The walls of pressure

Everyone wants to do well. That's one of the reason why we put in the extra effort in order to achieve our targets. This is also when the walls of pressure start to come up. I don't know about you but I must admit I'm a little claustrophobic. When walls come up, fear starts to slip in. Fear is a mortal enemy. It slowly erodes your confidence and self-belief and creating an illusion of helplessness. It freezes the blood and prevents action. Some people perceive fear as a weakness. Whatever the case, fear is a great cause for worry. Now examine the walls that come up. It tends to block your view, of what your real goal is. The only thing that you need to know is that you need to work hard. Buckle down, bite the bit, pull up your socks and work. There may come a time when the burden becomes too great to support and starts weighing you down. There may even be a danger of being squashed. When that time comes, take a deep breath, put down whatever you are doing and take a break. Maybe have a Kit-kat or something. Re-evaluate what you have done and how far you are form your target. When you feel well-rested then pick up the same load and finish the race. It's never wrong to set high expectations but do also know your limits and rest when required.

Till next time, may the mid-terms not come back and haunt me. Just in case, I'll eat more garlic and carry a wooden stake.
