  Overcoming Procrastination

 The abundance that modern life offers us tends to overwhelm us, which leads to an emotional overload. It is this overload that will distract you and scatter your efforts and concentration.

The first step in overcoming procrastination is to get really clear on exactly what you want from every area of your life. This clarity will give you the power to look beyond distractions that may throw you off course. The truth is, most people know what they need to do to create their life that way they want it. The challenge is not in knowing what to do, but in doing what you know.

We all know that results can only be achieved by taking action. What stops us dead in our tracks is failure.......especially fear of failure, and by not taking action we avoid the potential of failing.

The ridiculous truth is that these "fears" are mostly conjured up (by you) in your mind, and they are not even real. Your beliefs are formed unconsciously by life experiences and the meaning that you take from it. The way you walk and communicate with yourself is a form of hypnosis and most of us give ourselves a really hard time when we "mess up". We indulge in negative self talk, which ultimately creates disempowering beliefs about our abilities and capabilities.

To truly overcome procrastination requires control of your internal communication. What you say to yourself, about yourself and your life, will eventually determine what actions you take.

Below are six key elements to overcoming procrastination:

  • Learn to see procrastination, not as a curse, but as a challenge: as the necessary "weights" to build your emotional muscles.

  • Decision is the father of all action. Action flows from decision. Learn to use and put to work the power of a real and congruent decision.

  • Human behavior is largely driven by beliefs and this is also true of procrastination.

  • If you have disempowering beliefs that cause you to associate pain to certain actions, you will avoid it (unconsciously) and procrastinate = you procrastinate to avoid the pain.

  • Examine the beliefs that you hold about yourself, your identity, for it will determine what you are willing to do and ultimately controls you ability.

  • Learn to take the long view by focusing on the pleasurable, and not the painful tasks, that will give you the results. Your focus equals your reality.

George Bernard Shaw said "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are . I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they make them".

  Funny Thoughts to Ponder

If a word was misspelled in the dictionary, how would we know?

If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

Why is abbreviation such a long word?

Why is it called "after dark" when really it's "after light"?

                                        

  Who Clucked First...the Chicken or the Subject?

 

Whenever people hear the word hypnosis, they immediately think that I am going to make them cluck like a chicken. I literally hear this comment from almost all of my clients. If you think about it, a chicken crossing the road is simply poultry in motion, and what's wrong with that?

According to an HB Gibson book titled "Hypnosis - it's Nature and Therapeutic Uses", the longest recorded length of time for a chicken to remain in hypnosis is approximately 3 hours and 47 minutes. Compared to human subjects, chickens remain in hypnosis for minutes rather than hours, and that doesn't sound very relaxing to me. In fact, by simply making a loud noise or sudden movement, chickens will automatically come out of hypnosis.

If any of you are interested in trying to hypnotize a chicken I recommend reading the Farmers Almanac. Apparently there are numerous methods, including a technique called the oscillating finger technique. (I really don't want to know what this entails.)

So, who really did cluck first....the chicken or the subject? When you find the answer to this age old question, please, let me be the first one you contact.
