Liking what you're doing

Has anyone "given up" and tried liking whatever you're doing? If you're on PC, 23 hours a day like I am :-) just enjoying it? I sometimes feel like I'm putting off stuff by doing other stuff but I always get all my stuff done! So, why feel guilty or like one is avoiding instead of feeling like it's enjoyable to be doing what you're doing and just enjoy it! Clear as mud?

Have you the audacity to doubt my veracity or even to insinuate that I would contemplate such an insignificant subject as that?

Personal joke kids..........

I've tried liking doing dishes, but nope. It didn't work.

Hmmm.... interesting! I'm just trying to like being me but it's easier said than done.

But yes, in terms of spending hours here - I no longer feel guilty when I do - especially if my work is actually done. It's my selfish pleasure!

I gave up doing what I don't like and have someone else do it. Now I find that I like doing what I didn't like and like doing what I do do. ...

what if you do not know what you like?

As my T once pointed out to me; "I don't think anyone likes to clean toilets?"

I'm just tired of feeling like an avoider. I feel like I long for cake when I'm eating ice cream?

What if you do doo what you dont like and dont do doo what you do like because you dont like what you do but do doo it anyways?

Perna...I like watching movies, all kinds...blockbusters, foreign, documentaries, and even "no brainers!" So, what I"ve been doing lately, since some would consider this a "waste of time," is watch a segment, then get up and load the dishwasher, or make the bed, or switch the laundry (takng all of 5 minutes), and then back for another segment of movie. NOW, I've also added an exercise bike in front of the TV, and do that for a few minutes also, then rewarding myself with more cinema!

Anyone else's ....no .... but my own I don't mind .......... I clean it (and my faucets) twice a day - every day! Strange I know!

But you know what you DON'T like!

So what's wrong with having cake with your ice cream? Just remember, you can't have your cake and eat it, too.

:scratch_head: What do you do doo? Do you do doo in the morning or do you do doo at noon? Or do you do doo in the evening, or do you do doo all day long?

I only do do at night when it's "safe" and no one will "comment"

Two things you like to do, the one you "want" to do even more rewarding in the end than the other but you have "decided" you want to do one of them. That sets up an immediate "ain't gonna do it" just because it's been chosen. But, it is something I enjoy. However, since it's now "regulated" I go do the other unregulated, temporarily "bad" activity. It's silly.

hmm I am confused over the original question...

what i don't like to do i put off to do "later".. then when i get in the mood i do it. heck.. i don't even enjoy doing what i like to do. which means i don't do a much other than chasing puppy because he wants everything he can't have..

The original confusing question was why "regret" and feel like we're doing the "wrong" thing. Why not just do what we're doing with our whole heart and enjoy it :-)

oo ok...is a good question too... am thinking on it for now. tis a good idea to do whatever we are doing with our whole heart and enjoy it..

I will try to apply that thinking when I am grabbing the pooper scooper to clean up after puppy. dang, should i laugh or erase what i wrote..

The only thing I LOVE with all my heart and ENJOY doing is playing with my grandkids... namely my granddaughter!
