Do as I say, not as I do

I have a lot of great advice to give. I'm also willing to give it when asked, and sometimes even if I wasn't asked to. But sometimes I find myself not following my own advice.

It's a different thing knowing what should be done and actually doing so. It's easy to tell others how they should act, but when it becomes to myself it's somehow harder to take my own advice.

It's a different thing hearing the same thing from somebody else. Why is it so hard to give credibility to your pwn sayings? Ot doesn't change the fact that those things would be worth doing.

Maybe it's more about how the information just sits there in my head. I know it, but it doesn't pop into the focus without a proper stimulus. When somebody else ask for an advice it's easy to bring up the information and share it with them.

So instead of trying to advice myself I should instead start asking for advice from myself more often.
