Something I am doing has awoken a really decent problem-solving part of my mind.
I was a little bit concerned how today I would lug up a suitcase full of Christmas decorations (that doesn't shut properly) into the loft.
I hate going up ladders at the best of times and I do have a fear of the ladder falling and me being stuck in the loft FOREVER, but I always take my mobile phone up there with me in the highly unlikely episode of that happening (another problem solved).
So I had visions of everything falling out of the suitcase on the way up the ladder and having to put it all back in again and the same thing happening a few times.
Then this little calm voice in my head said: "why don't you put the empty suitcase up there first, and just the decorations up in bags and then put them away in the suitcase up in the loft?".
Yay! Thank you brain, perfect solution.
I have really noticed that I am coming up with better solutions and not worrying about things so much.
I can't put my finger on exactly why these improvements are coming about, apart from my decisions to work on improving myself daily, believing in myself more and choosing to be happy.

But what if you want to use the ladder as little as possible because you are afraid of the ladder?
Kidding of course, that's a smart brain at work. Have you been doing brain teasers?

Yes I had to use ladder more, but I'm getting used to it now - exposure therapy

I'm making reference to the last picture in your post, "It takes just one person to start the process of change." This is not only applicable to people, it is also applicable to habits. "It takes just one action to start cultivating an habit". Being efficient is now more like an habit you have cultivated. Unknowingly, you have trained your brain to be efficient, and it's a very cool thing.

Unwittingly training my brain sounds a bit paradoxical, but its true.

Pragmatism is powerful.
And even if you fall what would be the problem? I have come to the conclusion that the less we fear death the less we fear everything else.
I tell you something about my retarded fear back then. I was afraid to carry a cup of coffee because of the hot coffee in it.
Now when I feel like not doing it because my hands shiver or something I still do it.
I didn't burn my fingers once and if they burn then fuck it, they will burn then, I will die anyway.

great thoughts, while you are collecting a suitcase with Christmas decorations, today in my country is celebrating Christmas. I'm Orthodox, so January 7 is a great holiday for us.
Although your words are more interpreted, and with you I dare to agree that the best decisions are made at that moment when you do not expect this and do not worry about things so much.
Thank you

I always thought it would be a good idea to have Christmas in January.
It was a good time for decision to happen as I hadn't started yet and it was just mere floating thought at that point.

Stuck in the loft forever :D. I used to do a lot of catastrophizing too. What if this goes wrong? What if that doesn't work out? CBT is great for that... forcing you to go further than the first anxious thought: well what if it does, then what? And you explore that possible outcome. And the next. It's great that you're solving problems and shaking off unwanted thoughts.
I would've just waited for one of the lads to do it :D

I'll have to wait for my girls to get a little bit older, although Hazel (my 6-year-old) is itching to get up the ladder.

That is hilarious. I had the opposite before xmas. I hadn't been in my loft for three years because of two massive wasp nests!
I had a really good Christmas tree up there ( although next year I am going back to a real tree)
Any way we had a really good tree up there and good family decorations so I just decided to go up there.
This was whilst being told by my lads that wasps were going to get me!
I did and as the boys eagerly awaited Christmas at the bottom of the loft ladder I started to pass the decorations down.
That bit was fine but when I passed the massive box containing the Christmas tree through the loft hatch it basically got stuck and they panicked. I then got a bit uncomfortable in a dark loft with a massive wasps nest right by me head and two screaming/ laughing children heckling me. Claustrophobia central!
All worked out well in the end but no thanks to my brain.

Deciding to be happy in general increases your vibration. When you increase your vibration, your thoughts and the things you focus on start to change and this cycle continues. Next thing you know you hear more positive voices in your head lol I hear them too ;-)
