Think less, Do more

Rather than make entries here, I’ve been journaling. It’s good. I’m getting the freaky thoughts out of the way, then working on my business fairly unfettered. I guess. Anyway I’m doing stuff.

Often when I’m thinking-vs-doing, I’m fretting or second guessing myself somehow. I have something to do I’m nervous about or really don’t want to do for whatever reason… I can totally think myself out of it. I’m not putting it off though, I’m rationally weighing options. uh huh.

I’ve actually been on my way out the door, purse & keys in hand… and literally talked myself out of going. Just put the keys down and didn’t go.

IF I’m paying attention and mindful of what’s up… I can pep talk myself with ‘Don’t think, just do it’ and snap out of this lame headgame.

(Yeah, I talk to myself a lot.)

Even when I was a kid, I was happy to sit in my room and stare at the wall and think about stuff. I like to make plans and charts and research online. I might enjoy that part more than actually carrying out the plan.

But, hey guess what? I’m finding out that if I just sit and plan for a week at my computer… my ass gets wider, my eyes too sensitive to light, my leg cramps up.

How about I get off my butt and do some stuff? ok then… good plan.
