As everyone in life I have things that I like to put off or if its extreme -like talking to a girl that I like- sometimes just not do it at all. This is really bad as I have learned by actually talking to this person every once in a while. Alot of the time people who put these types of things off should really just count to three, then do it, this helps alot as it stops you from over thinking things like I do. Now I will talk about things that people put off everyday:
1. Talking to pretty girls
Everyone does this at some point of the day especially if you have feelings for this person. You could be standing across the room from them but all you would do is awkwardly stare at them for an hour and not actually end up saying a word to them. This could be avoided by actually just going up to her. Don't over think the situation just walk up to her and say hello, ask her about how she is, whats been going on in her life and if you run out of topics just look around for one.
2.Pursuing Your Dreams
This one isn't as common but can be very bad for you if this happens to you. Sometimes when someone has a 'dream' or life goal that they think their friends or people in their class may find stupid, funny or just unobtainable then people will put aside these dreams and go on a different life course.
This happened to me during year 8. In year 8 I was totally unfocused and quite rude and disrupting really but I wanted to be an Astrophysicist. When I told someone about this they just laughed and I acted like it was a joke. So I never told anyone else until about halfway through year 9 after I became top of the class in my Sciences and people asked me what I wanted to do. I regret ever keeping this back as people could have helped me get back on track quicker than it took me to.
My advice is never to keep your dreams back, if you have dreams never keep them quiet, always tell people so they can help you.
3. Standing Up For Yourself
This is probably one of the biggest things in adulthood and childhood. Alot of the time people just act like it's just a bit of banter and play but the other people around you can always see if it's meant to be spiteful or not but they will never tell you. Always look out for yourself and for your friends as you or they may be getting bullied but maybe not even realizing it.
If you do realize it then don't try to tuck it away inside let it out, tell someone, doesn't have to be an adult but maybe a friend so they can stand up to this person next time they do something like this. Bullying is not nice at all and personally it disgusts me when someone is getting bullied and they pretend like it's not happening because they bully gets away with it.
Even in adulthood you can get bullied by your work colleagues and sometimes even your bosses. Even though this is a rarer occurrence it still helps to be open about these things, tell your superiors and get these people seen to so they don't bother you or anyone else again.
Don’t Regret It, Instead Do It
There is never enough time to do it all.Stop putting these things off today.
Do what you need to do. And what you have been meaning to do.
You might not get another chance.
Question: What’s on your list? What are you putting off?
Thank-You for reading this week and hope you enjoyed!
