Pandora's Box 3

Yes I'm late.  I told you.  It doesn't matter because about 3 people per week will read this blog.  This week, I will discuss enjoyment.

Vacation was almost over.  I ended up at my friend's house at 7 in the morning and we were waiting to go to Disneyland (which is far too expensive by the way).  With about 15 hours left of actual freedom, I began to worry.  It was sad, especially because I was supposed to enjoy myself.  But a minute later, I was fine.

I started by finding out what I was afraid of.
-I was afraid that I wouldn't enjoy myself enough on the last day.
-I know I probably failed something and school would remind me of that.
Then I found what I wanted to feel.
-Neither of those.
Then I found what caused those.
-Worrying
-A fear of failure/school

So I did this: I could solve both by solving the second, and since school was inevitable I simply ignored it.  I didn't let go of it, but I just decided to live the moment.

Procrastination is healthy sometimes.

And it's simple.  It's not living for the moment.  It's living the moment.
