I just spent all day doing ....nothing. Felt good too. I've practiced mini breaks all week and I'm getting used to them already. Now I have to watch those productivity levels. If you do hit a wall don't be afraid to let others know too, it really helps in the getting better process. Kind of fast tracks it. @ Sal: Thank you. I just spent all day doing ….nothing.

Thank you for giving me the courage to know that it is coming and the knowledge to know what to do when it happens. Just take a little break, as my good friend says "breathe in, breathe out, move on." Just keep reading and commenting on other blogs and you will find that inspiration in no time. Monika,

I hope you are so busy you haven't got time to scratch your bum. :-) I missed you. As a matter of fact I thought about you yesterday, our thoughts must have crossed oceans. Big hugs to you. @ ebele: hey girlfriend, where have you been hiding all these weeks? I hope you are so busy you haven’t got time to scratch your bum. :-) I missed you.

It's great to see you here. Sorry my reply is late. I took a few (much needed days off). I think you are right. Kidding ourselves doesn't help. It only furthers the issue. I really appreciate your insights too. You are certainly more qualified to talk about confidence than me. Writing about it has also helped me to find the perspective of the whole scenario. And you are right, I'm already feeling the buzz starting to vibrate again. Thank you for stopping by. :-) Steve: Welcome to my blog. It’s great to see you here. Sorry my reply is late.

Too often people filter what they're feeling in preference of what they think they <i>should</i> be feeling or doing. That only winds up making things worse, as you've suggested here. The truly confident thing to do it to acknowledge what you're feeling - that's how you know where you are in life, what's working and what isn't working. Your feelings are like an in-built feedback system for the world. Ignore them and you're ignoring a huge piece of who you are. Good for you for allowing yourself to feel down. I'm just coming out of a 'dark period' too, and I know I need to let that happen, let myself off the hook and take care of myself. I know I'll be back on buzzing form soon, and I suspect you know that you will too. Sounds like you’ve got things pretty much sorted Monika.
