Challenges & Lessons Learned:
This week has been tough because Sypher is still struggling with how he views things and that caused some tension on Halloween. It is also tough because money is tight and I don’t know what is going to happen over the next two months.
I did get some good news that my baby’s insurance was able to renew. My renewal for other things has officially gone through. However, I am still working on getting a letter for my job but have been approved to be off another month until after the baby’s arrival. Still working on childcare.
This week has taught me that it is better to take a moment to breathe before responding to a child who is acting out. In the moment I would have lost it and put in consequences that might have been too harsh for the situation at hand without acknowledging feelings but because I took a minute to think and breathe and come to terms with my emotions instead, we were able to have a conversation. We reached a mutual understanding of how our feelings are valid and allowed but we have to control our behaviors and that disrespect is not okay especially when someone has done nothing to deserve the disrespect.
Next Week's Focus:
- Drafting a simple content calendar
- Putting the shelves up
- Make enough money to pay bills and move the business forward
- Wait for a response on my YouTube poll
- Respond to feedback from my viewers
- Finish more of the edit on my next book
- Finish the backlog of videos I have planned
- Work on promoting my site
- Finish projects to sell
