A procrastinator, by definition, is one who intentionally and habitually puts off the doing of something that should be done. I am an excellent procrastinator.
I prepare wonderful "to do" lists. I thoroughly research any and all published materials on whatever the project might be - from weight loss to home de-cluttering. I create detailed plans, outlining exactly what steps I intend to follow to reach my goal. But, I truly excel at finding ways to avoid just sticking to one thing at a time, until the goal is reached or the project is finished. In fact, I am convinced my multiple project approach to personal goals in life is one sure fire way to never get anything done.
I've made promises to myself. "today is when I am going to change". I've read countless inspirational books on how to take control of my life, how to focus my energy on specific goals, how to send out powerful messages to the universe - and yet, day after day, week after week, I find myself sliding back into my the comfort of mediocrity. It's like, talking about preparing for the "Big Game," all the while hoping you never actually get called in to play.
So, what's my real problem? Am I not truly committed to achieving my goals? Am I not really serious about living a clutter free life, losing weight, achieving financial milestones, improving my self-image? I sure think I am. But, every now and then, I cannot help but ask myself, "is there really anything wrong with just being an under-achiever?"
I would still like to achieve some of my loftier goals - to enjoy the feeling of a serene, clutter-free home - to experience being physically fit and height/weight proportionate. I have been successful in learning to be a happier person by simply choosing to be so.
I just want to put out there, if someone truly has found the way - the true path that leads to personal enlightenment, weight loss, tidiness and brings all good things - I am here, ready to join you and happy to learn all I can from your wisdom!
