Procrastination Stress

Are You Like a Deer in the Headlights?

Can’t Overcome Procrastination?

Procrastination is the result of lack of clarity. You are having a disagreement between your what your head is telling you to do and what you feel in your heart about what you REALLY want to do. You get “stuck” because you don’t feel sure about how to proceed. That “stuck” is procrastination.

There are times in your life when you have a big project to do, but it’s exciting. You jump right in and enjoy the effort and creativity that shows you are in a pattern called “flow”. But when you can make a clear headed decision that agrees with what you know in your heart it leads to procrastination.

Your body is probably getting into the fray, and giving you a sign, such as a stiff neck, a tension headache, a “gut feeling”,  that is a symptom that you are conflicted in what you REALLY want to do. The fact is: You don’t KNOW what you want, and so you don’t proceed. That is the definition of procrastination!

Procrastination is the result of stress, AND it can cause more stress! It becomes a vicious cycle!

You aren’t sure that you WANT  to proceed; you lack confidence in your choice, and don’t know what to do. You are afraid to make a decision, and so you are stuck like that deer in the headlights! You afraid to go forward, backward,  just transfixed and stressed out where you are. It’s not safe there either!

What’s holding you back from making a decision and getting into action? Fear is preventing you from even making a change. Furthermore, if you make a decision from a place of fear, it’s probably the WRONG decision! If you follow the fear, you’ll be moving in the wrong direction!

There are lots of “buts”, excuses, reasons why you “should”, “can’t” and “don’t” change. However, when you are in an stressful situation, your brain can’t think properly. It’s hard to even assess your options. You can’t think clearly. Your mind is wrapped up in the reasons “why you can’t”, while your heart saying: “follow me”.  You are out of alignment!

A good coach who specializes in EFT can help you QUICKLY to  break through the grasp of fear. Watch my YouTube Video: EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a fast, self administered, and lasting method of shifting the emotions of anxiety and worry that making you stuck in procrastination! Being afraid skews your focus, and it makes it hard to see solutions. EFT will astonish you completely. You will “know it in your heart” when you can evaluate your situation fully, not with the one sided answer of “NO, I can’t….”.  Instead you will be amazed that once you have shifted the fear, you can find a solution where you feel  complete confidence, and clarity.

HeartMath’s tools will help you get your head and heart into alignment. It’s a type of biofeedback that shows you, in real time how to calm your mind and get into your knowing heart space! Once you have calmed the stress, you’re able to understand and become more creative and intuitive.

Once you can think clearly without being afraid and stuck in fear, options become visible. Then it’s easy to get it into ACTION!

Taking steps towards your clear goals builds momentum and confidence. You will feel an amazing lightness, optimism and confidence to replace that dark negativity and stressful feelings.

When you are able to overcome procrastination it will be because you KNOW what you really want; you feel confident about your choice – not conflicted. It boosts your confidence. You move forward in ACTION not reaction.

Don’t let fear rule your life. As the wise words of Winston Churchill counsel: “We have nothing to fear, but fear itself!”  Start living your life with confidence! With a good coach, You can do it!
