No Excuses
Being sober and having time to my name is leaving me with no excuses.
When I was still in my drinking habits, I had a lot of comfortable excuses to choose from.
Today I am hungover was one of my favorites. I could just lay there and do a bunch of nothing. Just sweating and enjoying the self indulged pain.
Then there were friends which I had to meet. Of course, I had to drink when I was with them. It was not possible for me to do something productive on that evening or the other day. It was often the fault of these friends, so I thought, and not mine.
There were a lot of events that I happily accepted just to not work on my goals or myself. Sure, it is important to meet friends and stay social active or relax. But I think we all know exactly if we are hiding away or enjoying ourselves for some done work. The inner voice will tell us if we are on the right path.
Now that I am sober, I don’t have all this comfortable excuses anymore. I also ditched a lot of drinking buddies. It feels a bit scary to be honest, and sometimes I think I could be a little lonely. Still, I feel that it was the right decision.
Now, there are no reasons for me to not get some work done and move in a good direction. Only procrastination and resistance can hold me back.
As you may know, I am trying to learn something new to get a better work-life and better chances. With no excuses left, I do put some pressure on myself, which feels like a burden from time to time.
For example, I am coding two hours as a minimum every day. But I could also do four hours, right? When I have done four hours, I could also do six hours?
That’s a bad cycle to be in, I have to force myself to enjoy the process and be happy with what I have accomplished last year.
That’s it for today guys, enjoy yourselves and your process. Have a nice weekend!
