Good morning everybody!

This morning I feel really OK! I had time to read in the book yesterday before bedtime. As told, I cannot identify with the idea of "procrastination". I have done so much in my life, raised children at the same time as I was a student. I have had a really demanding job. I have welcomed my grandchildren and kissed them goodbye when it was their time to become students. I have done the housework for hours once a week, when I worked. I exercised every morning and went for hiking every Sunday (even when I was depressed). I forced myself to be in the here and now.

It has been almost impossible to understand why I have become a "procrastinator" in my old days. I do not use a therapist now, but when I had one, the therapist told me that this "frozen posture" was because of anxiety. OK, so may be it is anxiety, but how do I treat that anxiety?How do I get rid of it?

Well, that is what I hope this book will teach me. So far it has told me about depression and the difficulty to start doing "things" because of low energy. I knew this from before. I have had real reasons to become depressed. Some "happenings" made me so. But why this "freezing posture" when it comes to doing things in the house now? Here the book comes in and talks about, of all things, HABITS. The author relates it to the brain's functions. That is understandable and gives me hope. A habit can always be broken if one finds the right tools to do so. Next chapter is about what anxiety does to the brain. I look forward to read (and do) it.

For now I have to do some cleaning before I go for the appointment with the doctor.

May you all feel that what you are able to do is OK (either little or much)!
