Happy Monday!! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! My weekend was jammed pack with photography classes, going out with some friends and celebrating a combination of Mother’s Day and my nephew’s 11th birthday! It was busy but a great weekend.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but the picture that I paint in my head of how things should be definitely screws me up! Nothing ever turns out the way that I picture it in my head. I feel like I waste so much valuable time and mental energy trying to visualize things that I have no control over.
Typically, I post Monday-Friday but yesterday I felt compelled to write up a new blog post. As you can see I changed the design of my blog and as I mentioned yesterday things did not go as planned for me. The mishap with the blog took up several hours trying to fix it and it is still not completely right. The desktop version is working well right now but the mobile version still needs to be fixed and I don’t even know where to start.
The Picture in My Head
My plans for the day got a little hijacked as I attempted to correct what happened. I had to call in reinforcements from several people and we are still working on sorting things out. Hopefully I won’t have to delete the new theme and reinstall it and start over again. š
I definitely had a picture in my head of how the new design was going to go and this was for sure not it!! I can get so caught up in how things are supposed to be in my head that I don’t see things for what they really are.
Mindfulness has taught me to meet what arises, without judging or labeling it as good or bad. To view it neutrally. To recognize things as they are and not how we want them to be. It’s not always an easy way to look at things but I have found it to be helpful. Now I just need to remember this when during times of frustration! š
