Procrastination - What is that doing for you?

I speak to ladies all over Fairfield and Westchester counties.

They all have goals and dreams.

They have issues that they want to work on, problems to solve and changes that need to be made.

They don't like what is going on with their bodies but they are: to afraid, to busy, to confused to take a stand and go for it.

This fascinates me.

I am a student of human nature.

With a degree in social and behavioral sciences I love to watch people: alone and in a group.

I want to learn what motivates them, excites them and keeps them awake at night.

It is part of the reason I started doing what I am doing.

I wanted to help women change their lives and what is more important than their health.

So why are you stuck?

According to Psychology today

There are three types of procrastinators:

• Arousal types, or thrill-seekers, who wait to the last minute for the euphoric rush.
• Avoiders, who may be avoiding fear of failure or even fear of success, but in either case are very concerned with what others think of them; they would rather have others think they lack effort than ability.
• Decisional procrastinators, who cannot make a decision. Not making a decision absolves procrastinators of responsibility for the outcome of events.

Which type are you?

So what are the 5 things that you can do to get moving:

1.  Make a comitment.  Make it 100% percent.  Once you do this you are ready to go.  Just do it!

2. Clarify why this is important, if you feel strongly about why you need to do something you are less likely to put it off.  If you need to, write it down and post it in a public place so you see it over and over again.

3.  Tell someone what you want to get done.  Once it is public you will feel more compelled to get the ball rolling.

4.  Be clear about the pain that you are experiencing and the pleasure you will feel at the resolution of the issue.  The more viseral you make an issue the more likely you will do something about it - thus moving towards pleasure and away from pain.  A foggy conclusion makes the ride so much more unlikely.

5. Put it on your calendar and throw away the eraser.  Plan out your attack in realistic chunks and go do it.  Without a plan you have only a dream. Make it real!

6.  Okay, I said 5 but I added one....8-)  Get support.  Decide who you need to make this happen and get them in on the plan.  Tell them your goals and have them make you accountable.  Yep I love this one - I am a coach - this is what I do!

Take these five/six steps and you should be on your way to moving past being a procrastinator.  You can do it!

I would love to support you in any of your health and wellness goals.

Remember it is your health and……
   

You Deserve to be Healthy!
