We all suffer from procrastination at some time in our life.
Some of the problems and solutions are detailed below.
Problem:
People procrastinate because many are paralysed with fear of failure, loss, pain and some, success! What we fear becomes our reality.
Solution:
1. Fear is ?False Evidence Appearing Real?.
2. 90% of what we fear never becomes reality.
3. The best way to overcome fear is to do what we fear.
4. It helps if you visualise the worst-case scenario and accept it as a possibility and realise it will probably never come to pass.
5. Our imaginations exaggerate negative fears completely out of proportion and in most cases never occur!
Problem:
Few have a strategy to accomplish their goals.
Solution:
1. Make a contract with yourself.
2. Identify specific rewards for positive action.
3. Establish certain penalties for procrastination.
4. Break your goals down into small steps.
5. Schedule a time segment for each activity.
6. Give yourself rewards for correct action and penalties when you do not follow through.
Problem:
Many have a lack of discipline. It takes 30 days to break old habits and establish new ones.
Solution:
1. Create a Success-Habits-Reminder card to record your daily activities.
2. Tape it to your bathroom mirror.
3. Stick it on your desk to keep track of your actions.
Problem:
Most people do not have a plan or assign priorities.
Solution:
1. Create a ?To Do? List.
2. Determine immediate, intermediate and long-range goals.
3. Plan the goals that are in immediate reach of your abilities and assign priorities: Important & urgent, Important but not urgent, Not urgent or important.
4. Do the urgent & important tasks first.
5. 80% of your activities are not important to your goals.
6. Only 20% are urgent & important.
7. Learn to eliminate the 80% activities that do not help you attain your goals.
Problem:
Many try to complete the most urgent & important activities at the last moment.
Solution:
Every day schedule a block of prime time to work on an important activity that is due in the future. Soon you will find the time to analyse and polish your projects many times before they come due.
Problem:
There never seems to be enough time to contemplate your decisions
Solution:
Schedule quiet time to make important decisions. Listen to relaxing music that balances both brain hemispheres. If you do not schedule time for exercise, rest and entertainment, you will spin out of control.
Problem:
You are overwhelmed.
Solution:
Learn to say, ?No!? to activities and individuals that do not contribute to the attainment of your goals. Often, people take advantage of your kindness and generosity without ever realising you have better things to do with your time.
Problem:
Most people do not have a master plan.
Solution:
1. Create a master list of all personal, spiritual, physical, emotional and financial goals for 1 year.
2. Assign priorities for each.
3. Predict a date for completion.
4. Write everything in pencil so you can change it.
Problem:
Few people use an organiser or daytime planner to coordinate their activities.
Solution:
1. Transfer the things on your master list to the correct dates in your organiser.
2. Check off each item as it is completed.
3. At the end of each day, reschedule the things that were not completed.
4. If an item is rescheduled twice, you are procrastinating.
5. Ask yourself, ?What if I never do this??
6. If the answer is, ?No big deal!? Delete it.
Problem:
Some people suffer from perfection paralysis.
Solution:
1. Make the decision that you are not perfect and never will be. Everything you do will be imperfect in some way.
2. Realise that if it is worth doing, it's worth doing wrong until you get it right.
3. Stop judging yourself according to your accomplishments.
4. Learn to trust yourself by developing intuition and following your hunches. You will find your first premonition is usually the correct one.
5. Discover just how right you are by making predictions and observing how a high percentage of them are correct. (Predict the line at the supermarket or bank that will move the fastest and take action accordingly.)
6. Make quick decisions in 20 seconds or less.
7. Make your decisions the correct ones by believing in your choices and acting with confidence.
8. In difficult situations, flip a coin, choose heads or tails and then observe how you feel about the outcome of the toss. Your response to the coin toss will help you make the right decision.
A last word?..
Procrastination has to be learnt; we are not born with the trait of procrastination. That's means if you suffer from procrastination, you can unlearn it. Use the tips above to learn new positive habits.
We all know the importance of the consumption of the foods and nutrients to support health and to strengthen the immune system. But the elimination of the waste products from the body is even more important as these un-eliminated substances lead to the toxin build up in the body. It is detoxification and cleansing programs that help us to get rid of these unwanted and potentially harmful elements from the body.
The toxicity has become a big issue particularly in the 21st century. Add to the common problems of air and water pollution the radiation of nuclear pollution and side effects of the drugs and range of antibiotics. The increasing cases of cancer and cardiovascular disease are the direct consequences of growing level of toxicity. In addition to that the chronic symptoms of headaches, fatigue, backaches, gastrointestinal problems, and weak immunity all are associated with the rising level of toxicity in the body.
We are all exposed to the environmental pollutants daily and that account for the toxication of body on the external level. Toxins enter our body from environment by inhalation of air, by ingestion of foods and contaminated drinks.
In the internal level, toxins are produced inside the body itself as a result of the body's normal everyday functions. The by products of body's various biochemical and cellular, activities need to be eliminated. If they are not eliminated, they disrupt the normal function of body at cellular as well as organ level. Even our overstressed minds are the potential source of biochemical toxicity.
The elimination of these toxins is essential to health. The human biological system is however provided with the normal mechanism of flushing out these harmful chemicals. But toxin becomes a cause of worry when your system receives toxin beyond the level of toleration; there is a problem in the reduction of the toxins; or there is a slow down in the processes of elimination. These are the situations where a detoxification program comes to your help. The detoxification helps our system to relieve itself of toxins and wastes and resume its basic functions to gain back health and vitality.
The body's general detox organs include the lungs, liver, colon, GI tract, kidneys, skin and lymphs. Detoxification is a kind of transformational therapy that sparks off changes on different functional levels. These changes in turn lead to healing. Detoxification displaces the years of toxin build ups and helps them get eliminated through the different eliminative organs of the body. Once much of the chemicals are driven out, we start feel lighter and more energetic.
Detoxification involves all processes that support the elimination of undesired element from the body. As for example drinking plenty of water helps us eliminate huge amount of toxins. Consumptions of fresh organic fruits and vegetables, fibrous foods and lesser amount of animal products also account for increased elimination and detoxification.
