HOW I RELUCTANTLY WENT FROM OBSTACLE TO OPPORTUNITY YESTERDAY... 😆
Yesterday, I was BANNED from posting and commenting in facebook groups for 24 hours... due to me over-zealously posting my memes into too many groups Sunday night. 😂
When I received the ban, my facebook notifications also came to a halt...
I was in facebook jail... isolation... separated from most of the facebook world...
.
When I woke up Monday morning, the realization of my current ban came to my mind...
I had thoughts like...
- "I am a horrible person for being banned like a criminal."
- "I will probaby get banned from facebook forever."
- "My whole anxiety project is doomed to fail..."
😂
I became distinctly aware of the relationship between my catastrophic thoughts and the potential depression they could bring on...
I envisioned spending the whole day in bed feeling sorry for myself... getting absolutely nothing done...
But then I had the thought...
"What if this ban could actually be an OPPORTUNITY... FORCING me to do something else with my time?"
So, I had the idea that I would back up all of my posts onto my "website-in-progress" as well as make a copy of my facebook friend list during my free time...
This 1-day ban might have been the best thing that happened to me in a long time... 😂

Could your obstacle also be an opportunity?
What positive direction could you take starting today?
