Things I want to stop doing

1. Procrastinating

Instead of undertaking valuable and meaningful action

2. Judging others by my own narrow perceptions

Instead see the world through the perspective of others

3. Deferring making a decision

This caused by a lack of confidence and feat of making the wrong decision instead nothing gets done

4. Not focusing on a subject, flitting between shiny objects

I end up being a master of nothing and have no specialism just a mediocre broad knowledge

5. Choosing comfort over the uncertainty of curiosity

This can be deferring any type of exercise or challenge instead of getting out of my comfort zone

6. Being overwhelmed when faced with complexity

It appears to be a default panicking not being able to think clearly

7. Thinking of the past or future instead of being on the present

Guilty of time traveling instead of planting my feet on the ground taking a deep breath and being in the here and now

8. Going back on my word

Sometimes it's easier to backsilde than being true to my word

9. Telling lies falsehoods to protect my ego

maybe it's a fear of being vulnerable

10. Being negative seeing the downside

Even finding neutral would be a start

Hi Kris

I love comedy improv and bought the Upright Citizen's Brigade comedy improvisation mannal but instead of reading through the book and carrying out the excercises I bought several other books on the subject and have half read them as well. In improv terms instead of digging the one hole for the well I have half dig several

Oh that's interesting. What is the book about if you don't mind?

Hi Chris

Apologies for not getting back to you the book runs through the comedy improvisation techniques of the UCB Upright Citizens Brigade. Which mainly looks at Game of the Scene which is based on relationships between improvisers rather than plot and characters. Its an awesome book but rather dive deep down on it and utilise it in the improvisation workshops I attend . At the Time I read it half way and moved on to other books.

Oh I see! Sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I think everyone has this problem (list #7). Some people are not living the present. When you are younger, you think about the future and when you are older, you think about the missed times and the past. It is just difficult. What do you think?

Hi Chantelle I would agree, regret often stops me from enjoying the moment My next task is to employ the right strategies to stop or reduce these 10 things
