tba (rough, being worked on) This is like a worksheet, with my personal insertions, as part of my "I'm effective anyway, but with so much headwind and diversions..." which I'd like to change so I can go forward faster on my mission. This should not be considered (or judged as) a character flaw, but as a strategy to improve.
WHAT AM I THINKING AND SAYING TO MYSELF?
When I'm prepared. When I feel beter, I'll do it.
I'm kinda spaced now. I'll wait for it to clear up.
I don't feel like it.
I don't have the space for it.
There is something else I'm concern about...(What?)
Not now
Do I really have anything better to do than what I should do next?
This seems too difficult (To go ahead and do something other than sit here and
dawdle around with surfing or reading.)
My body hurts, kind of a headache
It's unpleasant. I need some pleasantness, pleasure now. (I'm empty.)
RESULTS
Not even space to call a friend who might need some reassurance?
These are erroneous brain messages. What is the complete message?
CURE
Can't I feel this and do something at the same time? (And the discomfort will go away from my mind probably, once I get started.)
Work on rewiring my brain, which means I need to write out a plausible script for how the thinking may go, or I won't have a prayer of knowing what to do and I'll just do the same thing.
If I center and plan - then I can fire away all day, with pauses and in total awareness so I adjust my body, etc., as needed. See my Center And Plan procedure.
In order not to go with the whim (unthought out erroneous brain message) of the moment, I need to have something to put in there that I'd prefer...list to refer to...
activities, fun, create re mission.
Centering session:
Review what I want in life
A vibrant, productive life (too general)
To be a person of purpose, caring, compassion - and to do that I need to be
on purpose - and certainly take care of myself and fill my tank.
