Get Going

 Get Going!

Going Forward

 Still questioning the whole decision I made about vets and housing. Going forward staying on mission despite doubts.

Mission One. Provide Vets struggling w/addiction housing and support.

Likely goal: Obtain Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC)

Beyond Mission to Flow...

1. Do Deep Work

When we do deep work like writing, reading books, or computer programming, we’ve chosen an activity that is actually conducive to flow. 

2. Avoid Interruptions

One focused hour a day of uninterrupted creation time can turn almost anyone into a prolific creator, the key work being “uninterrupted.” 

3. Listen to the Same Music Track on Repeat

When you play the same music track over and over, you drown out the noise around you, and it because it’s on repeat you no longer have to give it conscious attention. All your attention can be directed to doing deep work.

4. Work for Long Enough to Get into Flow

On any given day, it might take me 30–45 minutes to get into flow. It’s one shitty first sentence after another, almost all the way to 1000 words. Eventually, I become more lucid, and it goes from writing gibberish to the the construction of coherent sentences and writing articles like this one. As Anne Lamott once said “all good writing begins with terrible first efforts.”

Getting on track?

Committed to setting up schedule to share with Cindy. Need to work thru pain when walking Rory. 

Working Through Fear

Coming out of avoidance response and visceral fear.(Avoidance behaviors are any actions a person takes to escape from difficult thoughts and feelings. These behaviors can occur in many different ways and may include actions that a person does or does not do)

Fear of asking for more money, fear of failure maybe mostly fear of success. Meditated for 20 minutes. Back info full engagement with the folks supporting me.

Primary focus on getting first member-guest.

Struggling

 Trying to get over the goal line; first renter. Broke, lots to do. Living in fear. Need to get back on truck w/food, exercise and MEDITATION.

Release Fear
