WHY IMPULSIVITY IS NOT ALWAYS A BAD THING-PART 2 When it comes to weighing myself and my behaviour and where the actions stemming from my behaviour have taken me, I can’t help thinking that sometimes being a tad light-minded (which sounds better than thoughtless) can favour you in life. I’ve always considered impulsivity a dangerous characteristic, as it has oftentimes led me to places and situations where I don’t wish to go back. But those were the outcomes of poorly conceived objectives. And when the goals are fallacious, the results can’t be bright, whether you carefully plan your moves or not. I was channelling my impulsive energy towards the wrong things. After I began to ponder more on my objectives and aspirations, my impulsivity turned out to be quite useful. Setting goals for yourself is generally the easier part, when you decide the direction you want or NOT want to take. But knowing how to get there can be overwhelming. Where shall I start? How do I know what I’m doing is right or I am just wasting my time? Overthinking can be your worst enemy and have a paralysing effect. My sub-goals towards the biggest goal were: Move to a warmer, sunnier country where I could enjoy the sea-life; Change job and develop my career as a graphic designer; Take up new activities and hobbies; Meet new, like-minded people.
