I’m amazed by how much we keep getting in our own way sometimes.
It’s as if there’s a little gremlin in our heads that sets us up to fail, constantly undermining us and taking any excuse to help us procrastinate. One of the things I’ve learned from practicing meditation is that it’s possible to turn that gremlin to your advantage.
It’s like Tai Chi, you use it’s force against it, in meditation you use the fact your mind is wandering to remind you “Hang on, I should focusing!”. So, why not use the fact your gremlin is acting up to remind you that generally, you’re a lot more capable than you give yourself credit for?

I am totally with you on the gremlin thing - it can be hard not to get annoyed with it - but when you realise that you are off with the faeries instead of focussing it is good to remember that AT LEAST YOU KNOW IT!
Anyway, I linked to your blog - keep it up.
Oh and I like to tell people what the word verification code I will have to type to comment is:
