I have several blogs in the making. None of them are ready for print as of yet. Is it writer’s blogger’s block? I am not sure and I am not going to worry about it. You see, ever since I decided to live The Flylady Way I have not allowed myself not to worry, or compare my accomplishments to others. Sure, I will go and look at other blogs and wish I could figure out how to do the design. Then I think babysteps. That is how I have gotten to this point and that is how I will get to where I need to go.
I spent so many years trying to catch up with this and with that. All it got me in the end was getting sick. There are many of you feeling overwhelmed and dealing with perfectionism. The other thing that stands out is the All or Nothing Approach. Many of us want to stay busy on moving our pile from one place to another and get discouraged. I remember pre Flylady days as I was trying to get organized for the the 50+ time, I found myself saying, “I will put this here for now.” As the day went on, I began to sing “I’m A Piler! I’m a Piler! Watch me pile it high! And I Hate It! And I Hate It!” The next thing I knew, the day was over and would feel frustrated. Tomorrow I will get really organized. Then I would repeat this kind of day ALL OVER AGAIN!!! Soon days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, and months turned into years. They say Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. What other result could their be except the same thing! All of us are so great at starting things. We have all the enthusiasm in the world. Then when things begin to get boring, enthusiasm is no where to be found.
