Do you ever act like things are sooooo much harder than they really are? {click to tweet} Of course you do… We all do. I just caught myself doing it this morning.
It is Monday morning and I am in my office wanting to make a fresh french press of Guayaki Yerba Mate’, but the french press is still holding remnants of the last batch that I made last week. I do not have a kitchen at my office space, I just have the sink of the shared bathroom.
I have been telling myself that it is too hard to clean out the french press at my office. I bring it home sometimes, and usually forget about it for a day there too. Why do I act like cleaning a french press is so hard? I used to clean a french press plus all sorts of other kitchen items in any water I could find while on tour worldwide. (Ok, not any water, clean water).
I have dish soap at my office, I have spoons to get the leaves out, I have running water. It took me less than 5 minutes to clean out that french press and I am now waiting for a new batch to brew. This time, I WILL clean out that french press before I go home today. I will clean it out within 30 minutes of finishing the press! It is so NOT HARD!
Why do we do this? Act like easily doable things are so hard, and take up too much of our precious time. Juicing, ugh, that is like so hard. I push fresh veggies through a machine and get something I love, made to order by me, and then I have to clean the juicer out when I am done. That is just too much work.
Making homemade almond milk…are you kidding me? That is sooo hard. I have to soak almonds while I sleep and then spend 5 minutes blending it and pushing it through a bag. Just to have fresh, no chemical added almond milk, flavored and sweetened to my liking. Who do you think I am? That is way too hard and time consuming.
Return it to the store? I mean, I know it doesn’t fit right and I am not going to wear it, but you are telling me to just get it over with and drive to the store and get my money back? I need that precious time to watch my favorite television program on demand, and check Facebook.
Do my laundry!?!?! I mean I know that I want clean clothes and all, but loading a machine and then switching it to the dryer, and then putting it all away. Come on, now. Who has that much time? I know that I can read, study, relax, make dinner while I am doing it, but yeah right.
What have you been putting off? What have you been acting as if it is SOOO hard? Is it really hard? Or are you just making it hard?
