Work Fatigue and Distractions
Life happens. It can either happen to you or for you. You decide. My decisions, conscious or unconscious, influence my outcomes. I can and have chosen a victim’s mentality. The mindset, with verbal and nonverbal enforcement, says I’m a victim. Those thoughts and actions affirm negativity and unproductive behavior. When I behave and think in that manner, positivity, rarely, if ever happens.
Distractions happen. I get tired. I get overwhelmed. I tend to think I can do all things needed and know, from experience, that’s not the case. Yet, with limited resources, I have to get those things done. But something just occurred. I can barter. I can leverage my expertise in multiple industries for those needing assistance. They can get what they want and need, as can I.
Moving forward, that’s what I’ll do. I’ll find a way to leverage new relationships with those possessing subject matter expertise and talents I require. I’ll provide them what they need and vice versa.
Three or four hours ago when I came up with the title for this list, I had no idea it would morph into what it has.
Today, Thursday, August 25, 2022, I am grateful that:
Epiphanies can happen at any time. Typing out my list and the thought of bartering my expertise wasn’t something that had occurred for years, possibly decades. In fact, the last person I knew to actively barter was a carpet cleaner I worked for while in college.
Nick and I had a great conversation this morning. We are going through a strangely similar situation and it’s interesting how we are both handling our situations. We both offered words of encouragement and it’ll be cool to see how things move forward for us both.
Final preparations are almost completed. I’ll need the expertise of others moving forward, and will barter for those skills, but I’m nearly finished with everything I can. So happy to be at this stage of the process.
Do you listen to that quiet voice?
How does reading and listening to what I’m going through assist you?
Could your experiences benefit others?
How will you be impactful for those strangers?
Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
