Ok. We all make bad decisions. everyday. Its just that sometimes a bad decision maybe followed by another few can be costly for years and years. I'm not talking about something as heavy as a bad marriage necessarily. Could be an impulse purchase. Could be a choice of which way to drive home.
I've noticed something happens when you finally begin to accept you made a terrible decision.
Nothing.
What I'm saying is that there is a malaise and an indifference to getting off the couch that can set in when you begin to finally accept what a bad choice you made. You didn't HAVE to go into business with that person. You didn't HAVE to make that call or write that email. But, with or without consideration or counsel you did. And after the period of time (it could be years) when you have thrashed enough about trying to prove that you did NOT make a mistake, you give up a bit, for a while.
and that is so often when you find it difficult to move forward. The inability to push out of the rut. I suppose it could rightly be linked to depression, but even when you aren't clinically depressed, you feel stuck.
so you read the sports sites or gossip sites a lot longer than you need to. you play solitaire. it becomes like worry beads for you, except you really have checked your mind out also.
This is not good. you need to get up and go - just more carefully mabye. Maybe the slowdown is your mind's way of saying "hey, last time I let you do something, you screwed up!".
I don't know. I know I wrote this blog today so I could avoid working to solve my other problems, just for a little bit.
