The other day, I found myself making excuses to myself as to why I didn't do something. I know why I didn't do it. So why the excuse? Then I got to thinking. If I'm making excuses to myself am I doing this to everyone else? This thinking could have lead me down into a dark spiral of self-pity and self-hatred but really both those feelings are another form of self-centeredness. And I was far too annoyed with myself to entertain them.
How much of my life have I been making excuses for? I keep putting things off and justifying my reasons. This blog for one. My husband actually had to stop me from cleaning to sit down and write it. Surely the laundry was more important...
I never put off getting my hair done, shopping, or eating a meal. Perhaps my priorities are out of order. Speaking of putting things off...I haven't even thought about dinner.
So, how do we end bad habits and faulty thinking patterns?
Any thoughts?
