Procrastinator...

Some people are travelers by nature. Others more stay at home people. I'm not in one of those categories. I want to explore and travel, but I am scared. Scared to take this on alone. I love people around me, people I know and trust. So if this sounds familiar to you....keep reading!

I awoke this Sunday morning and saw on our little family whatsapp group, that my sister and my "almost sister in law" move into their apartments. Both of their happy little families in their own cozy home. And I love moving. Usually i'm always the one doing all of the unpacking and organizing. Seeing them so happy, made me feel motivated to actually go and do something today.

I have been in the UK for almost two weeks now. And all I have seen here, are the local parks, the local mall and the train station - which I haven't used yet, because I only walk past there on my way to the Lakeside Mall. It kind of sounds a little pathetic to me. Maybe pathetic is a strong word, but that's how I feel about it at the moment.

Long story short.......I decided today, feeling motivated and adventurous and all......to explore a little farther. Get out of my comfort zone! And I'm afraid, since waking up this morning and having tea and a biscuit, most of those feelings have almost gone. I think I gave it too much thought. All the excitement is over.

Oh, reader, I hope you have been through this as well. Do you know how it feels to be so excited for something to happen, but then you find out it was just a quick passing want, influenced by the mood you were in? I personally have experienced that more than once. For example:

waking up in the morning, feeling all fresh because you had a great night's sleep. And then you decide -feeling excited and all- to have a healthy breakfast, catch up on work (in the house or outside), then maybe exercise.

So you go down for a nice breakfast, and you see all the other UNHEALTHY food. And you choose that instead. And after you have had your breakfast -your mood changes- and you rather choose to watch series for the rest of the day. Big whoop!

Okay Okay....it's not just a made up story, it happened to me. More than once. And I believe it happened some time with you too. In other scenarios as well.

But we can't let a change in our mood affect our plans. Because then we just procrastinate and let another great opportunity slip through our fingers. And I don't want to be that person. Not anymore. So I am going to charge my phone, get ready and just jump on a train. Even if a movie and hot chocolate does sound great.
