It’s easy to clean your things. It’s easy to exercise. It’s easy to write down your thoughts.
Of course, I know that it’s easy because I’ve done them before. They really are easy to execute.
Yet why am I so reluctant to do them? Is it because they’re so easy that I find them a waste of time? That seems a bit of a stretch. I know that these things are important.
Perhaps it is because I cling onto the comfort of thinking that I am unable to perform these simple and easy actions. I do not need to think about how to brush my teeth, how to exercise, how to clean my things, or how to write down my thoughts— and yet, I still find myself going towards thinking about them.
A simple example, while a bit silly, is brushing my teeth. I have really bad dental hygiene. Sometimes, when I do brush my teeth, a thought pops up in my mind: “You should do this more often.” And then I don’t!
I think I’m just too caught up in my own head.
