Hi, it’s me Mynde. I am compelled to write in this moment. I was sort of taken away in the possibility of writing a blog post right when I noticed I wanted to procrastinate on Twitter. You see my to-do list is quite undone and growing more unruly by the hour.
Ever been really frustrated with Technology?
Well that’s me. The last last few… um… weeks or so, it’s been me versus Blogger Custom Domains. I guess I need a place to vent, feel safe and be human and say “Grrrrrrrrrrr Technology! It’s sucks not to get it!!! Not to be able to figure it out. To feel stuck, stupid and stumped and just done with it. Ugh!”
Plus, isn’t blogging about sharing more of who we are? I think it is. It’s a risk to write anything. A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G! So I bring my actual life experience, in this case around technology, to the topic of this post.
I have been wrestling for far too long now with resolving a technical issue around using custom domains with a blogspot. I have researched on Google and read so many great articles (recently a series at Blogger Buster called “A Better Way To Set Up Your Custom Domain” to help teach myself and solve this issue. Even more frustrating is that I have successfully gotten this to work several times, with minimal steps and mostly ease. Seriously, not an issue. Until now.
I’m wrestling around, determined, burning up precious brain cells in the relentless compulsion to “fix/figure it out” (aha! I see you fear.)
Okay. Deep breathe. Time out. Focus check.
I know when I feel overwhelmed, breaking it down into small steps is really supportive. One little yes at a time. Yes, a client’s email issues appear to be resolved. Yes, a new client engagement is unfolding. Where I put my focus is a choice. Putting my focus on what’s well and good in my world is a perfect remedy for overwhelm and frustration. Right now, I’m putting my focus on what’s not working and then my body is informing me there is another option (indicated by uncomfortable feelings like anxiety, worry, procrastination… )
Did i just say that?
Writing a blog post is NOT procrastination. It is a definite Yes and not little at all!
What is working well in my life?
The ultimate reframing question that works instantly! Just add focus.
Today I am grateful that I can write, anything.
Today I am grateful that I have eyes that can read and a brain that can process “stuff” and figure things out.
Today I am grateful for Your Web Coaches and possibility that looks like hubs – the answer to my always present question of where will I blog today?
Today I am grateful for Paypal (smiles).
Today I am grateful for my technology burnout that turned out to be a blogpost for you and me.
Before I succumb to my to-do’s
If I can see what is good then how can I also focus on how I want to feel about this current challenge?
- Am I willing to see my imminent success right around the corner?
- Am I willing to see my all my clients and myself happy and having fun with technology?
- Am I willing to be happy and have fun no matter what?
One little Yes at a time.
