9/23/16 - Whatever you do, do something to make yourself proud. - Do it for yourself, not anyone else. - Doing anything with the worry of approval distracts from its quality. - Take every step with excitement, even when you're not understood. - Meet doubt light-heartedly, nobody listened to Einstein at first; prove them wrong with patient, humble determination/confidence. - Identify the pesky shifts of inner criticism and remain excited. - Remind yourself how proud, at peace, and accomplished you'll feel compared to how you'll feel if you give in to temptation. - Engage in healthy activities with fun. (Not to get fun). - Stay vigilant. The laziest thought can destroy you. - Give yourself time to comfortably enjoy completing your goals; false urgency steals focus, enjoyment, and willingness to continue. - It's okay to do a little now and a little later; just do something now. - Ask yourself, “What else am I going to do?” when you don't want to start. - It's okay to feel exhausted and still function. You won't die. Identify that anxiety and keep moving. - It's never too late to start. It's never too early to start. - It's about living, not feeling good/comfortable. Distraction will try to convince you it would feel “better” to *insert activity here*. Don't listen. Time moves on and you'll feel just fine keeping focused. - Actively distract yourself from anxiety/temptation. Anything is good. - Engaging in your passions/old hobbies is not a waste of time. Don't feel guilty. You can't break out of boredom/temptation/anxiety by thinking about it. You have to DO things.
