Embracing Our Procrastinator


By Reeny Carvotta Barron

Procrastinator I am! If you are like me, you know within that there are tasks to be done or words that have to be said - niggling at you to get it done or say it now yet you PROCRASTINATE!

So why do we not take action?

This part of ourselves - where the Procrastinator serves a purpose. You probably don't think so but it does. It is part of our ego that keeps us safe, safe from criticism, safe form harm and/or safe from insecurity.

So now I hear you saying to yourself, I must do this perfectly so why try.

Have you ever gone through this procrastinating stage because it just has to be perfect or didn't understand why?

For some time I have missed the deadlines mostly because the planning thing just didn't resonate with me. You see, being a kinesthetic type person listing tasks, ticking boxes and keeping notes, although I try, just didn't work. Sorry, Stephen Covey(!) brilliant work, for some. Great excuse and an easy way out by justifying my style because it didn't feel right. The why of getting wherever I was going just didn't click in. I was flowing the pack(!) not my path.

Even so here came the guilt!

Do you ever get that guilt feeling, as you see your colleagues running up hill and you are still at the bottom looking up? The guilt sets in and the feelings are so intense that you would rather hold back than complete any project then to suffer the consequence of going ahead.
These beliefs may resonate with you as they have with me.

Failure is unacceptable
People will dislike ridicule exclude me if I don't do it right
Success is dangerous - if I do something it might work
I'm afraid of what the future will bring
No one will listen me so why bother
I just don't want to do it and you can't make me

It's easier than you think(!)

It wasn't about just being a procrastinator... I didn't understand its purpose!

We all know what happens when we approach challenges with a mindset of possibility and optimism. Unexpected ideas and new avenues for growth come to the surface, while cynicism and hopelessness get swept aside. Possibilities are Endless when you know what you want and decide to build the courage muscle and confidence to achieve what you want in your life, whatever that may be for you.

The idea of possibilities allows you to go ahead and dream - dream about your life or even the business you may want to have and the lifestyle it will bring. It is OK to do that, DREAM, because success will be based on your ability to take possibilities into a reality.

So you may say you are not good at starting things; you may often finding yourself getting get stuck in a rut. I am sure there have been successes in your life that when you reflect back on how you overcame those obstacles you can easily remind yourself of how you can start new things again.

Perhaps this may strike you as a relief. Perhaps you think this is incorrect. Or perhaps you have been taking care of people so long that you don't serve anyone anymore not even yourself!

Knowing what you want - the outcomes you want to achieve - know where you are heading -and taking action is how creating possibilities becomes your realities ---always start with an idea, a dream, a fantasy. So where are you now!

What have been the successes in your life; what experiences have you had in your life that has led you to where you are now? There must have been a strategy that got you there! Use this strategy again... you may find your procrastinator diminishes.

Now, if you could have anything in this world you wanted - absolutely ANYTHING at all this is where you get it. I am your genie in a bottle and you can have anything you wish. You not only get three wishes you get as many as you like! I want you to feel fantastic as you think and imagine your perfect life and notice how amazing it is to have anything you want. This is the part where I really want you to start dreaming, really get yourself into the mind frame that anything is possible I want you to separate your ultimate desires, your extremely compelling future into 4 areas:

So what are you aiming for?

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
