Procrastination

I want to talk about something that is responsible for so many stalled lives, so many setbacks, so much mediocrity and settling for 'less than' what you could have.

This thing kills confidence, self-esteem and momentum and we ALL struggle with it. I'm serious; no one is immune to it...

So what is it? Procrastination!

I have talked about it before - and I'm sure this won't be the last time;procrastination is one of those things that we all need to address from time to time.

I think it's really easy to look at successful, go-getters and people who seem to really make things happen all the time and think that they don't deal with procrastination...that for some reason, they drew the lucky "No procrastination" card when they were born...

That couldn't be further from the truth. The only difference is that they have learned how to handle procrastination when it comes up.

There will always be times that you want to procrastinate, especially when your comfort zone is being pushed and change is on the horizon. What is important at these times is that you know you can handle it.

I know we talk about the Universal Laws of Attraction, Manifesting and Visualizing what you desire, inspired action is an essential element to making all that you desire happen. 

The last thing you want is for procrastination to get you out of the flow. So what exactly do you need to overcome procrastination in 2012 and beyond?

Measure Your Progress

An extremely important part of your change program is being able to measure your progress.

Testing is not painful, nor is it expensive. You should do it everyday (but it is a pleasure not a demand) in the comfort of your own home, at the end of each day.

Simply ask yourself how your day has gone and write your answers down.

If you are trying to change something physical like weight, fitness, hair, skin, wellbeing It's also a good idea to take before and after photos and post them somewhere you'll see them every day. If it financial, then maybe keep copies of your bank statement in places only you can see them.

But most importantly, measure 5 - 10 different aspects of your progress.

My most successful clients measure everything in their life that's effected by their change, normally on a simple scale from 1 - 10, such as:

- relationships with others
- daily energy level
- attitude
- way you feel when they look in the mirror
- the way you fit into your clothes
- the compliments you get from people
- level of mental focus
- waist, hips, and thigh measurements
- body weight
- body-fat level
- endurance in your workouts

-spending controls
- etc, etc, etc...

Make a long list of ways you can measure your progress - but be sure to include things that are truly important to YOU. If having loads of energy is important to you, than you should be measuring your energy level every day to see if your changes to your routine are doing their job.

On the other hand, if you already have a lot of daily energy, than you might not want to measure that - you might prefer to measure other things that are more important to you at the stage of life your currently at.

Take time to design your list, then chart your progress in a daily journal every day for each of the categories on your list. Then take an average for the whole day, and write that average at the top of your page.

You will be amazed how clearly this shows your progress and it shows really clearly and quickly what is and what is not working for you.
