Alive and Thriving: 26th November 2023: The Lies I Tell

I woke up reminiscing about the things not done which should be placed at the top of my list as top priority and almost forgot to be thankful for the things done.

I went for 8 am mass today being ‘Christ the King’ Sunday. Although I was meant to return by 12 pm for the procession, I slept through the afternoon instead.

Falling into the trap of reminiscing and not doing day in and day out is a reality that can only be escaped from through the conscious effort of doing it no matter how scary (the fear of failing at it rings).

I could even evade that most pressing and helpful task in the long run by doing others that come easy to me in order to justify yet another reason for not getting it done ‘today’ being the present.

_{A trick I play on my mind that seems to be losing face after several monthsof being at it.}

I tell myself, if only you had someone to remind you about it and push you to do it, will you do a great job.Even some of my friends affirm it. Yet another big lie that helps me sleep at night.

I am enough to remind myself. I have seen this play out when I wanted sewing for the first time with a manual sewing machine to an industrial one which felt most difficult because no one pressured me. Not to mention my introductory post here on Hive.

I can do it. And I sure will.
Right now in the dead of the night I will have a go at it, make all the flops I can summon because I know I always get better after my first trail of flops.

I was deeply encouraged after reading through the posts I reblogged on my page.
Thank you hiveans🥹💕🤩
