What would you like to do or things you need to do that are hard for you?
By “hard” I mean for me physically difficult, requires entrenched habit changes, having to learn how to do something far out of my comfort zone or find the right person to hire, it is terribly boring and/or repetitive, or I would just rather not do it so keep procrastinating. I’m sure needing to make big decisions without enough knowledge is in there too.
So there you have a summary of my preferences and what I resist doing.
- I can identify issues and solutions easily, create a detailed action plan to address it and then don’t like slogging through the steps to implement it.
- I am very clear on what I need to do to achieve the changes I want but I’d rather read a book while snacking on carbs and drinking coffee or wine.
- I am quite confident except when it comes to my physical abilities and strength or having to network to find the right person to do something.
- I have a lot of knowledge and expertise most of which I don’t use in retirement and I find being a clumsy beginner very hard.
- Variety and thinking brings me joy; repetition or mindless tasks are a struggle mostly.
- And I’ve developed unhelpful habits that are enjoyable - like many people.
I have done all the things I need to do to do the hard things and I’ve made up my mind to push through my resistance and get those things done so I can enjoy the outcomes.
I’ve got quite a list of outcomes I’d like to achieve that require me to do “hard” for me stuff! Everything from deep cleaning (dislike it intensely ) to getting strong physically (major habit change and consistent effort) to finding a friend group to getting projects done around the house. There’s more but I won’t bore you with my long list.
Let’s get started.
