A shameless attempt to garner encouragement and pleasant thoughts...

[arthur_p_dent]

The past few weeks have been fairly ok. For the most part work has been stable, and I've been able to meet every deadline. Plus, with decent spring weather I've gotten a good jump on completing my landscaping projects that I started in the fall.

However...

1) In the weeks since the heavy stress load at the beginning of the month, I can't seem to motivate myself to get back to my goals list.

2) Starting tomorrow I have another stretch of long hours / high stress / tight deadlines, for 4-5 days straight.

So yes - I'm outright asking for words of encouragement and other nice things. I need to get through the next several days, and I need to get back into a good routine, and I'm going to need help to do it.

-hugs- if you want them. I'm sorry everything is so stressful right now, and I know finding motivation for goals can be hard during stress. If you want to post about getting back into the groove with your goals, I'm here to cheer you on.

If I want them?? If I ever turn down a hug call a medical professional, because something is very wrong with me. XD

*hugs back*

I'm targeting June 1 for a "re-boot" of my goals, as well as the launch of a new project. Stay tuned!! =]

Two more weeks.
Two more weeks.

*lots of hugs*

Stress sucks the energy right out of us and makes motivation hard or even impossible to come by-- but you've got this! You're going to conquer this latest stretch and you're going to retake the reins on your goals. Sometimes, all it takes is a "reset" to get things going again. Let yourself off the hook for any personal deadlines you've missed, then take a good look at where you are now and decide how you want to move forward.

I believe in you! :D

I learned my lesson earlier in the year to not dwell on the setbacks, but to focus instead on starting fresh. June 1 is the re-boot, and a new project kick-off as well. Look for a post on Wednesday!

And thanks. *big hugs*
