Week 2 – Firehose

I’m sure if I were at home, I’d still feel as if I were standing in front of a firehose with this course. It’s the nature of the beast. But I knew this first month would be extra challenging because of my travel schedule for October.

We have an annual vacation we take during the first two weeks in October. So I’m driving all day, finding a way to sandwich in my mid-day readings as well as the morning and evening homework. But, frankly, that’s pretty easy. I’m disappointed I wasn’t able to get the live webinar this afternoon — there’s so much in there that I need to do my homework for this week, but I’m catching up on the Digital Connections list I missed last week (maybe I shouldn’t admit this, because I’m listening to it while typing this, and we know that, ahem, we can’t think about two things at the same time). I’m comfortable in the digital world, so I’m listening for anything that’s new to me while I type this first missive for the week.

I’ve read several people mention their Old Blueprint is causing hassles for them as they adjust to these new ways. Mine is no different. It’s hard to see how I’ll move beyond this, but I have to believe I can and will, so I take this one day, one hour, and even one instant at a time.

I’ve had lots of negative moments. I’m concentrating on catching myself and shifting thoughts to positive. I’ve been reading a little about Color Code. I tested as a Blue. I can tell my husband is obviously a Red. This explains so much, and it’s so discouraging. I hope as I read more, I’ll find a way to deal with this.

And I just read weeks run from Monday to Sunday, so I’m jumping the gun a little with this post..  Moving on.
