On Overcoming Procrastination
I just finished composing a rather lengthy response to a comment posted by one of my valued reader. I’ve decided to post it here as well for easy reading.
Hi there Fauzi!
First of all I’d like to welcome you to my site and also congratulate you on your interest in PD and PF:) That’s a great first step! You mentioned to me about procrastinating and how to go about overcoming it. I’m no expert in this matter but when I read your question, the first thing that entered my mind is ‘procrastination caused by lack of inspiration and motivation’. From the materials that I’ve read, you need a strong enough WHY behind your purpose/goals/intention to make you want to take action. So if I may I ask you Fauzi, have you found your ‘Why(s)’?
For example, if your goals were to pay off all your credit card debts, ask yourself why you want to be doing this. How would realizing that goal benefit you? What kind of pain would you associate with not achieving your goal. It could be that being in debt would cause you to have to work for a lifetime, even after retirement.
Another way is to envision your end goal in mind. Really feel the joy of receiving it, having it, living it. Do this this every day. Imagine the end results vividly. When you do this the law of attraction works by sending out signals, signs and providing you with opportunities. But you must act on it to bring you closer to your goals. How fast you get there would depend on your ability to take notice and take actions.
As for hypnotizing someone to help him/her achieve his/her personal goals, you would have to refer to other experts in that particular field.
I would suggest you start a blog about your goals to share with others. Blog daily about your progress. When you find other people reading on your quest and cheering you on, you surely would not want to let them down. So that in itself will be your personal motivation to keep moving, taking it one step at a time until you reach your destination. Or you could find a mentor who will assign you specific tasks which you must complete and report back.
That’s just my take on this matter. Hope it can help you in any way. Feel free to comment. You can always email me however I appreciate you sharing your views here as it could help others who are in similar position.
Take care! Cheers:)
