The road is paved with good intentions. My road is paved so deeply that there is little dirt left to pave at this point. Although I want to keep this blog upbeat, let’s face it, life can be messy and disappointing at times as well. No one lives in a happy-go-lucky bubble all the time and I think it’s good to express both the good and the bad to even things out.
I am irritated right now. With myself. Why? Well, because I have all these great intentions, bucket list, goals, etc. to reinvent myself and improve my life and yet my actions are nil at this point. For instance, I want to lose weight and get myself in shape. Yet last night I stopped for McDonalds, ate way more than necessary, and then proceeded to veg out on the couch for several hours ignoring my lists and goals that I hoped to get through last night.
Yes, it is perfectly okay to chill out every now and then, but I am a perfectionist with an all-or-nothing attitude, so once I do something off the beaten path, I usually call the day a crap shoot and vow to “start tomorrow. First thing, I must stop the perfectionist approach. It just doesn’t work. Second, be active. Just do it. Get out there and do something. Live boldly. Try new things and get through the necessary stuff on the to-do list.
Usually, after some good progress, I tend to reflect and think, “wow, that was easy.” It’s not hard to do, it’s just getting started that’s rough.
Take action. One step. That’s all that’s needed. I can do it. So can you!
