I'm a fool to myself. Saturday is the only day I can really get down to 'work' - writing, that is. At weekends I am totally alone - no S to cook for me; no B to get in my hair. It should be wrting all the way.
I swore I wouldn't mention writing in this blog - there are two others for that.
But this is about procrastination really. I have been trying to get before that keyboard since nine this morning and here I am 11.20 am blogging.
I procrastinate in settling those bills that should be settled straight away ( maybe I hate parting with money). I put off writing letters; making that important telephone call, renewing medication prescriptions. I should get my hair cut - I put off making an appointment.
Am I lazy? What am I waiting for?
Take Christmas. I leave sending out my cards until the last possible minute. Why? I'm only creating stress for myself. Maybe deep down I like stress.
Oh, by the way, for years I have had a little mantra which I made up and which I say to myself from time to time, and the other day watching a science program on the nature of the universe on TV a physicist spoke two lines from it. It woke me up to the realisation that my thought processes are not unique as I had so fondly believed.
Here is the mantra.
I am One with the universe
The universe is One with me
I am within the universe
The universe is within me
All that is within the universe
Is One with me
That physicist actually said: I am One with the universe, the universe is One with me.
Now, I really believe it!
