So this may come as a shock, but I am actually human. And being human I have several bad habits that I wish I could break. Most of these I’ve had for a long time and have tried kicking them in the past, only to fall right back into them.
· Nail Biting. For as long as I can remember, whenever I get nervous or anxious I tend to bite my nails. Not sure how this became my coping mechanism, but no matter what I do I always seem to revert to it when the chips are down.
· Epic Procrastination. I know we all tend to do this from time to time, but I can sometimes take it to another level. Often I’ll put things off for long periods of time, even when I know I should do them for fear of forgetting (see below). Most of the time the things I put off are those that I don’t want to do. Examples include: doing the dishes, paying bills, cleaning, work (I’m doing this right now), and making decisions.
· Fast Food. I eat out…a lot. And when I do, I usually don’t hold back. My favorite food of all time and forever is pepperoni pizza. I would literally wear a suit of it if I didn’t think I’d be naked within an hour. I know it’s not healthy and that I’m likely hastening my way to the grave, but I just can’t seem to stop. It’s a wonder I don’t weigh 500 lbs.
· Memory. Ok, so at first blush this might not sound like a habit per se, but allow me to explain. I have what can only be described as juvenile Alzheimer’s mixed with ADHD. I forget everything. I forget things two minutes after they are told to me. I forget names, dates, directions to places I’ve been countless times, my keys; and part of it is my fault. You see I have this nasty tendency to zone out when I think a conversation isn’t overtly important a condition I like to call, “Hey-look-a-squirrel-syndrome”.
There you have it; those are the bad habits that I wish I could kick. Maybe writing them down and focusing on them will help me to curb how often I do them. If the past is any indication, however, it won’t.
