Why You Do not Do what is good for you
11:28:49 2024-11-14 1563

There’s not one reason why you do the things you do, and this includes not doing anything at all. You might feel overwhelmed. You might feel as though your voice is unimportant. You might believe “nothing matters,” or you might think “this is too important to mess up.” The truth is, you are a complex person, this is a complex society, and there are a multitude of influencing factors in your life and the lives of others.

You and the other humans around you are not flawed or inherently broken. Instead, you and they are human. If inaction settles in you are having a common human experience. You just don’t want to do the things you “ought” to be doing.

Try to bring some self-compassion to it and see if there are lessons inside it. You are far more likely to move yourself into needed action when you treat yourself with kindness, respect, patience, and compassion—especially when you feel least deserving of those qualities.

What are these lessons? If you want to better understand how to get yourself into action more reliably, then your best bet is to watch your experience. You might want to ask yourself:

  1. When in my life was I more willing to take action?
  2. What was different back then?
  3. How can I recreate this context?

Depending on your answers, this may be easier or harder. Some things may seem easier to see and easier to recreate contexts that support you. Others are far more complex.

If a seemingly small thing (getting proper sleep, sending in a ballot) feels as difficult as far more complex things (having fulfilling relationships, finding empowering work) see if you can dive in deeper. What is of importance? What is motivating you? How old is this resistance even in seemingly small areas?

Often you will find that the small areas are symbolic of something much larger. You may have to pay attention to the influencing factors in your life that you’ve previously missed, and choose them—to the degree that you can—more consciously and more wisely. This is a matter of reflection and experimentation, and it might take some time. However, if you’re looking for more immediate results, then this next principle is for you.
