Happy to be doing it

This was an idea that came up while talking to my cousins in Houston...probably in the context of parenting...but it applies even if you're not doing the something for someone else. If I can change how I feel about something so that I'm happy to be doing it, this can really shift things.

For me and my problems with getting obsessive about not wasting time and always putting pressure on myself to do things efficiently, there comes with that a wanting to minimize times when I could be doing "something better." But, if instead I change how I feel about things so that I'm happy to be doing it, then there won't be so much pressure to just get something dealt with in the minimum time possible.

clunky - hampers me, gets in the way vs. EFFECTIVE

Don't have to figure it out completely
if it's interfering
if it's getting in my way
then I need to stop doing it

Don't worry about deciding whether or not some things are healthy or what not
if I'm finding that it hampers me
then don't indulge in doing it

What can I do to help me thrive?

Increased vitality or increased suffering?
When I see myself at a point where I can make choices, which choices do I make?

I can make choices that enrich my life, help me grow, improve my relationships with myself and others.
