Time to stop procrastinating and get unstuck with me my darlings!
Put your hand up if procrastination has been keeping you feeling stuck ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ
I’ve been pondering on this topic this week with myself, my coach and my clients. Why do we keep doing the thing when we know what we know and what we need to do? Why canโt we bring ourselves to do the THINGS we really want to do – and talk ourselves out of taking courageous action that will propel us forward?
Procrastination can show up as self-doubt, lack of confidence and feeling STUCK. Paralysed in fear, limiting beliefs and scared to take the next step. If we are not aware we are in the state of deep procrastination, it can literally take away our Joy in our everyday!
BUT there are some simple steps you can implement to avoid procrastination running the show so you can step back into your courage ๐ช
๐ACKNOWLEDGE – Identify the THINGS you are doing that are causing you to procrastinate.
๐Ask yourself what are you afraid of? Is it boredom? Is it your inner perfectionist who is maybe scared of failing? Are you putting off confrontation or worried about being judged by doing the thing? Why are you afraid to do it?
๐Write 10 reasons why doing the thing you are putting off will help your FUTURE self. This is a good one! It empowers your inner child and literally makes you want to take that first step as these feelings feel GOOD ๐
๐Break it down into little achievable tasks – Get out your planner, whiteboard, asana or trello board and break down what you want to do into tiny tasks & next to each one, what will your milestone reward be? So important we be our own cheerleaders and recognise how far we have come ๐๐ผ๐
๐ Make a realistic time plan of when you can action each for each little task – allocate time in your calendar to do this so your keeping yourself accountable.
๐And finally take courageous action ๐
Just DO it my darling! Do the thing! Stop talking about doing it, just begin, start ๐
Get out of your own way and just start taking the courageous action. Baby steps, one in front of the other.
You’ve totally got this ๐ฅฐ
