Let
me start this first post of “organisation month” by welcoming you to the Under
Blue Skies blog (if you are not already a follower please click the “follow”
button). I felt that since we are
talking about organisation this month in both the blog posts and the Wish For
Today posts I had better speak a little about one of the biggest problems that
affects us all.
It
can be very sneaky and sometimes it does not really feel that we are doing
anything bad although we often put things off until the very last minute or
even second and sometimes we just end up just not doing the thing we should be
doing and start to feel bad about it.
So
let us face facts – you are never going to feel good about doing some things
despite what you say – WE ALL procrastinate
at some time in our lives!
Why?
Some
of us will procrastinate on doing something because it takes us out of our
comfort zone. We may have a tool box
full of strategies but we still delay the action as much as we possibly can.
However once we complete the task we realise that it wasn’t really as bad as we
believed it was going to be.
We
have a tendency to blame social media but in reality procrastination has been
around for more years than the internet and it is stated in by Oxford
Dictionaries that the word procrastinate appeared in the late 16th
century.
FEAR is the key to a lot
of procrastination!
Fear
can be a major factor in the cause of procrastination
Fear
of Attachment
Fear
of Becoming Separated
Fear
of Success
Fear
of Failure
Fear
of Being Controlled
Fear
of Being Free
Procrastination
often affects health and relationships as well as time management BUT to
procrastinate is not a symbol of failure.
Many highly successful people can be prone to procrastination. However if it does affect your health or your
relationships then maybe you should rethink your definitions of success.
If
you are suffering from severe procrastination related to anxiety then it is
important to ask for help from friends and family and then if necessary take
medical and/or professional advice.
You
can do some self help providing that the affliction is not too deep or
complicated. You could do some “soul searching” even though it might be
uncomfortable. Ways to do this include
Meditation
Journaling
Creating
Vision Boards
Recognise
that procrastination is a habit even though you may have forgotten what
actually created the habit but you can take action against it.
When
you realise that you are making excuses not to do something or that you are
wasting time in order to avoid getting things done.
Simply
follow the instruction below and then start doing the thing you have been
putting off……..
Starting
from 5 and count backwards to zero and once you reach zero start to take action
on the thing you have been procrastinating about.
IT CAN REALLY BE THAT
SIMPLE!
