BlsdMama Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 So, if there is that one thing that would improve your life... What prevents you from doing it and/or working towards it as an immediate goal? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlsdMama Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 My one thing was getting rid of internet (and therefore television via streaming...) What stops me is laziness and convenience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginevra Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 For me, it's laziness or lack of dedication to my goal(s). My "one thing" is to structure my open time better (which by definition means not wasting hours on the internet). It's by comparison harder to look ahead in my day and intentionally decide how I'm going to utilize my time than it is to just do the "must do" things and then fritter away the open time. Oftentimes, if I go do something, such as go over dh's office and work a while, I come home feeling like relaxing, saying I deserve to chill for a bit. Which may be true and okay and necessary for mental health, but I believe I ought to commit to "relaxing" only for a specific, intentional amount of time and then when that time is up, I need to go do my other tasks.

Happy Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I'm way better at disciplining myself than I used to be....still I'd rather lay around, read, and eat Oreo's and drink Dr Pepper. None of those (except maybe reading) will get me where I want to be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassy Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Time. No time to exercise. No time to be alone as much as I need. Time has run out for me to have any more babies. I remember when I was in my twenties a young friend telling me why she didn't devote as much time as I did to her career, she preferred spending time with her baby daughter, "You can always make more money" she told me, "you can never make more time". So true. And now I'm wasting time on my computer, it seems. Cassy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 One problem can't be solved because I just don't know how. The others can't be solved because I can't control the prerequisites. Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee in NC Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 My one thing was getting rid of internet (and therefore television via streaming...) What stops me is laziness and convenience. :iagree: In fairness, though, we went with internet because it was so inconvenient to live without when everyone just assumes that you have it. I kept having to run up to the library all the time to look for emails, check directions, etc. Now I just need to develop some self-control and stay off of this board!:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyJudyJudy Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Decreasing my severe chemical sensitivities would greatly improve my life (and, in turn, my family's). Insufficient money for treatment is what keeps me from doing this. Edited July 22, 2011 by JudyJudyJudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
