JOT Day 47, 48 - Climbing back up the emotional scale

Every once in awhile, I plunge back down for a reorientation with the depths of the emotional scale, down in the bowels of negative emotions that I know do not serve me or anyone else, but in the heat of the moment, they just are.

The thing is, once you've stabilized your spot in the upper registers, this reorientation thing doesn't take much to feel like the world as you know it has collapsed--even just a little bit of contrast in an arena that you aren't used to anymore does that. 

So I vented and fumed for awhile, reached out and spoke to someone who talked me down from the dizzying heights of irrationality, and eventually I felt much better.

Even that small amount of time and energy spent in that space was exhausting though. And counterproductive. I know better. But the experience was great for shoring up boundaries and resolve in many areas, so for that I can appreciate what happened.

Today I am checking out another spot for my Meetup group to meet in, and I took the first step in making an appointment as a new patient with a new health care provider. The Right-Brained Biz Plan book arrived in the mail and I've started reading the exercises that will start using the clippings I've got from magazines.

Feeling like I'm on track and moving in the right direction.

JOT Day 45, 46 - On the move On the road again but still made time to JOT. Yesterday I got real clarity around articulating my value proposition, or what it is that I do for people. Today I found an authentic affiliate link that will feel great on the new website, which I read another chunk about in the manuel on writing pages. Good stuff, Maynard.

JOT Day 49 - Time suck ephemora We all know participating in social media can be a time suck. Surfing online articles is another. It's so perfectly and eloquently justified, but it's a time suck. None of us needs another article to validate what we're doing. We only need our own permission for that. It can't come from someone outside of ourselves because permission never stands still outside of ourselves. It's always changing, depending on someone else's whim. The permission we give ourselves is what counts, because deep down we know what we want to do and how to do it. We're just waiting for permission. Go ahead and give it to yourself. Save yourself weeks, months, years of delay in doing what would make you feel (and possibly earn) a million bucks. Today I consciously chose not to pick up another text of any kind until I'm finished with what I've already decided is on my path. No distractions, not now. There will be times when I need a break and a distraction will be welcome and useful. Just not now.
