This blog is my first post for several weeks. I have been laid up with a broken shoulder and torn rotator cuff, which made it extremely difficult to use my computer. I am finally at a point in my recovery where I don’t have to type with one finger! Boy, is that uncomfortable! I had to give in and put work aside for a bit.
I know I have talked about making time for yourself and that it is okay to put yourself first occasionally. Now, I will remind you that no matter how big a go-getter you are, you must acknowledge that you are not invincible.
We are all fragile humans that can be sidelined physically; no one is immune. It is something we all have to accept. It is hard, I know; I struggled with it. I tried to find ways around the difficulties I was having. I planned to dictate my posts and run them through AI for clean-up. I discovered that I had nothing to say. Those of you who know me personally will find that hilarious. Something in my psyche refused to play ball. I finally figured out what. It was my inner self telling me to take a timeout to heal. Sometimes, you must admit that you cannot do something no matter how much you want to, and I did. I felt guilty about letting my business slide; it dawned on me that I am the business. Without me, it does not exist. I felt better mentally once I accepted that I just needed to take a break. I worked with my current clients, but that was it; I used the rest of the time for convalescing.
I just started physical therapy yesterday and plan to be back to my old self within several months. It isn’t easy, but I plan on soldiering through until I regain full mobility. I plan to put out one post per week, but you might see me commenting more on others’ posts.
Remember to be kind to yourself and never lose hope. Not even in the face of great diversity. Always stay resolved.
