I am currently reading three books:
one on history and perception the anglo underclass in America
the autobiography of the current Dalai Lama
a workbook on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
For some reason, the only one I seem inclined to read is the first.
I don't know if that's because the other two are, on varying levels about self-work.
and I'm lazy.
although, before I finished it, I was more inclined to read the Binti series...
I fully admit it might have to do with the comfort of escapism...
but I also have this thing about finishing prose. I think one of the reasons I used to not read is because I didn't like the time investment in following a novel through to the end.
AND there was that short-attention-span/wondering focus thing that was once even worse than it is now.
It is something I have already discovered, but I appear to be one of those that needs a hand held through therapy.
Moral:
if there is something you don't want to do, find something that is a more extreme degree of whatever you don't want to do, tell yourself you have to do THAT...then maybe you'll feel like doing the other thing.
And by "you",
i mean mE.
