From procrastination … to clarity and action
Lots of people suffer from procrastination, an inability to make a decision or a choice, or putting off until ‘tomorrow’ what you want to do today. Procrastination involves your mind or thoughts, rather than your emotions. The opposite of procrastination is clarity and taking action.
Clarity is about being clear, no confusion. IF you think of a photo, it’s like comparing a fuzzy photo to a very clear image. Think of a time when you have had complete clarity in your life. Notice what that feels like. How did that happen? Can you recreate it, to have more of that in your life?
One way to move beyond procrastination is to become clear about what your choices are and more importantly, the consequences. Many people want to do ‘a’ but want the results of ‘c’. This keeps them stuck, as they keep doing ‘a’ while craving the results of ‘c’. If you want the results of ‘c’, you simply have to do ‘c’ not ‘a’.
So start addressing your procrastination by always looking at 3 choices. Don’t know why 3, but it seems to work much better than simply looking at one or two choices. One of your choices can be ‘doing nothing’. Whenever you feel you are procrastinating, simply think about or write down 3 choices and the consequences. Then choose to do what gives you the consequences you want.
Sound simply, but not always easy. It’s about training yourself to have a new pattern or habit. It’s an effective way of decreasing the procrastination in your life. And if necessary, seek help in resolving the underlying issues causing your procrastination.
