There may have been many wonderful opportunities knocking on your door, but if procrastinate them you can lose them. There are plenty of famous quotes out there about this issue to motivate people. Yet ironically the majority of people that say they are going to stop procrastinating put it off for another day!
"Oh, how I wish I could overcome procrastination! Somebody please help me stop procrastinating! But not today, I'm busy."
It is going to take serious work and plenty of dedication to change such a behavior though. Yet you deserve to break free from the chains that procrastinating brings to your life. You need to work hard to let go of all the negative energy that is associated with it. If you slip at times then just learn from it and keep working hard to make changes that are going to provide you with the positive sources of energy you can really benefit from.
We can be our own worst enemy at times, and you will definitely find this is true when it comes to the Law of Attraction. You are going to have to be honest with yourself and determine why you procrastinate. You need to then focus on changing those patterns of behavior and moving on from them. So what are you going to do when there is a problem on the road to your goals. Are you going to sit there and let things happen to you or are you going to find a positive solution so you can get past the hurdle?
For example consider a child who is going to a party. She may have anticipated it all day long. She gets ready early but then realizes there is something on the dress she picked out. She won't let it spoil her good time though. She has plenty of time to get the dress cleaned up or she will simply choose another one to wear. Another child may have waited until the very last minute to prepare for the party as they are a procrastinator. When they find that their dress has something on it they may end up very upset as they are not going to be late for the party.
Take the example of the child who is excited about a party, but once she has put on the dress that she had kept ready she drops chocolate down the front of her dress. She will not be late as she has to change her dress. This would be an example of a slipped foot. The child who is excited about getting to the party, but was too busy playing till it was time to go and therefore just pulled out a dress from her closet and put it on is an example of the foot planted squarely in the gap between the stepping stones. Beware however of the fear-based procrastination that will inevitably delay and destroy your dreams. It will allow negative energy to replace the positive energy. Beware of the fear of rejection and failure that prevents you from making the requisite cold calls before you make a successful sales call or the fear of drowning that prevents you from taking those swimming classes and learning to enjoy the water.
In order to get past this though you have to be willing to step outside of that form of thinking. You have to be willing to put the procrastination in the past and move forward. You have to see yourself in the role of being successful so that you will have positive energy instead of negative energy. You need to use the Law of Attraction to help inspire and motivate you to reach for what you really want from life.
Do you often feel guilty after you have procrastinated? If so, you aren't alone but the point to focus on is how you are going to successfully change your behaviors. You need to let go of that negative energy and replace it with motivation and inspiration so you can generate positive energy as well.
Here are some great ways for you to start working on changing your habits that are known as procrastination:
1. Writing - If you write down your goals you will be able to visualize them. Place them on the refrigerator, a bulletin board, your bathroom mirror, or any other place where you are sure to see them all the time.
2. Make it manageable - If you procrastinate because something seems to be too big for you to tackle then you need to break it down into pieces. You can set smaller goals that will be stepping stones to achieving the entire thing. Make sure you celebrate these small successes too as they will certainly help you to create even more positive energy. Each of the smaller goals that you achieve will help you build confidence in your ability to control what does take place in your life.
3. Procrastination can suffocate a person so you need to be careful of it. The easiest way to do this is just to start something NOW. Don't say you will when you have time or next week, or at the end of the month. The opportunity is right before you NOW so you need to have the self discipline to reach out there for it with both hands.
4.Reward yourself - when you accomplish each project as well as each milestone.
5. Forgive yourself and you will be happier. If you make mistakes then accept responsibility for that. Instead of allowing negative energy to take over while you are kicking yourself in the butt for it, learn from it and move on. Stay positive and take a close look at your goals again. You definitely need to be able to stop procrastinating so that the Law of Attraction can work for you.
