I have tried this every single year … and failed every single time. What makes me do it every year then? Habit I guess. Each resolution goes out of the window in quick succession within the first fortnight of the New Year … at least I am consistent. ‘Maybe next time’ is my usual refrain. You guessed right – ‘Stop Procrastinating’ is the topmost one in my list. I have wanted to write this for three days now, wanting to do a lot of things for many days, months, and some for even yearssss. Am so good at it I even postpone having to think sometimes.
Don’t get me wrong – am not proud of it. Am not proud of the excuses I make to myself every time I don’t do something when it needs to be done. I do realize that if I can tackle this faulty art form of mine, I will be able to get the rest of them fall in line too like wanting to lose weight. Well yeah..who doesn’t? But people who know me quite well know how torturous it is for me to “eat right”. In my dictionary, eating sensibly is synonymous with ‘breathing through an oxygen mask’. You are alive but barely. Am still not convinced I want a long innings filled with deprivation. Hats off to those who can… but seriously, what’s life without some sugar & spice?
