One of the things about Internet Marketing or even just working for yourself is that eventually you will feel overwhelmed. There is absolutely no "if" it's a guarantee.
Yesterday, I had arrived at overwhelm and beyond. I had even listened to what the mentors are telling me and made a simplified "to -do" list for the day. I had no more than TWO (2) items on my list. I wanted to feel good about myself at the end of the day. I wanted to check off that list of TWO things by the time I went to bed.
I am all about mindset. I get to my desk early after a rigorous early morning workout. I shut down Facebook within 15 minutes after checking there's nothing urgent for me to respond during the day. I check my other social medias and did the same. Nothing urgent. Now to my personal email and BAM.. my day just messed up. I got a message from a friend way over up there in Kazakhstan (yes way over there!) that I had sent him a suspicious message about Oprah and he was sure that wasn't me. So he let me know right away that he thinks the spammers are into my mailbox.
I checked it out and yes, some smarter than me creep had invaded my personal mailbox and was busy hitting up all my friends with "stupid emails". Of course my simple to do list was bumped over to the side to deal with this immediate forest fire. That took some time.
Having accomplished that with my IT and e-mail support (it took up a great deal of time) but for now it seemed safe.
I get a call from my teen daughter - who hadn't driven to school that day - to come pick her up because of blah blah blah... 'who freakin' cares, I say in my head' - but of course I don't articulate that. We agree a time I and stopped what I was doing to head out to get her. Now, really that would be simple right....only maybe 40 minutes max out of my time. If you lived in any other major city than Miami, public transportation would be available. No, not in Miami. Who even knows the number or bus routes here?
I get to her school on time, but on the way she - forgets to call me but - sends a TEXT to say she had to take an all important lab test she had missed and the teacher was allowing her to make it up TODAY ...YES TODAY..... I am driving so I don't see the text. I pull up in the school parking lot and then I saw it...... No words here!! Brain overload!!
I just give into the FLOW! I refuse to blow anymore gaskets.. I am OK I say. I calm my self down. I am thinking, 'today was not a good day to start my NO CARB day because right now at this moment only CARBS will do.
I gently back out of her prestigious school parking lot, pulled into the nearest Latin restaurant in the area. In fact, I was headed for a sushi but in this case 'Pollo Tropical" reared its Latin head. MAXIMUM CARBS there. I got me some FRIED Yucca's, shrimp and yellow rice.
I eat my fill and Yes, I said "let it go..let it go..." hearing the Disney Frozen theme in my head. Yes, there is always tomorrow and more carbs!
