To be and do less

What could you do less of?

Almost feels like the prompts lately are trying to gear us up for the new year, and resolutions. Reflection, brainstorming, and goal setting.

Well, there are plenty of things I could “do less of”. Let’s make another list, because apparently I like those!

  • Less procrastinating
  • Less drinking soda/pop
  • Less overeating
  • Less giving in to feelings of self-doubt/imposter syndrome
  • Less eating fast food
  • Less spending money on things I want but don’t need (like Magic cards. Murders at Karlov Manor is looking good so far, damnit Hasbro/WotC!)
  • Less making excuses to get out of doing healthy things or making healthy habits.

This list is not exhaustive, by any means, but these are the things that came to mind as I was driving to work this morning. A lot of these things are bad habits that I would need to work on, but I’m taking on one at a time. That one smack in the middle is important to me right now and is why I’ve been writing so often. I need to do less self-doubting and actually DO things that I say I want to do. Like NaNoWriMo, and getting a novel written (and eventually published, fingers crossed!)

23 days until the new year. 23 more days of writing for the year. 23 days and beyond to keep up the fight against self-doubt.
