You Procrastinate but You Are Not a Procrastinator
How much further behind in the game are you because you think you’re a procrastinator? Come again?
Here is the thing, you aren’t a procrastinator but you have a habit of procrastinating. I used to hold on to that procrastinator label BIG TIME! It gave me an out. It gave me an excuse. I put things off that would increase my business cuz hey, I was a procrastinator after all.
Procrastinating is a habit, that’s all. And it’s one you can break. But you need to figure out what the real reason behind the procrastination is. For me, it was fear. Fear of opinions, fear of being judged, fear of putting myself out there. So, I would put it off. I did this for so long that it almost makes me sick except that I’ve forgiven myself and have given myself some grace.
Do I still procrastinate sometimes? Of course! I’m human. I get scared still. But I can also realize what’s going on and change the course.
It sounds easy but figures out what the real reasons are behind the procrastination and you can change it. It is easy yet it’s not. That’s why I journal and that’s why I meditate. You need to be willing to do all the work.
