BLOCKBUSTERS…. How do you bust through those blocks?!?

 


For weeks and weeks I’ve had a block.

Not just a writer’s block, although that too has been an issue too as I’ve put off and put off writing a blog.

A mental block, if you will.

Some sort of life block, which is stopping me moving forward, and I can’t work out what it is - but it’s very frustrating.

If you remember that awesome TV game show Blockbusters, you’ll know how the contestants had to work their way across the board without getting blocked. They had a route in mind and a plan to get there, and when things went wrong, they had to work out a way around the blocked hexagons.



That’s how I feel.

Except I can’t work out what the blocks are.

I feel an enormous sense of frustration at not moving forward, and all year I’ve been trying to work out why this is happening, and what’s the solution to fix it.

I’m consciously aware that we’re nearly in June, and as we reach the halfway point of the year, it is blatant that I’m not yet halfway through my planned targets.

Very concerning, frustrating, demotivating, annoying and bewildering as to what’s going wrong, and why 2023 is not panning out as I’d planned.

I’ve never been in such a rut before, and it’s jarring.

I feel stagnant, still, stuck, and can’t work out how to move forward.

It’s been said that if you’re not growing, you’re dying, and that becomes glaringly apparent as the days tick on, and nothing of any real property progress has been achieved.

Yes, the housing market’s a struggle at the minute, and house prices have soared, which is very frustrating for me looking for a cheap, cheerful deal 😤

But I’m not overpaying for a property that’s not worth the price, so I’m having to sit on my hands until the mad buying frenzy calms down.

This is difficult, as I’m not the most patient of people.

What’s to be done?

How do I bust my blocks?!

How do I become a blockbuster?!?

Still scratching my head trying to work it out…

…Can I have an A please, Bob?!
