Okay, so things have slowed down and there's a delay in your plans. Why act like a mopey teenager about it? Waiting can feel like forever, but really, it's only going to be one day before things start to push through again. In the meantime, there's no need to sulk. If you think creatively, you can do something useful with your downtime, such as starting a brand-new project or brainstorming new avenues for the current one. If you keep your chin up and your mind open, you'll find that this brief period passes in a flash.

You've got some truly great stories, and now's the time to share them. Open up to someone you don't normally interact with. Talk about your travels, and ask about theirs. Compare notes. And don't forget the importance of making your audience laugh. You're a natural comedian, so everyone's happy to pay attention to your funny digressions. Best of all, you'll grow through reliving your story for others. Maybe there's a chapter you'd forgotten, or one you've never really inspected before? New perspective looms -- isn't this exciting?
