If after reading the first few paragraphs you feel like your name is missing to be filled, continue reading because this is probably about you. Many people can advise you what to do, and you can hear and sometimes even consider the advice, but deep down you’ve already made your decision.
1. “Can I try yours?”
It’s time to place your order for the dinner you’re having with colleagues. By the time the waiter arrives, you’re still debating whether to order the very same burgers you always get or the day’s special dish. Your friend sitting next to you is eating that hamburger, so you choose to get the same hamburger.
It’s mealtime! In order to stop salivating over the delicious hamburger next to you, you order a corn soup and salad.
My guy experiences this regularly. He always gets the barbecue hamburger when we go to Chillis, but when he chooses to experiment, he wishes he had my dish and finishes off all of my fries.
2. “5 more minutes”
One of its most difficult tasks of the day is waking up on the weekends. You commit yourself the night before to have a good night’s sleep and to go jogging the next morning so that you will have enough time to attend to other important matters, get them done quickly, and have some downtime. You decide to get another 30 minutes of sleep after 9 am. The decision to get up or wait another five minutes is still made at ten in the morning.
When I lived in Mexico, getting up and exercising was a breeze for me, but ever since I started traveling, it has been a big hassle. While I make an effort to jog as much as possible, the weather can occasionally be against me. Try to identify what inspires you and makes you feel your inner strength if this is one of your issues. You can easily start exercising five days a week if you try the first one once a week, twice a week, and so on.
3. “What should I do?”
Your pals always tell you they’ll do the opposite now that you’re the hothead of the group whenever they ask for advice, even about silly stuff like what to dress. When someone comments that, you may feel upset, but you know they are making the right decision by disregarding your counsel.
There’s always that one friend who wants to do something extremely stupid, and you are the encouraging voice in his head whispering, “Do it,” behind his back. Because of this, having pleasure based on minimal overthinking may or may not become a story you tell your children as you age.
4. “It’s now or never”
You have no patience. You must act quickly if something pops into your head, even if it means employing complex maneuvers or using skills you weren’t aware you possessed. You frequently let the joy of the moment guide your decision-making, and you may be extremely determined about it, but you also wind up regretting the majority of your decisions as a result.
5. “Everybody is the same”
After meeting someone new, this is one of the defenses most poor decision-makers adopt. After a few dates, you decide to give it your all, ignoring the allure of the hunt and believing another individual might feel the same way about you. This just causes them to lose interest, and you end up “heartbroken” because you believe they were merely playing a trick on you. The next time, you make a promise to yourself that you’ll take it easy, and you attempt to tell yourself that you’ve learned from this experience, but in the end, you keep returning to your old habits and
But one of my girlfriends, for instance, has been using Tinder extensively since we first met. When she chooses to go on a date, she complains to me about how she keeps swiping right to unattractive men.
6. “Hip hip hooray!”
So when one of your choices or pieces of advice results in a positive outcome, of course. You refer to it as crazy and bring it up whenever you can to convince your friends or anyone else who doesn’t believe you that it was, yet again, a bad idea.
This encourages you to listen to your inner guidance during the subsequent obstacle and boosts your disposition. Go on; you can accomplish anything you set your mind to, even if it’s epic intoxication despite your last weekend’s vow that it wouldn’t.
When I was first considering traveling alone, I only told a select number of my friends about my intentions, and the majority of the aircraft tickets were purchased in the haste and excitement of needing to leave as soon as possible and without giving it any thought.
The bottom line.
You sometimes feel as like you are experiencing a run of bad luck, and you have even tried blaming other people, the elements, or fate; nevertheless, when you reflect on your thoughts and the impulses that drove you to carry on, you realize that it was all your fault.
There are many things you would like to do differently, but there are many others that you would do the same without any remorse at all. All of these poor mistakes had lead you to great adventures, meeting new people that come and go of your life for the right or wrong reasons.
To prevent getting into problems again, you may always make a change in your behavior and begin improving yourself, but while you continue to make bad decisions in life, please make an effort to at least have fun. I’m sure you have plenty of awkward stories that can make more than one person laugh. Please leave a comment explaining how you can connect if you’d like to share one of your experiences with me.
