Often, when about to ignore a mundane task that really should be done immediately, I say to myself "Which sort of person do you want to be?"


This is question invites a judgemental attitude which can be extremely counterproductive.

It's far better to use mindfulness and let yourself do what you really want to do.


What if I really want to help myself make positive decisions? I'm talking about picking up a toy left in the hallway by a child or a scrap of paper that fell out of the bin - things that others walk past and pretend they didn't see. Am I the sort of person to just deal with it right then, or take the lazy option. I don't find it extremely counterproductive at all.
