Some Thoughts on the Limits of the Human Form

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Today was not a productive day. It all started with having to help my Mom with flower deliveries. I didn’t get home until about 2 PM. Then, I was unusually tired, and I wasn’t sure why. It could have been from trying to wake up early the last two days. Who knows. Oh yeah… I also had a slight headache.

This got me thinking about our limitations. When you’re tired, you’re tired. Yeah… I know I just repeated myself there, but trust me, I have a point! Your will power and motivation just seeps away when you are tired. You could work through it, but you would need a considerable motivating factor.

For most people, this would be the fear of getting fired on the job. For me, it’s a different story. I’m my own boss.

So the question is?

If my body says no, but my mind says yes, what do I do? When is it ok to listen to my body and just relax and when do I just push through it because it has to be done. I guess it really depends on the situation, but this is something you deal with when you are by yourself. It’s interesting.

I find myself trying to use tricks to motivate myself. I gave my parents a rent/expenses payment of $650 a month. This would be huge motivation because the worst thing I want to do is fail and have to rely on my parents. I do have cash on hand, which isn’t exactly mine. Let’s just say I have until January to pay it off. However, I had a big problem. My Mom had no problem taking my check, which says a lot about her :). However, my dad refused the money. Interesting… but I knew he would do it.

My Dad is too nice yet sometimes he has very strong opinions. I know deep down he wants me to get a job like he did for oh so many years, but that’s not gonna happen. Well… it leaves me to think of other ideas to remind myself to stay focused.

Let’s brainstorm some ideas…

Print pictures of starving children from around the world - Personally, this would probably be a really good idea since I’m so… not sure what the word is.

Completely avoid going to any irrelevant websites - That means you… tube…digg…facebook…yeah…
Setup an elaborate contraption that somehow knows I’m slacking and sends a surge of electricity to my body - not sure I’d ever finish building this contraption
Listen to Tony Robbins whenever I’m slacking - This might actually work! I may start trying to motivating my dogs into becoming more efficient at going for walks

Look at me… I’m trying to be a jokester and clearly going off topic… oh yeah… I promised you a new website today… well… sorry… maybe… tomorrow… I… promise… dot dot dot…

I’m a little delirious. I hope I don’t rub off on ya.

P.S. That was one of my screen names when I used to play CS. Yeah… I know… I’m so cool. And… I don’t feel like checking my grammar and spelling, so deal with it!
