Why we never really forget to take action.

This happens to a lot of people who wants to do make positive changes in their lives. Where we set a goal to do something everyday like drinking more water but by the end of the day we realize we forgot to even take a sip. However the thing I discovered was that we never auctually forgot about the goal we just simply forgot to do it LATER. Ever since I took personal development serious and realized that through out the day I actually remembered countless times about my goals but I tell myself that I do it later. I find it absoulutely facinating that my brain literally reminds me all day to take action. This might sound obvious but the perfect time to do anything is right then and there when you remember that you were suppose to do something. However sometimes we are not in the position to do anything like exercise ,drink water , or make a phone call so either write it down. In fact you might not even need to because when you made that promise to yourself and said you would do it later your brain will hold you accountable for that promise and will ask you for the rest of the day "are you ready now?" Usually we reply again with "later" but there is just so many hours in a day so if you keep postponing it then later doesn't happen.

There is a simple way to combat this problem of negotiating with yourself. When you find yourself in the position where you remember that you need to do something and you just don't feel like doing it at the moment just ask yourself one of these two questions. How badly do you want to achieve the goal that the action leads up to. If you don't really want to achieve the goal in the first place then there is no point in even taking action. The other question is what is one small thing that I can do that will get me started without feeling uncomfortable. Sometime its the idea of starting that prevents us from taking action but we may find that once we have started everything else just flows.
