WHEW!
Naturally everyone can relate to feeling a bit behind right? I have to say that’s a feeling that I am not used to at all. I am a list maker a scheduler, you know the sort of person, everyone does. Sometimes they make you sick with their organization……I admit it, I am one of these types.
I am that way in everything I do. School is no exception, the exception to that seems to be this year. Did I plan? Yes actually I did. So how did it happen? How did I manage to get behind in the very first Month of school……Honestly!!
It’s all about learning something new and for me it is more than just a few things. Number one is the new and very Awesome E-learning system we have in place this year, that I really didn’t explore as much as I thought I did.
Please refrain from laughing here……I logged onto the sight and found my class. In addition to classes on Tuesday and Thursday night that are live, we have a number of videos to watch. I could see the number of videos and it APPEARED to be 10 videos. Appear is the optimum word here because there were 4 sections of videos so I didn’t have 10 videos to watch, I had 40. YIKES!
Lesson number one: Fully Investigate anything new on the learning sight….Very Important.
I hope you are still not laughing because after this next statement you are going to think, “wow, how anal can someone be?” Honestly I had to work hard, and watch hours of video in a sitting to feel semi-caught up. Here’s the deal, I have never worked from a position of being behind, due to my list-making and scheduling, I am absolutely positive I do NOT like it.
Lesson number two: I do NOT like being behind, I know because I just seen me do it.
Okay all humor aside, seriously I have found out what my mental strength is all about. I could have cracked and quite frankly I may have done that last year when I found out the immensity of my mistake. Instead I pulled my boots up by the boot straps and did what I needed to do to get the job done.
I have a new schedule now. One that keeps the whip snapping and gets me closer to being where I want to be. Is it on the calendar? YOU BET! Do I have a list of the things that I need to do to get it done? Right in front of My face at all times.
Am I kicking my own ASS over the mistake I made…..HELL NO! Moving on.
So we continue on the journey of wellness in a world full of illness, with a group of individuals that are just as passionate about healing the world as I am.
I am truly blessed!
