It’s nearly impossible for me to find a second to sit down and right lately.
I’m smack dab in the middle of this huge project (for those of you who haven’t check out Moon River Music Festival you should) and it’s taking up all my spare time and energy.
I will be back, I promise. Give me two weeks tops. Until then, I’ll at least try to post funny pictures or reblog some relevant posts.
You guys are great. Here’s a fancy cat.
This is one of everyone’s biggest fears, whether you realize it or not. Whether it be not meeting deadlines or falling behind one of your coworkers. no one wants to be in last place.
The reason I started thinking about this was because clearly I’ve fallen behind on my “one post a week” goal. Not only is this disappointing to me, as I’m letting myself down, but I’m sure it’s also disappointing to you, my readers. Here’s the deal: life gets busy. There is always going to be something else that steals your attention; something that you put ahead of your self-implemented goals, because when someone else is depending on you, it’s a lot easier to let yourself be the one to get let down. Nut goodness, don’t let that get you down. You may feel like you’re “falling behind” but that could also be because you set unrealistic goals for yourself. I do that on a regular basis. I mean, come on, weekly posts on a college student’s schedule? Not impossible, but not the easiest thing either. So here’s a goal for myself that I hope helps you out too: set challenging goals for yourself, but don’t let it disappoint you if….no, when they don’t always go as planned.
You can’t be afraid to challenge yourself, just because you fear the possibility of maybe falling behind someone else, or even something that you hoped to do. The thing is, that person you’re “competing” with could be sacrificing something else in their life to get ahead in this one thing. I know, all you perfectionists out there are having major anxiety reading this.But here’s my challenge to you: don’t beat yourself up if not every single thing goes as planned or if you happen to fall behind, in either a deadline or just generally aren’t as “ahead” of a coworker as you’d hoped. Things will all work out the way they’re supposed to.
Just face this fear within yourself because it’s never worth it to beat yourself up. Ever.
So don’t.
Simple as that 🙂
