Laziness

Why are people lazy? What causes a person who claims to want to help the environment and recycle and do all these things so that we are protecting environment, but will drive around for 5 minutes looking for a car park close enough so they don't have to walk far? That doesn't make sense to me! So you do understand that by running your car for that extra 5 minutes is affecting the environment right?! Your car is blowing pollutants into the air and you would still rather not walk?! Shaking my head! I'd rather find a car park that is further away than drive around for 5 minutes looking for a closer park. Um, you do know that exercise is good for you right?! 

I have always enjoyed walking and just being out in the fresh air and it makes me feel really good after I have been for a walk. I don't power walk, I walk at a steady pace (lately it has been how fast my Staffy wants to pull me as she is learning how to walk at the moment) and I barely even break out in a sweat. As I have said before, I am not a large person, so walking is one way that I have helped keep my weight down. It feels good to get those endorphins pumping and I nearly always have a smile on my face after I have been for a walk. 

It isn't even just the walking and driving around that I am noticing people do. It is the minimal housework (some peoples houses are absolutely disgusting) and then wondering why their house looks or smells the way it does. How about you clean up after yourself and take pride in your home? I even had a friend recently wonder why I chose to wash dishes up because there was no dishwashing tablets. Um, because the dishes need to be done... 

It seems that in most aspects of peoples lives they are looking for the quickest and easiest way to do everything. I was taught that I have to work hard and that sometimes you have to roll up your sleeves and use a bit of elbow grease! That not everything you encounter will be easy and that you sometimes will have to take the hard road instead of the easy road.

One perfect example of laziness comes with food. All these drive-thru restaurants and the fact that food is so readily available, so many people don't even know how to cook. I don't like to cook, but instead of being lazy I cook nearly 95% of the time.

Do you consider yourself lazy or do you think you are active and on top of things? If you aren't lazy, what are somethings that lazy people do that drive you crazy? I'd love to hear your thoughts, so please leave a comment!

Observe Nature - Kmart Journal Entry

When did you last see the sunset or sunrise? When did you last go for a bushwalk? When did you last swim in the ocean? Describe these times. What's your favourite place in nature - why? Great questions Kmart Journal! Ha-Ha!  The last time that I watched a sunset or sunrise was the about three mornings when I woke up at 4:40am (not sleeping the best at the moment) and couldn't get back to sleep, so I did get to see the sunrise. It was also very peaceful and I find that now that I am waking up a bit earlier, that I am more productive with my day, especially in the mornings. I am going to try and start to get up earlier. I have always been a bit of a night owl, therefore I find it hard to get to bed early and end up sleeping in later.  I haven't been on a bush walk for quite some time, but I do try to walk my dog every day and I get to walk to the waterfront whenever I want!  I am not that fond of creepy crawlies, so I don't like to do many bush walks in case I see a creep...

Saying No - Kmart Journal Entry

How easy is it for you to say no? For myself, I struggle to say to nearly every single person that I come across in my life. I guess you would call me a people pleaser, who also says what she thinks.  I think that the BPD may play a bit of a part in that though.  Ever since I was a little girl I was taught that I should try and help others when I possibly can, even if it means giving the person my last dollar. I can say that doing this has f**ked me up financially more times than I can count! And I truly have tried extremely hard to help every single person that has asked me for help. But lately I am starting to feel like I am just a sucker when it comes to particular people and helping them. It seems like the friendships are very one sided and I seem to be the one always doing the work.  I do know that I have to learn to start saying no, and I am slowly doing it. I am noticing that I am not hearing from particular people, because I am saying no and not jumping to their e...
