As a heavy procrastinator and being caught in vicious circles of depression, social anxiety, I feel I need to live more by this mantra.
I think when I feel at my best, I am working towards a goal. The goal being when I am creating something that I can be proud of, that I feel passionate about. In college life, there's a lot of distractions down the road that make me feel depressed and numb. The thought of being alone, the feeling of being a loser, group-pressure, socializing, all of that jazz. That makes my mind more preoccupied with those things, then trying to get my goals done. A lot of people in college are more preoccupied with trying to be popular, and kind of slack their way through college without really feeling passionate about their studies, then actually trying to accomplish and create. Which is why I think the people who do try to create, but get somehow caught up in the things I go through, often get the short ends of the stick and feel miserable. The trick is to not give up, and keep thinking positive. Actions speak louder then words.
I think it will all be better when I try to accomplish something, and not be so distracted by all of the things that pass. Accomplishment makes confident. That means daily goal setting.
Do you agree with the statement that "activity chases the blues away?"
