you know you shouldn't...there's a moment of hesitation long enough for you to justify whatever it is you plan on doing...and then..you..do it. whatever guilt filled thing you just did- thats called NOT having self control. see, what i've come to find out is this: sometimes the hardest thing to do is NOT doing anything at all.i remember one sermon pastor romeo preached at my little red doored church on the upper east side in which he said "sometimes, people, not doing anything is the best thing you can do." sometimes you gotta let go & not do.
bad habits die hard. this self control concept, im choosing to make it a primary focus for my week. its time to start holding back & practicin a little self d-i-s-c-i-p-l-i-n-e. know what i mean? how easy is it to kick back & have a donut versus getting up and running. how bout buying a lunch instead of packing one. or staying up late & going out with friends vs getting to bed early & waking up early to, hmm, i dont know, clean & get some chores done? i think there are plenty of different areas in my life (anyone's life) where i could stand a little self discipline & control. it feels good to get things done & like my friend weezy says, its not the process but the PROGRESS that feels the best. the more i talk to myself about devising some strategic moves the more motivated i feel to make it happen. if i can see myself doing it, i can usually make it happen. i know its time to tighten my belt & make smart changes for the better. i dont like the icky feeling that follows guilty self indulgence. no one has the power to change how i feel but me, so here we go.
no more guilty pleasures. at least... not as often. i should seriously consider enrolling in tae kwon do;)
