Just start yesterday
Procrastination
It has been apart of our
lives at some point. Whether we choose to admit it or not, you too have
procrastinated.

Procrastination is a Bully
For a substantial amount
of time I was the reigning queen of procrastination. I would mutter such
phrases as " I work best under pressure" and " I will have more
time to do it later".
These statements are false!
I was seated on the thrown
of procrastination. High and mighty I reigned, yet very unproductive. I was
truly busy. I have always had a family, and a job to maintain.
While being busy, I wanted
more. Perhaps wanted is an
understatement. I yearned for more. Not for more busy ,but for more of life. I
truly wanted to participate in life. I wanted to start living my life the life
of my dreams.
When thought of
researching my dream would boldly show up, I would always talk myself out of
it. As if I had the nerve to think I could add fulfillment and satisfaction
into my busy.
I beat myself up each time
I thought about devoting time to my dream. Until the day I stood up to myself
and my busy and I started!
Just that simple, I began
typing out my ideas and devised a plan for the rest of my life.
Enduring Postponement
Standing up to myself
meant a lot . I worked on an action plan for two whole days. Soon, I thought I
deserved a break. After all, I had done so well the past two whole days.
Jeff Goins speaks about
reverse procrastination. This post was a few years late for me. According to
the journal dates of my action plan that break lasted approximately four
months.
The procrastination bully
returned. I invited procrastination back in and it took over.
Reviewing my mistakes, I
realized I did not deserve a break but I did deserve to pursue my dreams. I
have turned those dreams into goals that I plan on achieving. I have committed
the next few week to a series of steps to unveiling You.
You as in …
Who you are.
Where you want to be.
What is your plan to get there.
It’s
not enough to commit to someone else without committing to you first. If you
would like to beat procrastination, feel free to join me by responding, “I’m in”.
SKYE
P.S.
Life is a journey of progress, lets go!
