SomedayDreamer Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Day 8, the happy feeling I had yesterday was indeed a one-off deal and today el sucko mucho. I'm not physically tired anymore but feeling sooooooo gotdam lazy and the house was looking like a tornado went through a refugee camp- no motivation at all to pick it up. But once I got up and started just doing it, it wasn't so hard to get through it. No fun of course, but it got done without me waiting for a sense of motivation to kick in and get me started. I realized (for today anyway) that it is true-- motivation follows action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel completely overwhelmed staring down the massive piles of work and other things procrastinated --like everything important. MFA is a great mantra!

Well, thank you Sky. It's kinda cool that today (day 9) I can finally feel like I "own" my quit now because this woulda otherwise been refill day- and by now, I would've been cracked-out on my second pack of cigs, pacing room to room yet still would not get any real shizz done anyway..haha Lea, I'm right here with ya 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
