so I have decided to keep a blog of some thoughts and ideas that pop into my head. I’m quite a lazy person and want to change this aspect of my personality. I really want to become a more productive person. I need to set goals and ensure I reach them.
I sometimes find that I start doing lots of different things but rarely finish any of them. I guess the easy part is starting while seeing a project through to the end is where the real hard work is. Doubts are always plaguing my mind when it comes to new projects.
You start something off and think its going quite well only for nagging doubts to appear. I like to think of this as the critical mind vs the creative mind.
I find that the critical mind can often beat the creative mind into submission until it gives up and resumes normal service.
So the question is how to block out these negative thoughts and forge ahead with what you were doing. Its not easy that’s for sure. You need to have a lot of self belief to keep going and finish what you started. Perhaps that’s something that holds a lot of people back.
Taking risks is certainly not something that is natural. Most of us prefer to play it safe and see how things go. We need to hold on to what we have cant simply just ignore the critical mind.
