We have all done it or
not done it as may be the case. We know
we need to get this or that done, but we just can’t seem to muster up the
effort to move forward, why is that?
Procrastination and
avoidance are prevalent and rampant throughout our society. Changing our life and our behavior for many
becomes difficult if not impossible for a variety of reasons; let’s look at a
few of these.
Lack
of knowledge.
How many times do we find ourselves desiring to this or that but believe
and that is the key word, believe we just don’t have the knowledge we need to
move forward, in other words, we just don’t know how to proceed.
Lack
of desire or interest.
I know, I know, I should move forward on this or that, I just don’t have
interest in doing so. I know it is
something I should do, but, I would rather do something else instead.
Lack
of time. Some of us do lack the time to make the changes we
desire to make in our life. We create business
in our life which makes it difficult to make the necessary changes in our life.
Priorities. It is just not a priority.
Here are several more.........
Lack the necessary
will.
We believe it is just
too difficult.
We don’t want to do it.
It is outside our
comfort zone.
We believe we are
better equipped to do something else or want to do something else we believe we
have more knowledge or feel more comfortable or believe we are better at.
It is just too
complicated or difficult and we desire to do something less difficult or that
we have done before.
We just don’t want to
learn anything new and are comfortable with our knowledge level we currently
have.
We ask, why can’t I
just find a job or vocation using my current knowledge level, why do I have to
learn something new.
I don’t want to learn
anything new, it seems difficult and complicated to me and I don’t want to put
in the time, energy and effort, it requires to move forward.
I like to do this or
that more, why can’t I just do this or that, why do I have to do something new.
It is like putting a
round peg in a square hole, I feel like a round peg and I want to fit in a
round hole and I am resisting changing my shape and fitting in a square hole,
because I like being a round peg and I am good at being a round peg and I want
to continue being a round peg.
It is just too much
work, too much to learn and I don’t want to learn what I need to and do the
kind of work I don’t want to do. I just
want to do what I know and not learn anything new, learning something new is
not something I want to do, it is just too hard.
I want someone to teach
me or show me how to do it, I am uncomfortable learning new things on my own, and
I find it too difficult.
I want someone else to
do it for me.
I procrastinate and
fill my time with other things I like to do more because I just don’t know how
to do what I need to do and I don’t want to take the time and effort I know is
necessary to learn the things I need to learn because even though I know where
to begin, it just seems to difficult and I don’t want to do it.
I don’t want to make
the necessary changes in my life that I know I need to make because I am afraid
of what I might become or the new world I will create for myself and I am
unsure that is something I want to do.
I know the here and now
and am comfortable with the here and now and there is no significant reason I
believe for making changes in my life that are larger than the life I am
currently operating in.
I am just not good at
or have the knowledge to do or learn the things I need to learn in order for me
to move ahead.
I just don’t want to do
it. I want to do something else instead
that I enjoy more and I know I am good at.
Technology has passed
me by and I don’t want to or don’t know how to learn the new things I need to
learn in order for me to move ahead.
Possible solutions
Baby steps. You don’t have to learn it all at once, take
one small step each day to learning the new things that will propel you to a
better future.
Do one small thing
every day and be consistent. Start off doing the thing you like the most and
over time you will be amazed at your progress and then the things you like to
do the least will come easily and you may even anticipate doing them.
Continually remind
yourself as to why you are doing the things you are doing.
Need help, seek out
help. Remind yourself of your priorities and the reason you are making the
changes in your life. Having a life coach as an advocate may help you change
your mindset.
Make a list of things
you need to do. Break your list up into
smaller tasks.
Schedule time to
accomplish what you need to do. Put it on your calendar.
