Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
Welcome All! Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes are occurring.
On February 15, I launched the 30 Days of Encouragement Series. At the time, I had decided to publish a new post twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Due to changes in my schedule, bi-weekly publishing has become difficult. Therefore, posts will be published once a week, rather than twice, on Tuesdays beginning this coming week.
I Give Myself Very Good Advice, But Seldom Do I Take It
A couple of weeks ago, I published a post on showing up and how doing so is about consistency and being open to tweaking systems that are not working. I have felt mushy depressed and down on myself for weeks now because I knew the schedule I had started out with was no longer a system working for me. Yet, I felt I was (once again) failing in being consistent by acknowledging that. The guilt has been horrible. Today, it finally dawned on me that I am not serving anyone, including myself, by not being honest about it or allowing my ego to run the show.
I looked at it objectively, i.e., removed my feelings from it all, and concluded that I am not “failing” at being consistent by backing down to a once-a-week posting. I am still committed to this path and posting weekly; I am still pursuing the life I dream of; I am merely altering a no longer working system. Who’s to say it will always be this way? For this moment, though, changes are necessary.
Down the Rabbit Hole
Confession: I tend to be highly idealistic in thinking about how a process will unfold while ignoring its practical applications. I am attempting to learn various new things in sectors that are utterly unfamiliar to me. The further down the rabbit hole I go, the more I realize how I manage my time is vital. I really want to build a solid foundation. I cannot devote myself to building that through learning if I spread myself too thin here in the beginning…or ever.
Even as I type this, knowing this system adjustment is necessary, the nagging voices of the mind monsters are kicking up. I am walking out what I have been writing about though and resisting. Daily. To all people out there embarking on paths unknown to pursue the life they want, you are doing great, you fabulous courageous beast! Let that be your encouragement for today.
Until Next Time,
Rah
