This week has been tough. Nothing catastrophic happened, but the accumulation of one thing after another not working. And that kind of week messes with you more than it should.
I felt very demotivated, disappointed, and sad. I felt like giving up. I’m lucky that I have such a supportive partner. His words helped. And so did a walk in the sunshine, some candy from the corner store, and breathing.
A lot of breathing.
Wasn’t I always telling people that the work isn’t easy. And here is one of those weeks that’s tough. It’s easier said than done, but pushing through this and focusing on moving forward helps. I don’t actually need a perfect week. I just need to not let a bad one convince me that I can’t do it, or I’m not the one.
It’s good for me to remember the wins I had this week. Maybe even thank people that made me smile. There were a few of those.
And mostly, there must be something I can do myself to change things. Whether it’s my approach, how I show up, maybe I’m over complicating things… I’m not helpless.
Those days will come and go. I allow myself to have them, and then push myself to get out of the wallowing. Learn, reset and try again with a bit more clarity.
Building something means you don’t get clean wins every week. Some weeks are just about not losing your footing.
