Not doing stuff

I haven' t blogged in a while. I just haven't done it. I realized that I wasn't blogging on any kind of regular basis, I thought some days I might do it...but yet I never seemed to get around to it. I write most everyday too, you'd think it would have been easy. Nah, just did not do it.

Come to think of it I'm good at not doing things, sometimes too good. I can not do projects with the best. I'm gonna try to pick it up though, ...most likely, probably, I guess.

Ever consider what is your thing you like not to do the most? What is the task you put off constantly, it's almost automatic. You think of it and go....I'll do that later, maybe tomorrow
or next week. Isn't it great when there's a holiday and you can say ...I'll get on that after the holiday, yeah then!

I like the sign that says Do Not Enter. It means simply you cannot go in that way. They never tell you what will happen if you do choose to enter but you still do not enter.

I once saw a Not for Sale sign. Can't be much call for that huh? How many things can you think of you'd need to put a Not for Sale sign on. Is there that many people in this world that ask ...is that for sale that much?!
This Not for Sale sign was on an old automobile. Apparently the owner had been asked so many times if his piece of crap car was for sale that he felt the need to put the sign on the car.

It's hard not to do stuff. People are always asking you what you're doing. You end up doing stuff. You just can't NOT do stuff. Proof positive is the fact that I'm blogging again and not putting it off.

Beliefs, permanent records...and self help.

Do you have beliefs you follow that you don't know exactly how they got into your psyche? They're little bits of knowledge that you learned though somebody or spiritually or somethin'. Is it possible there is a little belief fairy that whispers in our ears when we're asleep? Maybe we were listening to our parents after all even though we were trying desperately to ignore them? However these little tiny gray matter beliefs get into our conciousness and thrive. I have them- most people do.

They can be about the smallest strangest things too. 'Don't wet your toothbrush before you start brushing'-anybody have that belief? Is it right? Is this for real? What happens if I do wet my toothbrush before brushing? Will the dentist know? Will this go down in my permanent record?!! Oh god not the book of guilt where all my mistakes are written and will be exposed to everybody one day?!! How many people had that belief? I did. I dropped it somewhere in college...I believe.

'Never speak ill of the dead'-that was a commandment belief in my family. I broke it on more than one occasion. If somebody was terrible or evil in their life I wouldn't go out of my way but if pushed I would say what I really thought of them. I figure it can't get much worse for them...they're dead. Of course some people believe that it can get much worse in the afterlife.

Ever thought of these beliefs before? It's a great way to explore yourself and absolutely a necessary thing to do if you're a writer or perfomer. My guess is beliefs are powerful landmines of conciousness that are true for the most part only because of history. Truth through repetition!

Here's my thinking...if beliefs are so strong what if we placed our own positive beliefs in our conciousness now would it help later? Sounds possible doesnt' it? Maybe we could rewrite our permanent record to the more positive side?! Hmmmm...I may have to light some incense and meditate on this a while. I must be on to something -my mood ring is showing calm. Always a good sign- I believe.
peace
