You're not alone, I have that too.
Knowing that you should do something is not the same as feeling that you 1) really want to do it and 2) are able to do it in the first place. You need to think in a certain way to feel that. Giving some advice is on the "should" level. But to take action and follow the advice, you need to go one step further.
I find giving someone else an advice I don't follow very useful for myself. When I give the same advice to three or four people in a row, it's like autosuggestion. My advice somehow slides into this deeper level of my consciousness, and - after enough repetitions - it becomes natural for me to think this way. Only then I'm able to go this one step further and actually do it. |
