It's time for another Good Idea / Bad Idea...
Didn't you just love that segment of Animaniacs?
Good Idea: Doing your own homework
Bad Idea: Doing your own dental work
Ahh, the memories.
For me, it's more time for another Good Habit / Bad Habit.
Good Habit: Thinking about positive plans for the future.
Bad Habit: Preventing myself from carrying them out through anxiety.
Good Habit: Joining a gym.
Bad Habit: Thinking about going.
Good Habit: Telling people the good things about themselves.
Bad Habit: Thinking bad things about them.
Good Habit: Having concern about the people I love and care about.
Bad Habit: Forgetting to worry about myself or, conversely, worrying about myself so much I don't notice their problems.
Good Habit: Seeking the opinion and input of people that matter.
Bad Habit: Seeking the approval of everyone.
Good Habit: Righteous indignation.
Bad Habit: Not acting on righteous indignation.
Good Habit: Carrying out a good idea with motivation and efficiency, crediting the clever person.
Bad Habit: Berating myself for not having had the idea.
Good Habit: Blogging, talking and generally being supremely emotionally honest the vast majority of the time.
Bad Habit: Boring the tits off everyone - you clearly don't all need to know my issues!
Good Habit: Having an opinion on something and stating it with eloquence.
Bad Habit: Failing to really think every part through in my hurry to form said opinion.
Good Habit: Having bags of good ideas.
Bad Habit: Procrastination.
Basically, I'm not so bad. If I stopped worrying about being crap to the point of being scared to do anything (in case I'm crap), I wouldn't be crap.
Wow... with that insight, I should be a therapist.
