Every day I repeat Do it Now! (twice a day) And this week it has seeped in and for all the things that need to be done and all the things that I have put off doing, (it’s a long list). I now feel and hear “do it now!”

Do it Now

It’s a new and surprising thing to be happening to me as I have had issues with procrastination and overwhelm for a very long time. So, while I still feel overwhelmed by the amount of Do IT NOW tasks, I am certain that once I am done with that pile, that the new day to day tasks will be less daunting and easily managed.

But for this week at least, while I work thru all of my do-it-now tasks, I am grateful for a new and positive habit that is forming, right now. It is the first time ever that I even noticed myself creating a habit, so I am pleasantly surprised although a little tired.

I am also feeling more hopeful and happy day to day than I was before I started this class. And I am beginning to notice how I am allowing other people’s problems to affect how I am feeling. And then I can actually shift that back to them or at least out of my head.

I am not responsible for their problems and how they feel. I can be supportive and be available to listen, but I do not have to let their worries hold me down and wreck my day. To be learning how to be observant to my thoughts and feelings is an amazing skill that I didn’t even realize I was missing, and I wish I learned it decades ago, but I will start from here and move forward to master it.

I’m looking forward to the class on Sunday. And while I didn’t master getting all of the things done every day. I am getting better and better of doing more of them each and every day. I will continue to press myself to push thru the resistance to get me to my goal.
