So You Didn’t Get To Do What You Wanted This Weekend.
I had big plans this weekend to work on the website for my business and go out and get some other things done, but did any of that happen? Nope. I was home hoping my head didn’t explode because I wasn’t feeling well. All day Saturday I lay on the couch drinking tea, eating soup, and blowing my nose. I wasn’t able to focus and I felt so unproductive. Set backs are a part of life, but you have to learn not to take them too personally. Just get up and keep moving forward. So you didn’t get to do what you wanted this weekend. It shouldn’t take away from you achieving your goal.
Always See the Bigger Picture
Whether you’re trying to launch a blog, start an IT Consulting company, or write a book (i’m doing all the above). Each one of those things have individual components that make up the whole. It’s not frustrating that I didn’t get to do one of the components, it’s frustrating that I can see the bigger picture and my lack of inactivity didn’t help to getting closer to it. On the flip side of that, knowing the bigger picture is what will keep you motivated to keep going and pursuing your goal.
Know Your Limits
Could I have pushed myself to work despite the running and stuffed nose, despite the muscle aches and headache. Probably, but I don’t think I would have been as productive as I could have been. Then again, I’m always reminded that if Jordan was able to play a game with flu like symptoms, I should be able to sit here and work on a website. Now thinking about it, it actually feels like I’m just making excuses for myself.
Don’t Beat Yourself Up
Even if I really could have worked although I was not feeling well. I can’t beat myself up over it. I just have to continue to focus on the big picture, recognize my limits, and keep moving forward.
How many of you didn’t get to do what you wanted this weekend? Or this week?
