Stop Procrastinating?

Stop Procrastinating?

We all put off some things in life. I myself spent a few hours today, delaying a short trip to the market to get some necessities. The need eventually overcame my reluctance to take this journey when my stomach started muttering that I was empty!

What is procrastination? What causes it? In my case, today I just didn't want to go shopping. Well, that's not absolutely true; I was completely happy, sitting at home, on the couch, laptop on my knee. I didn't want to shop for everyday things. If it was a trip to the shoe department, I have to admit that I may have felt a little more enthusiastic. If the trip to the golf course was on the map, I would walk out the door as fast as lightning.

Most often in life we ​​do what we want to do, if at all possible. We look for ways we can do what we love to do, and we look for just as much effort to find reasons why we shouldn't do what we don't like to do. If you procrastinate, you do so for some reason. Maybe you just don't like doing anything you put off. Perhaps, however, an element of fear or lack of confidence lies beneath the facet of procrastination. Maybe it's just not worth the effort.

A good question to ask yourself is, "What's stopping you from stopping procrastinating?" Is there anything that procrastination does for you by protecting you from situations that may cause anxiety or keep you from entering an arena? in which you may not feel confident or comfortable? Procrastination may be nothing more than a habit, but it's kind of unusual.

To effectively overcome procrastination, it is necessary to evoke a different emotion when thinking about the task at hand. You need to feel that the task is worth it. To change the emotion, you need to change the thoughts that usually flow through your mind. It is easy to understand procrastination when the task in question causes fear and anxiety. It's just as understandable if someone puts off something that can embarrass or cause facial loss ... unless you can learn to laugh at yourself a little more, in which case the inconvenience will no longer hold you back.

Procrastination doesn't hold you back. This is an indisputable fact. If you are going to do something, you can do it instead of chewing it in your mind for hours. This is an inefficient use of energy and brain energy. You could use your imagination far more wisely; you could spend this mental effort finding ways to think about the "task" differently. How could you see it as a positive challenge? Or maybe as fun?

If you want to overcome procrastination, you must do so. You have learned to see the tasks you usually set in a different light, and you also create a burning desire to do so. It's amazing how you can see things differently once you start looking for an alternative approach.

The human mind is inherently adaptable. You can start by thinking about how good you will feel when you have done anything, and it no longer hangs like a thunder cloud that will explode. You can imagine how confident and successful you will feel when it's all over and dusty. Think about the sense of accomplishment you can enjoy.

The next step in overcoming procrastination is to start thinking about how enjoyable the task itself can be. Think about the good aspects of the job. Deliberately allow your mind to wander over the answers to these questions. There is always something to enjoy every task and if you are going to do something, you can enjoy it.
