7 Tips To Beat Procrastination For Bloggers
7 Tips To Beat Procrastination For Bloggers
BUT (and this is a big but) LET US NOT FORGET THAT WE CAN WALK THE PATH FROM NOTHING TO SOMETHING, AND SOMETHING THAT MATTERS! ONE STEP AT A TIME! THAT IS HOW WE LEARNED TO WALK AND TALK AS KIDS, RIGHT?
In this article, we will study the 7 measures to counter procrastination by maintaining coordination between the mind and the body. The maintenance of mind to body coordination essentially means that: Ôthe way you think in your mindÕ and Ôthe way you act with your bodyÕ can be ÔbalancedÕ.
1) Self-Reflection
What is Self-reflection?
Self-reflection is necessary to counter the tendency of doubting that good things will happen to us. Self-reflection essentially means: Talking to the ÔSelfÕ and telling your mind about the plan that you have for next year, next month, next week or even the next day. You can self-reflect to decide about your course of action for the next day. This habit of questioning your mind and getting the answers will lead you to the fine habit of Ôknowing where you stand and how you can progressÕ.
How to commit yourself to Self-reflection?
It is necessary to reflect upon your own thoughts and understand Ð Ôwhere are you going wrongÕ and Ôwhere are you going rightÕ. This method of observing your actions and learning from those actions is worthwhile, rather than regretting the past.
It is easy to tune into the self-reflective mode. All you have to do is contemplate and believe in the greatness of your mere existence and great things will begin to happen. If you begin to appreciate the smaller things in your life then you will value your own existence. And once you understand, the real meaning of value, you will certainly value your time, work and the satisfaction that you receive from the action of doing the work.
2) Difference between a Ôdrop of waterÕ and the ÔoceanÕ
It is often difficult to view the big picture and recollect its beauty; but committing to the self-reflection activity mentioned above will certainly help in viewing the big picture. However, first do not try to look at the big picture, it is for later. First, it is necessary to experience small beginnings and learn from them. The difference between a Ôdrop of waterÕ and the ÔoceanÕ is that the ÔOCEAN IS GRATEFUL TO KNOW THAT IT IS SO BIG, AND YET IT WAS A SMALL DROP OF WATER ONCE; WHEREAS, THE DROP OF WATER IS ALSO GRATEFUL TO KNOW THAT WITH THE HELP OF OTHER WATER DROPLETS, IT WILL ALSO BECOME AN OCEAN SOMEDAYÕ!
3) Commitment
The act of committing yourself to action is the effort required from Ôthinking about doing an actionÕ to Ôinitiating the actionÕ, and Ômaintaining consistency in actionÕ. It is necessary to acknowledge that Ð Ôwe as humans can commit ourselves to doing anything we want. And hence, we can either remain idle or become the being of actionÕ.
Did you ever wonder why you continue procrastinating? It is bad enough that we procrastinate but why do we continue doing so every day without fail. The reason is simple Ð we continue doing so because we are creatures of habit. Hence, if we can remain idle for days, then we can also remain active for days, weeks and months. A habit once formed is difficult to break and hence, if we commit ourselves to forming the habit of putting in little effort everyday then big results will certainly follow.
4) Reasoning
Simply asking ÔwhyÕ to your mind will give you enough answers. And if questions bother you a lot, you should only acknowledge them. I am not saying ignore questions or forget about questions. The basic characteristic of mind is its consciousness and consciousness can be experienced in every moment of the life. Consciousness can be perceived in your ability to think. Your effort to commit yourself to reasoning, self-reflecting and believing will bring success when you begin to envision clarity. This clarity will further strengthen your ability to self-reflect reason and believe in the cause.
5) Write it down
Writing down random thoughts can also make you feel lighter. Your mind is free to flow in any direction with its thoughts and hence it is essential to control it. A mind cluttered with unnecessary thoughts can make you feel burdened with complexity. Writing down your apprehensions is another way of countering the negative beliefs and sowing the seeds for the fruit of wisdom. DONÕT GIVE UP! BECAUSE IT ISNÕT OVER UNTIL ITÕS OVER, YOU ARE STILL BREATHING! ARENÕT YOU!
6) Less Planning, More Action
Many of us have the habit of doing too much of thinking and planning to the minutest detail. However, ÔThinking without doing is similar to nothingnessÕ. Hence, it is said that action speaks louder than words. Even understanding this phenomenon is enough to bring ourselves into the action mode.
7) Your work is a set of first steps taken to reach your goal
The ideal end product of your work is success. And your work is nothing but a series of individual steps taken to reach a goal. These series of steps will make you strong enough to accept and appreciate the power of success.
Thus, we should get our beliefs right and take those small steps to gain bigger results. RESULTS ARE A PRODUCT OF OUR UNDYING SPIRIT OF APPRECIATION TOWARDS OUR EXISTENCE. WE BELIEVE WE EXIST AND SO WE DO!
