When I started this blog, I said I wanted to share my whole journey, the good, the bad and the ugly - So far it has all been pretty good! Which is fantastic, a few minor wobbles here and there but nothing major! Until this week!
Those of you who follow my blog will know that I work over 50 hours a week and right now it is the 6 weeks summer holidays, so every single weekday I have at least 4-5 children a day, for at least 10 hours a day! Add to that all the Arbonne work I have been doing and there is a lot of working hours being clocked up! And again, those who follow this blog will know I also have failing kidneys to contend with!
Last week I planned a party for Friday night and invited over 20 people... yes TWENTY people and not one single person came - Some had genuine reasons which I totally understand and others just point blank ignored me! It felt like a huge fail. But I decided to register with Zoom, and play about with it, navigate my way round and try to record my 60 second story - It was terrible!
Roll in to the weekend and the people I had planned one to ones with cancelled, so Mark and I went out on Sunday and did some cold market prospecting - It was so much fun and the buzz was incredible, but it soon died down as we went in to the week.
On Tuesday I had a product event for someone which, actually that went incredibly well, I met some lovely people and the host got £211 worth if fabulous products for £65! I got home really late and the next day I felt so ill, I felt so down and really actually just wanted to cry. I was getting mild anxiety attacks which would not go away and getting worse throughout the day. That evening I went to an opportunity meeting, we were supposed to be taking prospects... but they cancelled, Mark and I went anyway!
I got some really good advice, I then went home and instead of doing what I normally do, which is reach for the laptop and do more Arbonne before bed, I actually did nothing - I watched Celebrity Big Brother as a fellow Arbonne Independent Consultant is in it and I wanted to see if I could spot any Arbonne products!
This morning I got up and felt a bit better, but still not quiet myself - I felt like I had lost my Arbonne spark! That is until the strangest, most bizarre thing happened... I got a notification from Facebook to say someone had accepted my friend request - but the thing was, I had not even sent a request to this person. I had not spoken to them for so many years and only knew them for about 1 year! It was totally random!
I messaged him and said that I had the notification but I had not sent the request, he told me he had literally just had the request come through. I honestly have no idea how or why it happened but to cut a long story short, we got chatting, I told him about my business and I am just about to host a Zoom meeting with him!! ARGH - Talk about not prepared!
This has not just given me my spark back, this has just lit a huge box of fireworks and I am fit to explode with excitement. Now, I know he may not sign up, but actually, the fact I feel like this again, I am so over the moon! Even if this was meant to happen just to help me get back on track then, to me that is amazing - If however he does see the huge potential and signs up, then WOW! I will be utterly speechless! (There is a first time for everything)
One thing I have learned now though is, that it is okay to step back and take time to recharge. In fact not only is it okay, it is really important. Even the Duracell bunny needs to recahrge his batteries now and then!!
