Pam's Daily Wave...

Good Morning....and Welcome to Thursday 😊

Perhaps you've read the book, signed up and bought the ticket, packed your bags, and think you are most definitely ready for this next adventure.....but there you are - stuck at the starting gate!

You may be thinking:

• “I’m waiting for things to settle”

• “It’s just not a good time right now”

• “It would be better to wait and see if…”

• “I’ll wait to see if things improve”

• “I think I’ll wait until they are more open to my ideas”

Procrastination …. Often thought to be laziness or the inability to make a decision, procrastination can more often be rooted in fear. A subconscious safety mechanism that prevents us from moving forward if we are unsure as to the outcome – “I know this may be a prickly subject”, "I know this may make things worse”, "I know this may cause some angst”…..so if I put it off for another day, the beginning of the week, the start of the month – whatever you push it out to, you can remain in this safe, tolerable situation, just a little longer.

You easily convince yourself that you deserve just a few more hours or days of calmness, before you create a situation that may backfire and make you uncomfortable or unliked/unloved by some, that may cause tension, causing you even more worry. The longer we procrastinate or hold off on these decisions or actions, the more difficult they become to complete. This in turn stresses us out, which increases our anxiety, so we want to stay in our comfort zone for a little while longer, fear and anxiety have more time to eat away at our confidence and, so we want to put it off a little while longer……talk about a vicious circle!

What’s the worst that would happen if you just moved on your decision or action now? You've already done your homework and know what you need to do. I'm sure that it isn’t half as bad as the horrific scenarios of what may happen, that you play out in your head over and over again, whilst you procrastinate. Wouldn’t it just make sense to take a deep breath and jump forward?

Just Imagine how you would feel knowing that you had accomplished your task or had made that decision....😊

Until next time,

Take care, Stay Safe.....and "trust the magic of new beginnings" 💕

Hugs,

Pam
