JUST DO IT!...
Just the other day….I sat at home and thought about doing my workout for 2 hours….. 2 HOURS!!! WHY????? Then I thought more about it….what was this all coming down to? Maybe because I could think of all sorts of other jobs on my "to do"
The longer I put it off, the harder it became to get started even though how much more satisfied I would have felt if I had just got it done off the bat!
I realized…no more couldn't, shouldn't or wouldn't. NO MORE! I couldn't wouldn't and shouldn't keep wasting energy making up reasons not to do it. I just NEEDED to get off my butt and do something about it!
Which leads me to my one dreaded downfall….
PROCRASTINATION.
Procrastination is one of those little bugs that bites all of us in the booootee at some point or other. It is a slimy little beast. It does a number on us by logically convincing of all the reasons why we shouldn't, can't or won't do something.
The important question to ask is: THEN WHY DO IT? If you are spending that much time putting something off, chances are there is something for you to gain by actually completing it. Otherwise, you would just delete it from your "To Do" list.
Often, the best way of dealing with procrastination is to JUST DO IT. Easier said then done, right? Notice that feeling you get when you procrastinate. Where is it located in your body? For me, it is in my stomach. A big ugly nagging and tugging feeling in my stomach! So when you discover what that is…… know that the only way to relieve it is to JUST DO IT!
The minute you tie them shoes is when that nugging, nagging feelings start to go away….right?
Think of it this way…..
