Overcoming procrastination - What finally worked for me...

I found out about the Secret a couple years ago, but no matter what I did, nothing would work. I still had this procrastination feeling every time I wanted to take action on my goal

Everyone told you to visualize your dreams, create your vision board, recite affirmations a thousand times. I tried all of that for a long time, but the procrastination was still there.

I tell you what happened though: my limiting beliefs about money disappeared and I became more optimistic about achieving my goal. I felt deserving of my goal and believed that it was possible to get it.

So I had all this optimism and belief and worthiness, but then when the time came to do the task, I still felt blocked in some way, but I couldn't figure it out

Then I read an article about visualization and it talked about 2 kinds of visualization.

There's this visualization that all the guru's are teaching which is outcome visualization. You visualize your goal with emotion, or you make a vision board and look at it everyday.

Then there's the second kind which is the game changer for me. It's called process visualization. It involves visualizing all the steps you need to take to achieve the goal.

They had a study back in 1999 that involved students who used outcome visualization and students who used process visualization and the latter performed a lot better and had higher grades than the former. I also read that the students who used outcome visualization actually performed worse than if they didn't use any visualization at all (Maybe because it made them too optimistic)

I was surprised by this so I tried this for the first time ... and it worked!

I sat in my computer desk, then when I felt the procrastination, I closed my eyes and I visualized myself writing the ebook. I visualized myself smiling and having fun as I wrote it.

Then I made the visualization colored (instead of black and white), a movie (instead of a still frame), big and close, with slightly loud, high energy music. I turned up all these qualities and suddenly I felt a shift.

I no longer felt the task was boring and tedious, and I began to take action and enjoyed the process.

I believe this is the end of my searching-for-solution-for-procrastination journey. I'm so happy right now.

Just wanted to share this. Feel free to try it and see if it works for you!
