Deft or daft?
2009-08-13 17:15Always the priorities.
I know what I need to do and I know what I want to do. I want to do other things than I need, but I know that I need to do the things that I need to do in order to survive. There are also things that you both want and need to do. Rare as they may be, but they do exist.
I'm pretty sure if you think about it for a minute you can figure out in which category to put the things that you have on your mind. Then you just have to face the facts and do what you need to do.
Now there are things that you neither need nor want to do, but you do them anyway. There may be different reasons for these: bad habits caused by laziness, bad habits caused by you doing something that was good/fun in the past but your circumstances changed, and of course addiction. There are probably lots of other sub-categories for these, but it doesn't matter much. They all have the same properties: You don't need to do them, and you don't want to do them. (Even though at a glance it might seem like you want to do it, like smoking a cigarette or something like that.)
Of course it can be hard to quit doing something, or replacing one habit with a better one, but it's not impossible. You just have to realize that what you're doing is bad for you and that you, if you think about it, don't really want to do it.
So anyway, I've been thinking over some things in my life, like how I always postpone difficult things or take the easy way out, and I've begun changing the way I think about things. I'm starting to cook proper food more often and when I realize that I should do something (that can be postponed without any larger catastrophe) I try to tell myself to do it right away. It's helping my overall health and I just thought I should share this with you.
Thanks for reading :)
