I can't make decisions. Whether it's a sickness or a character flaw, I can't decide. (tee hee) I have what is known as "analysis paralysis". This means that I overthink and overanalyze every decision that has any weight, to the point at which I simply don't decide anything! Usually I will be forced to come to some decision, simply by virtue of deadlines or need, but it certainly isn't because I am a decisive individual. Now, there are probably some of you reading this who are thinking "wait a minute, I have always thought of Lana as a take-charge kind of gal". Well, I can be very take-charge in group settings, or when it doesn't impact me directly, but for the life of me I just can't step out there and make a move on my own these days. Could this be some sort of mid-life crisis behavior, or am I simply getting lazy? Hmmm...see what I mean?! Just can't decide. For instance, spring break is a mere 3 weeks away and we still have nowhere to rest our heads while at the beach. That's right folks - I have looked and looked and looked online at beach houses until I can virtually recite them all from memory, but still I haven't taken the big step of plunking down cash and renting one of them! But rest assured, by the time we pull out of our driveway on April 4th we will have a definite destination in mind. I think. =)
This analysis paralysis is also what keeps me from decorating my home and doing all of the things that I would like to do to enhance our space. I always think that whatever I choose will end up not being what I really wanted after all, so I just don't make any decisions at all. But let me say before you now, blog readers, that I am going to diligently work on overcoming my paralysis so that my home can be an oasis - not an albatross around my neck!! Hold me accountable - ask me questions, send me notes of encouragement, tell me what you are doing at your haciendas - I work much better under pressure and with deadlines!
Spring is coming and with it, a new Lana...no more paralysis, just action, even if it's wrong. Ahh - that wasn't so hard, after all!!
