Positive Thoughts Are Tricky

Funny how things work. When I was less planned, less believing and creating with little
thought I was selling left and right. Well maybe not left AND right but there were a lot of left selling going on. What an ego boost that was. It set me on the path to making me think selling on Etsy would be easy. A sure thing. "If I can sell this few of items while
working...just think what I can do with tons of time and not!" 🤯 Now I have all the time, positive thoughts and belief in myself that I can stand. And all I hear now are crickets! Silence. No sales since May. Early May. What seems like eons ago, May. I know I'm not doing anything wrong and I know plenty go through dry spells too. But your mind does start to lose its confidence at some point when you’re just starting out. You drift to unpositive (is that a word?) thinking.
Panic. What have I done! What was I thinking! Why did I think this would work?! I'm half there and half not. This is a ride I knew would take a while. A road I knew would be trying. I revert always to those days of how it seemed like this venture was possible. I DO create good products. I am good at what I do. I did make good sales. I was right to have hope. I AM right to have hope. So of course me being me...the Taurus that I am, I will push through. Create and continue to wait.
My savings isn't at a critical stage yet. Trust me, it's dwindled quite too much for my liking but I'm still good. I still feel very grateful and blessed to have this opportunity to achieve my goal. Not many can say they do. I will remain positive and cancel out those pesky mind drifts. Boy they come on strong though don't they? Nasty little gremlins. When I get like that, I try to take breath and think of the positives that occurred that day. I think exercising helps too. Having that as a daily routine gives me some consistency. Something I can control in the midst of my ups and down.
What venture have you started that is new? Is it Etsy too? Or something else that makes you question why you started? Makes you wonder what the heck you were thinking? But then you're still pushed to go on by some cosmic force. To see it through. Let me know your struggles. How do you cope with them? I wanna hear your story. 'Cause we're gonna get through it together! Pinky swear. Or perhaps you made it the other side of it. Which in that case, I really wanna know your story and how you managed that feat.
