Not Thinking
blogI am very happy at the moment. My ideal life is not that far from my actual life. I have been doing yoga every morning, spanish every day, I am mindful. To what can I attribute this success?
It comes, I think, from not thinking. It is thinking that gets you into trouble, because when you think you rationalise and when you rationalise you start finding reasons for not doing things.
You might think ‘why bother doing yoga when I can stay in bed?’. In the same way, you might think that you might as well just take the bike rather than walking. It is the path of least resistance.
This does not mean that you shouldn’t ever think. It is that when you think you should just think, rather than have low-level thinking going on at the back of your mind all the time. Just do the occasional review to ensure that you know what it all means.
If you want to succeed, just do the thing, don’t think yourself out of doing it.
