How many people have said that they are "the world's biggest procrastinator." That's not me. I do get a lot done. Eventually.
So I'm not the biggest procrastinator . . . but I'm up there. Pretty close to the top, probably.
Take tonight, for example. I should be doing paperwork and website updating for a community group that I volunteer with. It's important stuff and people are counting on my getting it done. That should be motivation enough, right? But here I am, distracting myself from my projects with a little bit of writing here.
I'd intended to start this journal months ago. I wanted to chronicle the journey I've been on for the last year and a half or so, not wanting to forget how I learned what I learned and the chronology of when. It's a little too late (more procrastinating?) because some of it has become a blur now. I'm starting tonight though. Random thoughts on random ideas or memories.
Why tonight? Because as long as I'm doing this, I not doing that. That project that's sitting spread out on the floor over there. That thing that's not holding my attention even though the work has a big hold on my life (and my heart).
This journey back to health and wholeness has proved that I'm not really a total procrastinator. Lots of goals have been set and met. I have a lot of motivation when it comes to my path of self discovery, health improvement and mind-body connection. Maybe one of the new goals should be ditching the procrastination thing.
I'm going to start that now. Any moment now. I can hear that pile of papers calling me. And yes . . . I'm listening.
