Have you ever wished for a magic button to start all over and keep the best but change the worst in your life and business? I am positive you have, I hadn't until just a few days ago. I suddenly woke up in a BiPolar funk and was really, and I mean really down on myself.

See I spent most of December sick from flu after flu bug. On my anniversary December 28th I dislocated my left shoulder and caused an AC injury. Stubborn about not tying up doctors on a simple ache and hoping it would go away in a couple weeks we ran into COVID-19 time and I put the trip off further to see the Dr. so they could attend to patients with the disease.

Finally I went to see the Orthopedic Surgeon about 3 weeks ago and got really great news. Despite being an idiot for 6 months the left shoulder has almost all healed and now I can start Physical Therapy. That started on the 19th.

PT, the gift that keeps on giving.

I did my Physical Therapy intake and initial workout and during it I kept gritting the few teeth I have and I guess it released toxins from one of the bad ones into my system causing a massive Absess that as of Yesterday morning had cut my vision to like half at best of its already poor state. I am here reading as I type without my glasses that are now useless with the page on zoom times 2, because I can't stay away from the keyboard any longer.

With all of this time away from working on my blog I have come to realize how much I miss it.

I have done a lot of things in my business as bad as ignoring my own health. The first is delaying until tomorrow what could be done today. I would let myself be late on deadlines, write only if I felt like it or was inspired, and generally I was my own worst employee ever. I sit here thinking I have sluffed off to play video games and read funny stories, got stuck in Virus news, spent too much time on live chat, and even should we say it slept up to 12 hour days.

I would fire me but I have no other employees and I can't find anyone to work for this much under minimum wage.

So how do I right the ship when my vision issues are sorted?

The first hurdle was finding out I could start raising arms to the position i needed to type for at least a few hours a day again. That shoulder really had me limited but now I can type as long as I can stand the ache without risk of further injury. That's a big load off my shoulders so to speak to be able to put a load on my shoulder again.


Righting the Writing business will be a big issue of rebooting my mindset.

For the last nearly 7 months I have only written a handfull of articles. I must get back to at least 2 a week. Get back onto my training. I have 8 weeks of webinars to catch up with and 2 months of Super Affiliate Challenge from this period of feeling sorry for myself.

I need to get back on my weekly Work Schedule ASAP:

Do at least some work every day, Be it images, videos, writing a piece to an article, or even just researching my butt off I need to be active even in illness and injury so I don't lose pace and go 6 months with only 2 post to show for it. Yes that freaking bad.

I must start eating right, praying daily, and training my brain while sharing what I learn with my readers. I can not stress enough that the 4 secrets of success in life, Strong, Mind, Strong Body, True Heart, and Faith work and I need to keep that focused on right now.

I will be 46 in just 2 more months and need to really be healthier than I was at 45.

I have 80 pounds more of post operation weight gain to lose. Was 75 before I started working

more on feeling bad and less on getting better. That will come off if it kills me over the next 12 months.

I will need to care better for my diabetes. My eye issues start there and that is likely why the tooth issues caused such a mess with vision. I don't ever want to be this blind again. It is freaking scary to think I may some day not be able to read at all.

I will get back on the real positives of repairing my Mental Health. I am always upbeat online and talk like I am happy all the time but Robin Williams, the Funniest Comedian of my lifetime was BiPolar like me and it cost him his life living behing that false shield of 100 percent positive outside energy. Folks BiPolar is not a joke, if you are depressed get help, we won't think bad of you and the numbers of us are in the hundreds of millions. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Well enough rant. I want to end this with an upbeat idea. Let's start pairing up again in groups of 2-5 and have accountability partners. We can help each other through tough times with verbal support and remind each other to write, read, write, and enjoy our blogs.

Great idea on accountability partners. Important to take care of health too, you need that to do all the other things.

Hi Andy.
I think all is good and yes we are not alone.
Thank you for sharing.

Nice.
Sent with regard and respect.

I feel your pain. Any pain is nothing to joke about that's for sure. I do not suffer with bi-polar, but I do deal with major depression and know how awful that can be.

My thoughts are with you and I hope that you continue to recover!

With 2020 Vision,

Thank you Karin. My eyes will not likely ever see 20/20 again but my business vision will be there going forward. I refuse to lose and have been losing ground. This is time to let the Art of War kick in and be agressive setting a new standard for my sites.

This life's journey is full of potholes and when you encounter one, you must learn to challenge it but if you're stuck and unsure what to do, there are others out there who may have a fair bit of knowledge and might give you a helping hand.

It's alright to zig and zag, pause, and juke, but sometimes getting to the goal line requires a stiff arm to your obstacle. Touchdown!

Yes, if you know what you want and how you want it, the touchdown will be sweeter.

Great Post! Thank you.
