Procrastination is opportunity’s assassin.” - Victor Kiam, American businessman, Remington Electric Razors (1926-2001)

Of course you have people who know their procrastinating is a serious issue, but they continue to do it. They always feel that tomorrow they will have time to work on it, but they never make it a priority. It is important to remember one common Law of Attraction - what you give is what you will get. This means if you are someone who procrastinates then others just like you will be around.

Yet this doesn’t have to be the way things turn out for you at all. You can make a decision to stop procrastinating. You can make a choice to work hard to achieve your goals and to focus on only positive sources of energy. This means even when things don’t go the way you wish they would, you find the good in it and you continue to work for your goals. If you are spending your energy though in a negative way and procrastinating you aren’t going to be successful.

Not all categories of delays turn out to be due to procrastination though so you need to cut yourself some slack. Give the situation an honest evaluation though to determine if it is your fault or something beyond your control. If it is due to yourself then work harder to accomplish your goal of not procrastinating. Reward yourself when you complete projects early or on time. Give yourself small time deadlines for the overall project so you can focus on staying on task and on time for completion. If you don’t always succeed though get up and start working at it again immediately.

Here is a good example to help you understand how procrastinating can affect your given situation. You may have a nice affair to go to in the evening so you have all of your items laid out and ready to go. You may get dressed though and realize there is stain on your dress. You will have enough time to either remove it or to change into something else. As a result the situation won’t be ruining your night out. If you waited until they last minute to get anything ready though that stain can be stressful and cause you to be late.

What is the true factor behind your proscratination? Many people will soon discover that it has to do with the emotion of fear. They use procrastination to hide behind so they don’t have to take any risk. They are so frozen by the thought of not succeeding that they never allow themselves the opportunity to try. This isn’t something that you want to allow to happen to you though. That is simply feeding into the negative energy that is out there. Visualize yourself as succeeding and changes are you will.

In order to get past this though you have to be willing to step outside of that form of thinking. You have to be willing to put the procrastination in the past and move forward. You have to see yourself in the role of being successful so that you will have positive energy instead of negative energy. You need to use the Law of Attraction to help inspire and motivate you to reach for what you really want from life.

Do you often feel guilty after you have procrastinated? If so, you aren’t alone but the point to focus on is how you are going to successfully change your behaviors. You need to let go of that negative energy and replace it with motivation and inspiration so you can generate positive energy as well.

If you are interested in getting past your issues of procrastination here are some great places to start:

1.Write it down Write down your goals and put them up in a place where they will catch our eye frequently.

2. Make it manageable - If you procrastinate because something seems to be too big for you to tackle then you need to break it down into pieces. You can set smaller goals that will be stepping stones to achieving the entire thing. Make sure you celebrate these small successes too as they will certainly help you to create even more positive energy. Each of the smaller goals that you achieve will help you build confidence in your ability to control what does take place in your life.

3. Get started today - Don’t put it off and let the negative energy of procrastinating take over. You need to decide to start RIGHT NOW. Take those first few steps and it will feel great! This is definitely going to inspire you to keep on moving forward instead of succumbing to your old behavior of procrastinating.

4. Dangle a carrot - Motivate yourself by having a carrot out there. When you achieve pieces of our goal you can give yourself that reward. It can be something very small and even something that doesn’t cost anything. It needs to be a reward you will really look forward to getting though. When you lack motivation you can turn to this to keep going.

5. Forgive yourself and you will be happier. If you make mistakes then accept responsibility for that. Instead of allowing negative energy to take over while you are kicking yourself in the butt for it, learn from it and move on. Stay positive and take a close look at your goals again. You definitely need to be able to stop procrastinating so that the Law of Attraction can work for you.
