How To Stop Making Those
Excuses
"To think too long about doing
a thing often becomes its undoing."
*-- Eva Young
"Don't fool yourself that important
things can be put off till tomorrow; they can be put off forever, or not
at all."
*-- Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's
Notebook, 1960
"Work expands so as to fill the
time available for its completion."
*-- C. Northcote Parkinson,
1958
Everyone of us find it so easy to make excuses for my
actions today. It's perfectly with in my right to stay in bed with a heating
pad and sleep (and I could). But it would not be the right thing to do.
In the end, there is always an excuse to keep me from doing what I need
to be doing for own success.
Tips to Push beyond the Excuse of Procrastination :
Make a list of all the positive things in life.
- Focusing on the positive is one of the easiest ways
to defeat the negative.
Sing.
- There is just something about the act of humming and
singing that lightens the heart and lifts the spirit.
Cheer someone else up.
- Send a note or card to a friend that is having a tough
time. The act of encouraging others will be encouraging to your own heart
and mind.
Have a back up plan (like keeping extra meals frozen for
easy fixing on days when the motivation level is low).
- Remember that some times the best plan is to have a
plan B.
Skip a chore or two to lighten the load (just be sure
that skipping the to-dos does not become the norm instead of the exception).
- Sometimes learning not to do everything can be a good
thing.
Ask a friend to help you out for a couple of hours.
- Sometimes just having the companionship will be all
that you need to lift your spirits up.
REFUSE to complain.
- Negative words and negative thoughts will only pull
down. Make an effort to speak and THINK good, positive and uplifting things.
Things are already looking up.
- My circumstances have not changed, but my attitude
about those circumstances has started to turn around. The excuses are always
available but that does not mean that I have to choose to give in to those
excuses.
Therefore, stop those procratinating with excuses and
take action.
