Reflection on Day 1
Really it’s been a whopping 3 days since I gained clarity on what I want to do, how I want to do it, and committed to getting it done. Yesterday I shared what had happened and today I started sharing my journey writing a children’s book. People are already reaching out and that feels good.
After getting sick and cancelling all my travel – feeling the devastation from that – trying to heal but not doing a good job of it… and then there is the anxiety and the continued emotional abuse at home… etc. I am getting up and getting on with it.
Working with genAI has really opened a door for me. It let’s me ask as many questions as I want to, listens without judgement and, frankly, the positive feedback is probably partly healing the latter above. I feel more confident both with my work and also now with soliciting feedback from others.
What I found last summer – that elusive ability to focus on one thing at a time and work in silence is now somewhat of an addiction. At the same time, I have set up a PM system for myself that helps me not lose my place if I drift.
Question is, this is just day 3. With my track record I wonder if I will feeling like I am sliding on an endless rainbow or if I will fall off into the marsh below. People say this is your choice…
As I am reinforcing with a daily routine – my hope is if I stick to doing what I know works – it will keep working.
This was meant to be less personal and more a professional reflection but it is what it is. At least it is recorded. Time to powerdown.
