Taking the advice

I've been given a whole lot of advice in the past few weeks. Almost all of it has been incredibly useful, and the topics have ranged widely - for example: how to make your to-do's better, why you should follow your passion in your career, how to properly roast a chicken, why I should make a better effort in my physical appearance, which color boots I should buy if I want to wear them with black and brown (tan and gray, for the record), and how to appropriately deal with self-defeating thought processes.

Pretty much everything was either directly solicited by me, or offered because the giver knows me well. I've appreciated every last thing these people have told me.

So then why has it been so hard to just take the advice - and keep taking it until whatever it is I asked about or had trouble with is no longer a question or a problem?

This is the challenge. I'm going to keep trying to do better. And I'm going to really hope that finishing the next few days of finals will give me the much-needed mental capacity to do it. So ready to feel like I've accomplished something meaningful. It's been a really long time since that's happened. Or maybe I just don't remember?
