Let’s get this out of the way now, Yes, I’m back from an unintended break from posting here. I had big plans for other posts that fell through or I just lost the passion for what I was writing. I had a great post breaking down one of the contracts required to make a Real Estate deal and as I neared the end of the post, I started to feel like the post was forced and I wouldn’t have even wanted to read it. Maybe someday I’ll retry that idea and actually share it with you all. I promise that I will get back to writing these for your, and my, enjoyment. As always, before I get going, please comment with and questions or suggestions that I can help you address. My job is to help you in any way that I can, I strive to be a full-service REALTOR® and so far, I believe that I have done just that.
My apologies if I am a little rusty in writing this, I will get back to the style that, well, makes more sense and flows better as I get back into the swing of things. Not that you should tell the world that you are sorry for a step down in quality of service, or whatever you are getting back to, but you need to acknowledge it yourself so you can accept a lower level of output. It is only natural that you will be a little rusty in what you are doing after a hiatus. I know that this will not be as good of a post as my last ones, when I had been writing more often. I like to think of it this way; if you had been going to the gym for a long time and then took some time off for some reason, you would not be able to lift as heavy of weights or run as long. It takes time to get back into the swing of things and get back to where you believe you should be. I tried to write other posts but only got through a single paragraph and then got distracted by something or just didn’t feel that it was going to be good enough to share with you. I’m not talking about you, Mom. I know you’d love it and think it was great. I had built up certain standards that I was hoping to maintain. I now know that since I took a much longer break than I had intended, I was never going to hit those standards right out of the gate. This post is meant to share the struggle of getting back into a routine despite the internal struggles.
Step 1: You need to create a more realistic goal or standard that you want to meet. With this post, I’m just going to keep writing and see how I like it in the end, and I’ll probably post it. Look at that, I uploaded it despite the quality not being up to my standard. Let’s get back to the gym example that was brought up earlier. When I go through that situation, I go to the gym and always seem to try my old workouts, which kick my ass more than they ever did before. I then adjust the weights and times to accommodate my level of fitness at the time (I felt really weak when I did this). I then have obvious goals to reach, and then exceed. You don’t need to reach for your original goals when you are getting started again, but you should aim to achieve where you were previously. Get out of the Red in a way. Great, I just remembered that I have been slacking on going to the gym too, I guess I’ll have to go today then to get back to that routine too. I’m going to be sore tomorrow.
I think I’m going to take a break from writing this so I can eat lunch, I wonder if I’ll come back to writing afterwards, or this will just go into a folder on my computer never to be seen again.
Would you look at that, I actually started writing again, I think I am officially back in this routine. Or do I need to wait until I write another post, and actually post it. That is probably more accurate, but I’ll take this as a step in the right direction.
Step 2: Once you’ve set a realistic goal for where you are, when you get back into your routine, you need to make sure that you actually follow it so you can achieve your goal. Don’t give up, keep pushing, and all those other motivational sayings that tell you to keep pushing. You can’t make any progress towards your goals unless you keep working at it. I am determined to get back to my writing level (and fitness level) so I will not let myself give up and stop working.
Step 3: When I have a goal in mind, I make sure that I track my progress towards that goal. I have written out my workout plan for, I think, 7 weeks where I’ll track the times and weights that I used for each specific day. I will adjust the future workout plans as time goes on. I think the only way I can track my progress in writing this blog is just to do it and react to your comments. In Real Estate, I have a lot of ways that I am tracking my progress. Thank you, Microsoft Excel. As you are tracking your progress towards your goal, you’ll be able to adjust your plan(s) to make better progress if you have that desire. I know I have tried changing out many things for many of my goals. That is another struggle, finding the best way to achieve your goals. The other constant is that I keep working hard and keep pushing towards my goal.
Step 4: I guess Step 4 would just be ‘Rinse and Repeat’. I hate to say that, but at the moment, I can’t think of anything that would be Step 4 better than that.
I think I might be done here. As of now, I am satisfied with this post, but I’m going to wait and re-read it later to see if I am still happy with it. That is the biggest thing that I’m taking away from this exercise of getting back into the writing blog routine. I’m going to take my time and make sure that I am happy with what I am going to put out there. No need to rush it. What do you think, how’d I do? I vow to write better and about something more exciting than my struggle to get back into various routines that I hope I succeed in regaining control. Have a great day and Let’s go see some houses.
