What I learned from Bad Days!

Today is one of those days, when I just want to quit. I am handling too many things at the same time and it is getting overwhelming. One asks for help but it doesn’t always come in the way you are expecting it to. I still end up doing most of the heavy lifting. Then there is this heavy feeling inside of frustration and disappointment which keeps bringing you further down.

My heart tells me to take a break, not write anything for sometime. The trouble with breaks is that I lose all my momentum. One day break leads to two and within no time the discipline is disrupted. It is not easy to start building everything from scratch each time.

It’s easy to quit, what takes courage is to keep taking tiny steps forward even on days when nothing is going right. Moving forward, even with an extremely tiny and imperfect has far more impact than not moving at all.

I have created a process which keeps me on track. I need to trust it. It’s okay to slow down, as slow as I like but it’s not okay to break my promise to myself. I still kind to myself for my flaws but a nudge towards moving forward is a necessity.

Trust me in most cases all it takes is essentially putting that pen to the paper and letting the words flow. They may be without structure or purpose , just a stream of consciousness but it will still let you speak your heart out. Clear your head. Your frustration will mellow down and your confidence will rise. Hold on to that little hope. Go slow but don’t break the streak. Keep walking!
