Procrastination is one of those mysteries of life.
You know you should do that thing, you know it’s the right thing to do, that’s it’s good for you to do it – yet still you keep putting it off!
WHY??!!!!
We’ll get to that later, but first…
Why some procrastination may be a good thing
Of course, if you did actually try to do everything you needed to do at once, as soon as you knew you needed to do it, you would soon be overwhelmed. Your tasks are not all equally important, or equally urgent. It makes sense to schedule what you have to do, give yourself time to do things properly, and pace yourself comfortably.
But it’s not that easy, is it? There seem to be certain tasks, or certain undertakings, that you always put at the back of the queue. You will do them, of course. You mean to do them. You know how important they are. But you’re just not going to do them right now, and putting them to the back of the queue means you can put them out of your mind for now.
Out of mind is… out of mind
Trouble is, once out of your mind, they really are out of your mind. You don’t pay them any mind. Until one day they jump up and bite you. “Hey! Here I am! You haven’t done me yet!”
And you have to rush around and do whatever it is as fast as possible (which generally means not as well as possible).
Sometimes they jump up too late. You don’t notice till the penalty demand comes in. Doubly painful.
When habitual postponement is sabotaging your life, it’s time to stop
Now everyone has put off a task or two at some time or another, and forgotten all about it, and paid the price. It’s no big deal to do this once in a while, and take it on the chin. It’s human!
But if you regularly put off things that you really should be getting on with, and if as a result things are not going as well as they could or should for you, maybe it’s time to face up to that dilly-dallying and tell it where to go.
How hypnosis can help you stop procrastinating
If you really want to understand what procrastination is, you need to understand the difference between the conscious and unconscious minds.
Because when you know you should do something, when you know it’s the right thing to do, that’s all conscious. All thoughts. All froth.
Compared to the unconscious mind, the conscious is a 5-stone weakling.
When it comes to motivation and drive, it all comes from the unconscious mind. Which means, if you want to get properly motivated to do something, you need to engage the unconscious mind.
And that’s why hypnosis is so good for tackling procrastination.
The Overcome Procrastination hypnosis session is designed to turn that conscious knowledge into powerful unconscious drive.
As you relax and listen repeatedly to your session, you’ll notice that you:
- connect with a deep inner sense of purpose and determination
- feel much more in command of yourself and your choices
- no longer battle with yourself daily about getting things done
- understand and take care of your own needs so much better
- know how to recognize and deal with temptations to delay
- get much more done – at the right time.
And as you start to understand – at a deep level – the difference between conscious thought and unconscious power, you’ll develop the ability to manage your own mind much better. And so in the future, you’ll be able to create your own unconscious motivation easily.
