Clint, Your humor always shines through: "I’m realizing there are two kinds of breaking down." I also like: I also think it is important to know that: "What I’m learning is that big accomplishments are usually just small accomplishments stacked on top of each other."
I am pretty good at accomplishing things (should be after 81 years!) but often when there are things I do not enjoy doing or that I find boring, it is easier to postpone or to not do them! Then sometimes I make it worse by telling myself, "I am 81 years old and I do not have to do what I don't want to do!" But that doesn't work too well when the things that do not get done NEED to get done or they just pile up and become more intimidating!
Hopefully your therapists words will stick (funny how sometimes the same advice is meaninful and sticks and then sometimes it isn't. Not to be negative, but you will probably forget these words of wisdom and revert back to previous bahaviors. WE ALL DO IT! So my advice is make a sign that will remind you in case you forget!
"Here's to many more small accomplishemnts to be stacked up!"
Thanks, Michael. Glad you got some giggles out of my smartassness.
I will most definitely “forget” my therapist’s recommendation. Sooner or later, my stubborn brain will revert and I’ll have to relearn it. But for now, it’s working and I’m happy to print out a reminder to put around the house. :-p Cheers, my dears!
Brian these days I don't set targets or have to do lists, my mantra is
If it gets done it will get done. 😏 Cheers DougT 🏴🇬🇧
Good read and yes, I do the same thing (on occasions) lol
Thanks, Larry. “On occasions” huh? I can certainly relate!
