Don’t be alarmed but you may very well have a life threatening disease that’s sucking the life out of you!
However it’s not a diseased that will take your life overnight, it’s a disease that will slowly suck the quality clean out of your life,
…leaving you wondering what could have been!
Which is one of the most painful regrets that a human being can bare.
I’m talking about “Procrastination”.
One of the most life sucking diseases know to man however it’s hardly ever talked about in the main stream of society.
If you’re working a job that you hate you ARE suffering from procrastination.
If you’re living in a house or unit that you don’t like you ARE suffering from procrastination.
If you’re living a lifestyle that deep down you don’t like you ARE suffering from procrastination.
And you may very well find yourself baring a very large regret,
…a regret of wondering what could have been.
But I’m here today to share with you how to overcome procrastination so you can start taking action and fighting back for the life you truly DESERVE.
8 Tips For How To Overcome Procrastination
1 – Be a Doer not a Don’t-er
This may seem like a very obvious tip that in order to make something happen you NEED to DO something,
…but still people find themselves thinking about doing something but not actually DOING it.
So from today onward ingrain in your mind that you’re a doer and start taking ACTION.
2 – Don’t Wait Until Conditions Are Perfect
I have to admit that I’m a bit of a perfectionist, I like to go back over my blog posts and edit the smallest little things and make sure everything is perfect,
“I’m doing it right now!” ha ha ..
…but this is a habit that I NEED to work on breaking myself.
BUT I don’t let this stop me!
Nor should it let you.
The truth is that the perfect time will NEVER come and you’ll always find reasons to postpone your task for another day.
Do you want to know when the perfect time is to take action?
You guessed it RIGHT NOW!
3 – Ideas Alone Won’t Bring Success
An idea that’s never acted upon is like labor without a birth.
You may think that’s a full on analogy BUT it’s the truth, just one of your ideas acted upon could very well be the birth of a new life for you.
Never let an idea go stale, ACT upon it and bring it to reality.
4 – Use Action To Cure Fear And Gain Confidence
Have you ever found yourself staring at the phone because you need to phone someone important but for some reason you postpone the call,
…only to have the thought growing and festering inside your head.
To the point where you’ve started to build up anxiety and even fear for making the call.
This is just one example of how inaction can create fear inside you.
The cure for this is so simple it hurts.
Do what you fear and your fear disappears!
5 – Start your Mental Engine Manually
If you’re a blogger like me or someone who relies of their creativity it’s easy to postpone writing a blog post or creating a video because maybe you haven’t been inspired that day,
…but you don’t wait for your spirit to inspire you.
You need to TAKE action, dig in and move your spirit!
Just the action of sitting down and getting started gets the creative ball rolling,
..as opposed to watching TV waiting for the creative spirit to kick in.
Why wait? Just kick start it yourself…
6 – Think in terms of NOW.
The words I’ll do it tomorrow, in a few days or next month are the words of “Failure“,
…don’t wait to take action on an idea that needs to see life.
Act TODAY, be a NOW person.
7 – Start Taking Action TODAY
Don’t waste time getting ready to get ready, this is the type of state that procrastination not only loves,
…it also breeds in this mental state!
Getting ready to get ready will leave you sitting on the sidelines watching everyone else create success,
…instead start taking action TODAY.
8 – Focus on the Results
The last tip I will leave you with today is one of the most important tips for how to overcome procrastination.
Which is to FOCUS on the results that will come of your actions.
One of the most powerful things you can do to bring yourself to action is to not focus on the work itself,
…but focus on the reward that action will bring.
When you focus on the results or the reward you will stir up a feeling inside you that can’t help but fire you up and you can’t help but take action.
Setting an intention, focusing on the results and taking massive ACTION is the recipe for success.
