Week 23 :: Lesson Learned Recently

I constantly feel like a work-in-progress.

I can see the woman I want to be, and the life I want to lead, and sometimes it's just not clear to me how to get there.

I'm taking Kelly Rae's Flying Lessons e-course right now, and to say I'm feeling overwhelmed is an understatement. There were times last week (and the week before, and the week before that) where I questioned the sanity in taking two e-courses back to back on top of trying to learn how to make a website (because I just can't afford to pay someone, though if I could, I so would), write an e-course/e-book of my own, run a jewelry business, blog, network, and, you know, be a good sister, friend, daughter, auntie. Oh, and do laundry.

There were times when I said, yep, I'm nuts. And there will be more of those moments.

There were times when I cried in frustration. And I probably will again.

I've been pushing my limits, and a big part of me is scared of breaking apart like I did last fall. Depression isn't fun, it isn't easy, and I don't want to go back there.

But then I had an ah-ha moment that Oprah's always talking about last Friday, thanks to Kelly Rae's class. My moment had pretty much nothing to do with that day's class topic, but it came from Kelly Rae acknowledging she was feeling overwhelmed. Here's what it was for me (it's a multi-part ah-ha moment):

It started with: I'm nowhere near where I was last fall. I've outgrown it. (And I felt the pressure lift a little.)

Then moved to: Pushing my limits is a good thing, a healthy thing. And so is a day off. (A little more.)

And finished with: It's not that I'm miserable, it's that I'm uncomfortable. And that's okay. (Deep breath.)


My ah-ha moment showed me that this is all a part of the process of evolving. I'm learning that I can acknowledge the overwhelming feelings without taking it into me. I'm learning that it's okay to feel overwhelmed in the first place. I recognize I'm going through a creative growth spurt, so it's okay to feel uncomfortable - this is pretty much creative puberty. And like puberty, it'll end eventually, right?
