PROCRASTINATION KILLS

I've found that whenever I enter a 'slump' - and I am about to procrastinate, it is really hard to get myself out of that...

...don't get me wrong, it can be done - but it is SUPER hard - because you begin procrastinating about procrastinating!

The best thing to do is to become AWARE of the negative pattern and replace it with a positive habit that will give you just as good, if not better results both mentally and on an 'action' level.

The funny thing is - the hardest part of procrastination is ALWAYS the beginning - but once you begin to LET GO of that thought, or whatever it is that's holding you back...

...you'll forget what the hell it was you were procrastinating about - and go ahead and do what you were going to do!

This is because you're not 'fighting' or 'resisting' the urge - which in essence is identifying with the thoughts in your mind...

...instead, your letting go of those thoughts - being the space to absorb that - and as Eckhart Tolle would say, 'the antibodies will begin to dissolve'.

You just have to trust the process - and begin to become AWARE of when you're about to/are procrastinating - then you can replace that negative pattern with a positive one.

Don't fight it - just let go.

And you'll noticed you forget what you were procrastinating about!

That is just one of the ways of doing it - another is through action - I'll probably write up a post about that sometime this week.

Use all the tools at your disposal - don't just depend on one ;-)

    Procrastinating is the worse thing you can do, especially when trying to build a business online. Procrastination is knowing you have certain tasks you have to complete for the day, but yet still resisting to move forward and accomplish your goals. When you do this you damage your chances of success. Don't get me wrong now, I love having free time, that's what we ALL want ! But if you don't handle your business first because you're too busy procrastinating pretty soon you won't have free time! Instead you'll be living an undesired life working for somebody else's dream! The reason most people aren't successful is because they procrastinate, the reason is because they are afraid to take risks, because they don't believe in themselves, and because they procrastinate! So they give up!
