I have a comfort zone that I want to push out of, I want to learn new skills, visit new places, meet new friends. As I push out, I have a hard time being very patient with myself. Here is an example. I just became a smart phone user. I actually bought a smart phone last fall, we were smack in the middle of selling a home, buying a home and moving when I realized I just didn't have the brain cells available to learn about this piece of technology! Back to the store it went!
But as the months passed I found myself 'shopping' for a new phone, talking poorly about my current phone and PROCRASTINATING! Last week as I began to shop, I took a breath and hit buy! After a lengthy online chat I DID IT! I am catching on, not as quickly as I would like, but I also don't want it to consume me.
I have a laundry list of things I don't want to do with my phone, I don't want to be involved with my phone when I am also trying to be involved with other people. That includes being on the phone with others as well as having face time with other folks. I don't want my phone to be a distraction. Whether I am driving, working or playing with my four legged friends - my goal is to use this as a tool - A tool that lets me wander further away from the comfort of my home, but can also keep me safely in touch.
I think I can .... I can.... I will keep you posted!
