🟣 You quit your day job as an ER nurse, and pick up 3-5 (or 8) online businesses for fun!!! 🤣


🟣You quit your day job and start smoking cigars and day drinking when deciding how many tattoos you intend to acquire on your body ASAP!!!


🟣 If you think of several ways you could hide a dead body if you ever needed to, (not because you intended to kill your spouse someday or anything,) just as like a creative outlet in case of an emergency of some kind someday...it's just like an interesting brain exercise...that you would never want to admit you spent several hours (or days) seriously contemplating....


🟣 You have a Love/ Hate relationship with many things in life like social media and any other dopamine stimulating activity that can also be a major time suck or distraction from what you're "supposed to be doing"


🔵 You use your planner for broken segments of the year because you sometimes find it very helpful to function and other times can't tolerate the agony of things never seeming to "go as planned" and the thought of continuing to write things down and monitor tasks that frequently remind you "you're failing" is too exhausting to manage


🔵 Recurrent burn out seems to be the force that is required to redirect your path because going full steam ahead at whatever your attention is on seems to be the pathway that accomplishes anything...even though it frequently leads to seasons of feeling incapable of accomplishing anything at all


🔵 You forget to let your spouse know that you are going to walk to the post office to check the box and find a friend to talk to, fail to message him until he's nearly sent a search party and called 10 times because chatting and catching up for a few minutes (that quickly becomes 2 hours) doesn't compute as a sudden, unexpected disappearance that should cause reason for alarm


🔵 Procrastination, shame, and guilt are frequent forms of motivation you naturally or subconsciously use to stimulate yourself to complete things/tasks that are hard for you to otherwise get done (but you also hate this about yourself 😭)


🔵 You start a blog and suddenly think you can make life altering decisions like becoming a full time writer (didn't actually do that) just day dreamed about it lots


🔵 Frequently change your mind about what the next most fulfilling life endeavor that is going to dramatically change the course history of your life is going to be


🔵 Have owned (and then sold) 3 homes and had at least 8 different employers (not including any attempts at self-emplyment ) whilst getting married and having 3 kids somewhere along the way 😵‍💫


🔵 You have at least 6 drafts of various blog post topics in the works at all times so you can pick up and add to them the next time you feel well enough to write and then probably publish them all within days before you take another 2 months/6months or 1 year to write again


🔵 When you feel well you take on all the things you love because you just LOVE THEM SO MUCH, and when you can't sustain doing them ALL AT ONCE like the last 12 times you failed to, you abandon them all at once and crawl into a shame hole for the next 4-5 months 💔



🔵 To be continued....probably 🤣🤣🤣
