's just very frustrating sometimes especially when I don't see results. But the community is very helpful. People on here are very inspiring. Just keep pushing forward and everything will be o.k.
Just keep swimming.... just keep swimming... lol! Thanks! Level 1 complete!
