When Your Progress Stalls

I hit a wall this week. A series of obstacles just started adding up; beginning as small things, multiplying, piling up, shoving me down, making me doubt everything I'd been pushing forward through the last seven months.

  
It's just little things, nothing I couldn't have worked through individually, but I let the combination of difficulties get to me, and that was my first mistake. Once your confidence is rocked, you start doubting yourself, your path, the effort you've been making, and once you get into that space, it's easy to keep unraveling; whether it's stress, physical issues, pain, feelings of being overwhelmed and out of control, they pile up fast and those little things have a way of turning into an enormous weight, don't they? I ask as a question because I doubt I'm alone in feeling this way - matter of fact I think I can see this exact scenario affecting other people that I love also. We do get overwhelmed, too booked or busy, overtired or exhausted, don't we?

I let people down this week because I didn't see the warning signs in time, but I let myself down by not staying on top of things. Maybe we are supposed to have these moments to remind us we don't have it all together....or that we need to keep an eye out for the weak spots which derail our progress.
