One thing at a time.
You know how it goes? On one hand you want to be yourself – this is who I am, I am proud of that and on the other you’re thinking – yeah but that makes me look like a right weirdo.
And then there’s that episode of Scrubs where they suggest that when you’ve just started seeing someone, you don’t want to let out the crazy too soon. They won’t like that…
The train of thought in my head falls apart soon after that really. I can never seem to sort it out. I want to be with someone I can be myself with but I don’t feel like I meet those sort of people that often.
Anyway.
I am currently trying to do one thing at a time. I want to be able to concentrate on that one thing. Par example:
- I’ve stopped walking around with headphones in.
- I’ve started to not even turn the radio on in the car.
- When I cook tea, I sit down and eat tea in the dining room instead of not really watching the tv.
- When I watch tv. I just watch tv, which isn’t that often.
I mean, in some respects it’s everything I do and most of them are a work in progress…
See mindfulness.
