We all know what procrastination is, but do we know why we do it? Experts explain that procrastination is not as clear-cut as we believe.
Sure it’s easy to understand putting off washing the dishes and the laundry simply because we don’t feel like doing them. But what about when we put off doing the things we want to do; such as building a successful business, learning a new skill, or losing weight. Why do we continue to make-up excuses and put off achieving what we want to achieve?
Fear of success and exposure. The more successful a person is, the more privacy they lose and the more exposure to the public they gain – not a comfortable situation for anyone.
Fear of abandonment by friends.
Fear people will think you’ve changed for the worse.
All of the above fears cause people to put off going after what they want in life. Thus begins the vicious cycle; Fear cause procrastination, procrastination causes failure, and failure causes; anxiety, low self-worth, confusion, confinement, lack of freedom, helplessness, lack of control, depression, sense of unimportant.
Then write specific goals you want to achieve.
REMEMBER: Short term pain, long term gain! Also Remember: The only thing keeping you from achieving your goals is procrastination!
