Checking is a habit that you can never fully eliminate. I still follow the NBA because I like
it. Pick only 1 or 2 “checking” vices you actually like. Eliminate the rest. You’re not
missing anything anyway.
Escaping Life
Until two years ago, every time I’d get stressed out, I said stuff like: “I need a drink.” Or:
“I have to go on a vacation.”
And when I had issues at work or in my relationship that became too much to handle, I
preferred to pretend they didn’t exist. Sometimes I would take some time to talk about
it. But there are always deeper issues at play. Back then I didn’t like my job, relationship,
and the city I lived in. I basically didn’t like my life.
Did I change it? Nope. I always tried to escape my issues. Escaping problems gives you
some stamina to face your shitty life again. But you and I both know that problems never
go away until you grab them by the root and extinguish them. I learned that the hard
way. These days I deal with problems before they become big problems.
Saying Yes
Most people are afraid to say no. Maybe you don’t want to let people down. Maybe you
are uncomfortable with the word no. I don’t know. Doesn’t matter, really. What matters
is this: If you keep saying yes, you’re living someone else’s life.
Think about it. Deep down, we all know that it’s true. We’re not even in control of our
own time. Want to be in full control of your life? Say no to a million things and yes to a
few things that matter.
