No Diet Diet Day 10

Day ten’s task was to change my energy level. I assessed myself as usually being at the calm/relaxed end of the scale, hard to believe when I look back at my late teens and early twenties. Then I was such an alpha type it bordered on neurosis. With physical distance I was able to see that behaviour for what it was, conformation to a family doctrine rather than a personality trait, and let it go. In any case, my challenge was to be more energetic/driven. The authors give a number of suggestions as to how I might achieve this. I chose to tackle a task that I have been putting off for a long while. At first I procrastinated over starting, there’s a reason some tasks are avoided, but once I realized what I was doing I jumped right in with false enthusiasm. I didn’t fool myself into enjoying it but I did get a couple of unwelcome chores out of the way.
