Do you Procrastinate?

     What is Procrastination?
         According to Collins Dictionary VERB
If you procrastinate, you keep leaving things you should do until later, often because you do not want to do them.
[formal]
Most often we procrastinate when faced with something we do not want to do.

Why do you procrastinate?


Here are some reasons you will procrastinate 

  • Due to fear of failure or criticism
  • Over committing setting unrealistic goals
  • Perfectionism
  • A disconnect with your self concept
  • Low self esteem
  • Avoiding challenges

What can you do to get over procrastination? 

First identify your reason for procrastinating. 


  • If is due to fear of failure and criticism, remember that FAIL is the First Attempt In Learning and according to Napoleon Hill 

“Opinions are the cheapest commodities on earth. Everyone has a flock of opinions ready to be wished upon anyone who will accept them. If you are influenced by "opinions" when you reach DECISIONS, you will not succeed in any undertaking.”


  • Set your goals using SMART - Are they Specific, 
                                                  Are they Measurable
                                                  Are they Achievable
                                                  Are they Realistic
                                                  
Are they Time Framed
  • Remember that there is no such thing as perfect - taking action and doing is better than nothing at all

  • Do you have a vision (Self Concept) for yourself?

  • Getting out of your comfort zone allows you to grow and become more confident. 


Taking one small step, when you are procrastinating on a task will allow you to to become more confident, make changes and will allow you to get things done. Remember when starting a task, you do not have to complete all the task immediately but being consistent will always allow you to feel great when you complete the task.

A weekend of adventure and fun

  A weekend of adventure and fun. The last 2 weekends have been full of adventure, fun and challenge. Meeting lots of new people who have met over the last 2 years on Facebook in a group that offers the spirit of adventure. This weekend it definitely did. A few members from the group set off to Keswick to join the Festival of Light that was being held on Saturday night.  I arrived on the Friday night at the YHA in Keswick (definitely worth a stay), started with a chill before the rest of the group came back from having a meal and spent time getting to know each other. When they came back to the YHA, we had lots of chat and laughs, continuing to get to know each other.  Saturday plans We eventually went to sleep, I woke at 5.30am and got ready for a day of walking, we had an offer of paddleboarding or a walk around Derwent Water a 10 mile walk. With my challenge in August of walking the Pennine Way, I decided the walk was for me. In the evening the plan was to walk to and ...

Certainty – A need for safety, stability, comfort, order, predictability, control and consistency Uncertainty/variety – the need for variety, surprise, challenges, excitement, difference, chaos, adventure, change and novelty These 2 are like a see saw and work with each other, if you get too much certainty, you will get bored and if you get to much uncertainty, you will crave a bit more certainty of predictability Significance – the need to have a meaning, to be special, unique, pride, needed, wanted, sense of importance, worthy of love and respect Love/connection – the need for communication, unified, approval, attachment, intimacy, to be loved by other ...
