Are Procrastinators A Rare Species?

/in , , , , , /by

I think if we took a good look around we would see the notorious habit of putting things off  is very much alive – even in you and me.  Procrastinators are not a rare species.

Procrastination is one of the easiest things to do, yet the most difficult thing to stop.  The problem with procrastination is that it heavily influences our productivity – hands down!

It can be extremely difficult to perform at an optimum level when procrastination takes us off course from making decisions and taking action.  Talk about an energy drainer…

So, how do we overcome procrastination?  It’s like anything else – we first must understand why we do it.  We cannot change a habit if we do not first understand it.

On August 4, 2015, Tuesday Evening, from 7:30 -9:00 pm (ET) I will be hosting an on-line event that will review the TOP TEN PRODUCTIVITY TIPS FOR PROCRASTINATORS.

Feel It – Bless It

How often in life do you stuff down negative emotions or feelings about something going on in your present life or about something that has happened in the past?

It’s a common human pattern to stuff things down. We do it to protect ourselves. You’ve done it, I’ve done it, people do it on a daily basis.

The challenge is…

As we continue to stuff things down in our lives, it accumulates and causes more and more problems for us. 

I received the above in an email from Nick Ortner, The Tapping Solution, and it got me to thinking …

Eventually this accumulation of stuff has no other choice but to come out. When it does come out, it can manifest in many forms. For some people, their outward form manifests as physical clutter.

Clutter as we know represents disorder. Therefore, our physical clutter is an outward manifestation, a demonstration if you will, of what we may be feeling inwardly, i.e., confusion, turmoil, overwhelm. So it makes perfect sense when someone says, “I don’t know where to begin or how to start” when attempting to combat their clutter.

The truth is 99.9% of the time, people can get organized. Organization is a skill set that one can learn. It is the emotional aspect that prevents one from doing so, commonly referred to as an emotional block.

For this very reason, it’s important to take note that in order to deal with your physical clutter it is also necessary to work on your emotional clutter. Otherwise, it has been my experience, that no matter how many times you attempt to get things back in order, if you do not deal with the emotional aspect, the clutter will come back.

It is also important to point out, that the clutter will usually come back with a vengeance.  It’s as if the clutter is saying, “Hey you, I’m not done here…look at me…we have things to settle and I’m not going away until we do.”

This is the time when I suggest you look at your clutter with a fresh perspective. In other words, don’t fear the clutter, Bless it. Approach the clutter with gratitude and thankfulness.

Think of it this way…

Your outward manifestation is like looking through your very own Looking Glass – it’s mirroring back to help you. Look at it as an opportunity to begin the process of healing so you can begin to move forward in your life.

 

7 Habits To A Balanced Life

/in , , , , , /by

I was reading an article the other day that stated 70% of American workers struggle with finding a work-life system. If that is the case, then I would think there are a lot of people trying to find balance in their life.

It is understandable then why most people feel overwhelmed, stressed out and believe they never have time outside of work to do the things they enjoy.  It also makes a lot of sense why people are challenged with excessive clutter – physical and emotional!

In spite of these staggering statistics, there are those that have managed to live meaningful lives outside of their work with ease and a great level of satisfaction.

How do they do it?

Join me next Tuesday, July 14, 2015 when we will review the 7 Habits of People Who Have Achieved Work-Life Balance authored by Harvey Deutschendorf . I will share with you what these highly successful people have in common and how you too can create a life outside of work without worry of clutter build-up.
