Irrational Beliefs

It is amazing that I am on a 10-day streak, not for the good things but for not so good things such as skipping writing blogs for just 5 minutes everyday. Unlike last month where we posted 22 articles, this is only the 10th post of the month while February will ends in two days. Ironically, this post is still something to celebrate as it is the 200th post since we began to write this blog.

The theme in the past 10 days revolved around my irrational beliefs. Although I have managed to somewhat control my anxiety, there are other irrational beliefs that I nurture. One is on procrastination while I somehow believe that last minute works better than a small efforts over a long period of time. Second is on giving feedback or mentoring where it turned out that I had many hidden expectations on my mentees. Third is again on my godlike demands to myself where I keep adding my load without remembering that I am just a human who can be tired and need rest. A medical certificate two days ago due to diarrhoea and a sleepy encounter yesteday evening were good reminders that I spent more time creating new inputs of my to-do list instead of clearing the existing tasks at hand.

Well, as the Now Habit book mentioned, it is not fruitful to analyze what has happened. The more important thing is what would I do from now on.

Thanks to my wife for encouraging me to start writing. May I continue to write more regularly this year :).
