Progress Reports

Can Laziness show up on progress reports? Or Do you think naturally repeating daily activities promotes Zero change to progress reports?

I get so immune to working and driving that I'm literally surprised that i have arrived somewhere and feel so incredibly oblivious to everything around me. Realizing that I've lowered my alertness due to comfort, I recently decided to read every sign i see on the road. Yeah, meaning becoming somewhat of a dork, and give kudos to Names of businesses that took some creativity to come up with. Like for an example, i passed one that said "Xtreme Smiles!" know who can pass that sign w/o smiling? Hahha. Yes that was the name for a dental clinic.

Everyday, even w/o an actual grade sheet you need to give yourself a truthful critic. Yes, it's not really about weather or not you got things do or not, but whether or not you were living in the moment. Most people don't know what it means to live in the moment. More so people tend to live in the future or dwell on the past.

This is why mental progress reports are important. limit yourself with "i will......." n "I've already...." thoughts. These thoughts will keep you from moving forward. Instead, use "i am...." thoughts.

You can use my suggestion in any part of the day. I'll even give you a simple example you can try n relate to. Notice Saturday was my last blog. That night i was actually planning on writing another when i got home from work, no excuses. What happened instead? I stayed out late for Karaoke, and by the time i returned home, blogging was pretty much the last thing on my mind.

Monday morning, i woke up, all i could think was about blogging, by nightfall i came up with so many excuses i forgot who i was making the excuses for. I was saying things to myself like, "I will write it when i get home. I will write it tomorrow. I've already wrote 3. I've already got one comment. i... " And the excuses go on...

Tuesday morning, i repeated Monday with utter distress. Don't get me wrong, life flew by, i took care of business. I even upgraded Criscreams with some armor and a cpl Badges of Justice from running Karazhan, and some Spirit shards from running Slabs. I also did 10 games in my Arena 5v5 n 2v2 teams, and did my BG Daily along w/ a few battles in a pug premade.

If you couldn't understand my gaming jargon, it's okay, don't worry, all it meant was that i was spending every waking hour playing my favorite game, the World of Warcraft and not blogging like i wanted to.

Now it's Wednesday, i checked my blog, n told myself, "I am writing a blog right Now!"

*Smiles*

See how easy that was.

If i never gave myself a mental progress report, how long do u think my laziness would overcome me? Forever probably. *laughs*

So, yeah check yourself from time to time, it's helps.

Until Next Time,
Cris
