This blog post is in response to Natalie\u2019s 10 Day Freedom Plan Blog \ufeff\ufeffChallenge\ufeff\ufeff\ufeff Day 1<\/a> which is to <\/g>t<\/g>ake some time to think about your biggest challenges, then list down 2-3 of them and write a few lines about why you think they are holding you back.<\/p>

More...<\/span><\/p>


<\/span><\/p>

Challenge 1: this is a challenge  that I have known about now for - let's see over 40 years. I know I have good ideas. I know I am smart. I know I write well. But - and this is the big challenge - when I get into a project I jump ahead in my mind thinking about the end of it and I tell myself that nobody will like it or that it will wind up being something that someone else has done and it then sits in a folder on my computer.

<\/p>

<\/p>

As an example: For years I\u2019ve talked and made notes, lots of notes, on a project about aging and I have talked with other people about what I'm going to do. Most of them are very positive. Do I listen to them? Nope - I listen to the one or two people who say to me what do you want to do that for everybody else is doing that it's already been done.<\/p><\/div>

Why is it holding me back? Because I let it! <\/p>

<\/p>

Challenge 2:  good grief the first one is hard enough and it contains a lot of little challenges but I can think of another one.<\/p><\/div>

<\/p>

There's a lot of things I like to do and a lot of things I need to do. I also know that I like to do things in the morning and in the daylight. So when it gets dark out or when it's raining out I tend to not want to do much of anything.<\/p>

It holds me back because there\u2019s a limited number of morning hours and daylight hours. Especially as we go in the fall and winter.<\/p>

I have to relearn that I can do things later at night. I know I am capable of thatt. I say relearn as I have two advanced degrees I managed to obtain. The second one as a single parent who also worked. And a lot of the school work got done late at night. Yeah...I'm a lot older now, but that is not an excuse


<\/p>

These are my challenges! I will <\/span>overcome<\/span> them!<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>
