I feel bad that I can't source these women as I have lost the link but it was part of a collaboration for Aviddiva's blog on a website called braveheartwomen.com It's a great community of women inspiring and collaborating with each other :)
"dentifying why the procrastination is there and then making it fun somehow enables me to move past it.
Am I scared? Is it simply something I don't like doing?
These are a few questions to ask and adding humour and fun help me energetically work through it.
If I'm scared, then I visualize the results and begin to work from the 'feeling' place of already
being there. If I'm dreading the task then I try to make it fun so I trick my brain and again,
energetically work through it.
I've just learned that meditation/relaxati on can have a huge overall improvement in concentration
and effectively working through complex tasks. I've started practicing Qi Gong and the instructor
incorporates a guided meditation into the session.
This REALLY helps me!
The people I have known who procrastinate were either told repeatedly they couldn't do it right or
led to believe they were special and therefore didn't have to do what other people have to do. In
either case the inner voice is negative and critical towards the self-- so listen carefully to what
you are telling yourself about what you think you "should" do versus what you "choose" to do. Hope you
find positive ways to move towards what you want and don't rely on " force" to get yourself to achieve
what you want.
My own experience has taught me that putting off what I don't want to do comes naturally. Doing what I
enjoy takes no effort at all. Therefore, I've learned to make the things I'd rather not do more interesting,
challenging, rewarding myself somehow when the dreaded deed gets accomplished. If you're just putting off the
inevitable/neccessi ties/nitty-gritty everyday stuff, then you might ask yourself what's happening that
you'd rather not get them out of the way in a timely fashion or why are they so dreaded. My experience has
also taught me that planning is at least half of doing. Keep stashes of paper handy. Create a calendar of
events. My daily pieces of paper become my weekly To Do and when enough are accumulated I have a running
start on the next day, week, month, etc. Not complicated and it does keep me from overlooking something
that otherwise might not get done. The night before routine I established years ago with small children
has carried over all these years in almost every aspect of my life. Right now (10:03pm) I know what I'm
wearing tomorrow and it's all ready. I know what I'll eat, that theres gas in the car, and how many calls
I'll need to make before 10:00 AM. There's fuzziness left in my day on purpose but most of tomorrow is
already visualized in my head. I'll stop here 'cause I think you get the point. Good luck.
Procrastination is an emotional pending gift. Lack of self-worth leads to inertia........stag nation.
In Alchemy it is the putrefaction stage. Unable to move forward to completion. This is a comfort zone
that is seated in deep resentment. These people's minds race in never ending circles. Simple tasks become
monumental obstacles because they are unable to move smoothly from completion to gratitude to new beginnings.
It is addictive behavior. It is a lack of consistency. It takes DISCIPLINE, FOCUS, and TIMING. By the
time a procrastinator goes through all their justifications, there just isn't any time left for anything else.
And the cycle will continue.........on ce hard-wired in the brain, the chemical cascade will continue to
emotionally keep this person in "Lack."
The Emotionally pending gift is Joy. Joy is not happiness. Happiness is fleeting. Joy, on the other hand is
the satisfaction one feels by getting one's needs met emotionally. So, to feel "emotionally gifted," one needs
to find the "way" that suits that particular moment. "There are no error of my ways......only errors of my way."

"The most beautiful people I know are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." Roy Nichols
Not that people who haven't been through some giant ordeal aren't beautiful people :) Even that chemistry teacher is a beautiful person in his own right. I felt sorry for him that he had a shallow narrow minded view of those children, his judgement of their negative emotions and almost fear of it is telling as to how he judges himself, so I wish for him a cathartic experience that may help him lift that. The moral of the story though, is that you shouldn't fear negative experiences because you'll survive them, and to lose everything but the love in your heart and the clothes on your back is to know that even without hope in your life or without graces or luck you are still worthy of God's loving light, and that he will reach you eventually through the pain and that, that is all you need in life to push any mountain out of your way :) Oh yay :) I'm so glad this inspired me to write that :P Thank you :D I love TED talks :)
