How to Stop Procrastinating: 7 Easy Tips

I am talking about procrastination today because I have been stuck lately. I want everything to be perfect, and keep making excuses for why I haven't posted yet this week. Here are some steps that have helped me. Hope they motivate you to take action! 

How to Stop Procrastination

1. Nobodies Perfect 

      The most successful people are not perfect, they just stick at it and take action. Darlings do not let the fear of being perfect hold you back.  

2. Mistakes are a Given
     Everybody makes them. It's what you do after that matters. 

3. Quit Caring What Others Think

     "What You Think of Me Is None of My Business" this is a book title by Terry Cole-Whittaker. I love this because everybody has their own opinions about you. All your doing is wasting your precious energy trying to convince or change their minds. It sounds crazy when you think about it.
      Did you know that most people are worried what others think of them. So everybody has that same fear to get over. You know that you are growing as a spiritual being when you stop caring what other's think and do what makes you happy. 

4. Trust in Yourself

     Remember those times when you were stressing out about a deadline or when you had to do a speech, then you totally nailed it! You know yourself. You know what your passionate about. You know what you know. 

5. Lean in

     Lean into the direction you want to go. Do some research. Figure out what your first step would be.

6. Go With Your Gut Feeling
     How does it feel? You can listen to your inner guide by starting to go in a certain direction.

7. Let it Flow Out of You and Run With Your Big Idea. 
Let go. Trust that once you start going the universe/God/higher-self will have your back.


YOU DESERVE GREAT THINGS. GO AFTER YOUR DREAMS ALREADY.

What are some things that help you get going when you feel stuck, or when you are being lazy?

To Get What You Want In Life All You Need To Do Is Believe

Ask For What You Want
What do you want to be in life? What things do you want to accomplish? Where do you want to live? What kind of house do you want? What career do you want? What things to do want to do in your free time?

Sit somewhere quiet with your eyes closed. Think about all the areas of your life and how you would like them to look. Feel how you would feel if you had your dream job - if you had all the things you wanted - if you lived in the house you wanted. Get excited about it.

I will do this maybe once every other month or more. I like to look back at them and see if my wants are still the same. I like to expand my wants deeper with every session!

By doing this you are telling the universe-God-living energy what you want in life. You are asking for it.


Believe That It Could Happen
Believe that you can have what you want. Believe that you can accomplish your dreams, and that you can land your dream career. Believe that you have it in you!


Have Faith That It Is Coming
Have faith that the universe will bring you your soul mate, great friends, and wonderful experiences. Know that it is already coming. Know that the universe is conspiring to get you everything you want. Know that if bad things happen good things will come from them. Know that with every good positive thought you are attracting the things you want to you.

"Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve."
-Napoleon Hill

Dare to have huge wild dreams for they shall come true if you believe,

What is Motivation? What is Drive? What is Inspiration? & How Do I Get It!

Motivation: “The reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way.”

Drive: “An innate, biologically determined urge to attain a goal or satisfy a need.”

Inspiration: “The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, esp. to do something creative.”

Desire: “A strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen.”

<All definitions retrieved from Google.com>

Now we know exactly what they are. How do they tie in together?

What I believe is that the driving force is love. We want something because we love it.

Now is this the driving force behind motivation, not always. Sometimes our reasons for being motivated are all wrong. Sometimes we choose to go after certain goals to please someone else or to get something that we think will make us feel better.

How Do I Get Motivation, Drive, Inspiration, and Desire?

Have you been procrastinating a task and really want to figure out how to get motivated to do it?

Check out Marie Forleo’s video on When Procrastination is a Good Thing. http://www.marieforleo.com/2013/10/procrastination-good-thing/

She states that maybe the procrastination is a sign to look at why and what it is we are going after.

Do we really want it? I mean come on, how bad do you really want it if you have to look up how to get motivated to do it?....

Why do you have to/want to do it? Maybe you have to work at a shitty job to feed your family. Well that is your motivation right there!! Maybe your boss wants a report in by COB today! Well you value your job, right? You want to keep it, right? Well isn’t that motivation to get shit done!

One of the large motivators for me is…. You are always stepping into another position, or opportunity. You are always moving forward with every task you get done, every small goal you accomplish.

But… You have to know what direction you are going. You need a plan. You need to know what the next step is after this shitty job. Are you saving up to start a business of your own? Are you networking to get clientele for your next job? Are you working your way up to be a head honcho in the business? Are you choosing to get some experience in your field for cheap pay?

KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING!

Of course motivation will be hard to have when you have no good damn reason to do whatever it is you are trying to do!!

Do What You Love and the Rest Will Follow

Do you need motivation to roam Pinterest?

Do you need motivation to garden?

Do you need motivation to go hiking?

Do you need motivation to shop?

Do you need motivation to go to the zoo and feed the animals?

Okay a few of you may need some motivation to do some of these, but what I am getting at is you do not need motivation when you want to something!  

When you are doing something you love, you will desire it. You will want to do it. Inspiration will come with it. You will get excitement about it!

And it is so much FUN to be all giddy, excited and inspired over something. 

Life Goals, Do You Really Want It?

Look at what your life goals are? Are they to get married? Have a baby? Buy a new car? Own your own house? Put your children in a private school? Have a huge wedding?

Now why do you want those things? Really dig deep. If you are only coming up with, well why shouldn’t I want it, then maybe you need to look at your life and your goals.

Many of us don’t really figure out want we want. So we want what others have or what we think we should want, which we get from society.

You do not need to be married to be an adult! You do not need to have a new car to be freakin’ awesome! You do not need to have a huge wedding to prove that you love your husband! You do not need to have children at all, if it doesn’t appeal to you.

DO YOU! Desire what you want. Love what you want. Inspiration will come flowing through you. Love for it will be your Motivation!
