NEXT Action

Action has dual Personalities

Sometimes our brains act like they have two personalities. The angelic one gets all of those great ideas and wants to get ahead, complete tasks, redecorate the bedroom or prepare the perfect meal. My lofty goals make me feel as if there is a great future ahead full of non-stop excitement. The bad news is that my angelic side is a liar. It promises that I will do stuff just because I dreamed of it. The other personality is not angelic but not a full devil. More like a little lazy. But the other side has enough energy to step in front of me when it is time to accomplish all those grandiose plans I first came up with.

Action Turnaround

It is possible to adjust the lazy reaction to stuff I want to complete. Since it doesn’t show up until right when action is required, the lazy personality just creates a surprise bottleneck and creates disappointment. My angel didn’t tell me this was going to happen when it presented all those big goals. Maybe my angel isn’t so angelic after all. My little lazy side seems more truthful when I really compare them. It is more connected with my very efficient brain that just wants to conserve itself by laying low and not doing anything new.

Produce an Action

Sometimes not doing something is an actual action when it is by choice. But when I don’t do something I am supposed to do, it is easy to see it as a negative. It is best to review these kinds of tasks to see if a real choice was made and not just the usual default lazy way out. My radical way of moving away from selecting either decision is to pick up my lazy-ass thought and carry it with me and start doing what I originally planned. It is completely plausible to have two thoughts at the same time. I am strong enough to move with the dichotomy.

Keep Producing

Whether I accept or reject my previously conjured plan doesn’t really matter. Both choices are produced in the same silly brain. I don’t want to limit my thoughts to just those that I will definitely complete. That would be a great waste since the adventure really starts when I am able to connect with all of my thoughts. Even the crazy ones. Especially the crazy ones. I will just commit to carrying lots of thoughts and create a new thought weight-lifting plan that will result in my finding it easy to accept the not-so-angelic and the not-really-lazy ideas that I have. Every thought is acceptable and loved for its importance. So inclusive.

When is your brain laziest? Why do we get big ideas and then regret them later? Can you love all of your ideas?
