Actualizing (100 words)

The key difference between being someone who wants to do something and being someone who actually does it is actually doing it.

This sounds trite or derisive, but I promise it is not.

The simplicity belies how unreasonably hard it is to convince myself to do things that are good for me; I desperately want to be the kind of person who comes home from work and then spends an hour doing yoga and yet here I am doing absolutely none of it despite the fact that it would be so, so, so easy.

Good job, self. You’re doing great.
