It’s been a while. I know. Life happens even for me. I hit a wall and stopped. I took a huge step to work towards a life goal and when things begin to get grey and fuzzy and…out of my control. I stopped.

I stopped everything. In the midst of things I did receive some other blessings for which I am grateful but that never negated the wall I hit. It hurt. I caused me to question what the hell I was attempting to do and be. Mostly it sent me on social media spiraling into all the things that I’ve suggested that we shouldn’t do.

Comparing.

yep I did it.  Worse thing that a person can do when they aren’t feeling sure about who they are or what they are doing is go and compare themselves to someone else.  LOL but I did it anyway.  Stopped me dead in my tracks.

well not totally. I grew in other areas. It’s like stubbing your toe and it hurts like hell then someone squeezes your earlobe…your attention shifts to your ear. Toe still hurts but now i’m focused on this ear.  That’s what happened. I begn to look at other areas of my life. Call it…distraction. It worked.

I felt and found some accomplishments in other areas of my life that took the edge off the pain from the figurative wall I’d hit.  The pain is still there from the wall but not as prominent.  So why am I sharing all this?

Because I’m human and hopefully you are as well.  With that agreement, we may be going along great and smoothly in life and feel like we can take on a huge tasks and fall flat on our ass.  While we are down there (once we stop crying and ranting) take a moment to look around and i’m sure you will find other things you need to tie up and nurture.  These things may not be as huge but they are significant enough that once completed…we feel better about who we see in the mirror.

Some may call it gratitude for what we have once we really notice what we have others will call it shifting perspectives/attention/focus and still some will say it’s just taking a step back to regroup. Whatever it is…pace yourself and be gentle with yourself but don’t give up.

We aren’t quite to half time…then we can really decide which way we want to go with our plans and goals.

Until then…keep breaking habits until you become more and more of who you desire to be.
