Valentines Day "Precursor?" Whatever.

I usually start about now learning My Funny Valentine on violin. ... And sometimes I need more time. More time? What is that? My self-help books and friends say, "To take the time." (Make, have, ... ?) In other words; if "I want the time; I need to schedule the time." And one unhealthy response for me in creative areas is to again respond with guilt, if I take some time and use it productively through creativity in many different areas like music, art, writing, guitar/violin making/repairs, and, ... yes and especially in business.
It is a good skill to be able to, and yes, learn how to be a beginner again. Of course learning how to be creative more in all areas of life, also is a good skill to have. If you know how to be a beginner again in an area that you have wanted to explore, think. Stop and think. ... and maybe it has slowed down and even stopped any progress,? Knowing this and adding strategy, skills, growth experiences, et cetera, this will benefit you. And you can easily see that by using learned skills, and even learning skills to make progress, finding out things of interest more and more as a beginner would, even with some extra growth experiences you have an advantage, especially from the status of being "blocked." Here any progressive decisions with follow-up of action, make probably long initiated and desired steps to a larger goal as in developing "executive thinking skills."
That is to say, beyond making product, meaning; art, a newsletter, a recording, an algorithm to use as a process in say business. That is, as an example; a template, form, sketch, set of directions, and maybe something appropriate in social media are, as well all products (You can include services, respectively.) are an integral step to getting the product and/or services to the client, who has as needs you yes again, products and services. ENTER "executive thinking skills." That means, some brainstortming on how to reach the client that would benefit from your products/services,... your business. There is often a good stretch of steps, processes, procedures, and what-not to be in the state of reaping the rewards of bringing usefulness to you efforts and helping, assisting, and working with your clients to make healthy changes in their utilisation of your business "output." In the long run, a healthy deal is a contract where both sides gain, a win/win situation, where your work complements theirs and even vice versa. Executive thinking skills are encompassing of this.
Think, imagine, live "as-if" it is already there. How does that work for you? Doe sit get the job done? Did you progress more than expected at on time? Do you intuitively think/feel you will gain in your developing of these suggestions? And as suggestions; take what you want, and leave the rest. I am suggesting visualising having what you need already and see the outcomes. This is like Einstein's "thinking experiments" that he wasd famous for. Good (stuff) IN. Good OUT. GIGO.
Things, constructs, and other pertinent obstacles that are seen as limits and overwhelming resistance in the procedures on the path of progress are now free of being roadblocks. They are now tools for overcoming and ... are melting away, losing their strength and their facade their empty power. They are now powerless when debunked. It is a good time to study your "fears." Your doubts as well fall in the progressive category now with the proper tools. An exercise is left to the reader in finding and learning useful tools that are perinent to the goals desired.
With tools the before-beginner status melts away as well. You are are no longer in a weak perspective of success. By studying, knowing and overcoming the obstacles in your project(s) you are at a viewpoint/perspective of power. This is a healthy "power point," one might say.
You, the successful are no longer in a dormant state. It is a "busy-gets-better" state of mind. You have the energy to make gains. It helps to healthily reinforce successes by acknowledging and even celebrating progress. It is a "learning and labor" skill, ... set of skills. Keep adding to your tool belt, your say, organon. Keep moving, and you get there. Newly acquired skills can be applied and integrated, made part of, that is, ... as your mode of operation. Tools, changes in "behaviour and thoughts canmake changes. Nothing is going to change without changes. Kind of John Nash's Equilibrium Theory applications. , ... used, utilised to make whole.
Why not be rid of the opposed stance? Meaning, saying ... be free from obstacles, be bigger than the obstacles, maybe delegate, and there is an 'executive" thinking skill working for you in your situation. REMEMBER. Generalise successes, and specify losses.
Yes, learn to change responses; That is making change. And rather be free of resistance, friction, unnecessary bypasses, and inefficiency. Now replace the "wrench in the spokes/gears" with decisions now eliminating, on life's terms, the remaining destructive and intimidating real and imagined paths that deter the dreams that you might have had and had abandoned essentially. You are being prepared to overcome blocks you had while in a "before-beginner" mindset . The obstacles prepare you for later success. What? Yes. You start to see they are within grasp. That you can honestly acquire the skills within the tools.
So, ... why miss out on some abandoned dreams, when it takes some changes that you are capable of such things. You want, by being a beginner again, to have tools taht will do the job. Commonly with outsmarting the work, you are much more likely to obtain your desire achievements. Outworking the probllem and problems yield rather poorly. Use your head, as an old cliche, so they say! Not any or very little resistance now manifests as a chance, a well-planned, well-thought out choice to see the proverbial "inch and take it, running with it. You can see how only competing against one's past self is true competition, comparing apples to apples, so they again say. Yes? Yes. Well, ... as compared to the past, you have succeeded.
The "product" and as well services in the business world, and your niche in it is more evident. It has a usefulness aided by a guiding chart of sorts, by journaling, noting indeed progress and goals, ... goals and progress, basically some useful changes that will bring change ... for the good.
Thanks, ... T.E.
