Motivate me: Your thought processes
I cannot believe how much time I waste on things that do not matter. My thoughts wander off like a child running through a meadow following the elusive butterfly. Racing along, not bothering to check where I am or what I am doing. I waste my day, dreaming, thinking, plotting, deciding, resolve that says I won't do this and that, I will do....ooh look there's another butterfly isn't it pretty.
My thoughts aren't necessarily negative, just not productive. I know I have things that I need to do, yet my thoughts if you could see them in a great big speech bubble would tell a different story. Am I thinking about what needs to be done today? Those things I have to do tomorrow? Those things that I need to do to move my projects forward?
If I were honest i have to admit, that a small percentage of my daily thought ramblings are planning ahead, deciding what to do, what not to do. But the remaining thoughts that escape into the ether are jumbled, contradictory, I tell myself that I want to stop doing something, and then conveniently forget and go and do whatever it was I said I was trying to stop.
It's easy when you have clarity of thinking, those rare breakthrough moments that signal the clutter has finally been left behind....but don't look now, it's catching up on you...to know what you are doing wrong, what you are doing right and those things that you need to in the mean time. But as I said to you earlier, those moments in time and thought are rare. Well they are - if you are truly honest with yourself. How do you know when you have broken free of the clutching clutter? Answer: When everything falls into place. You can move forwards with whatever you were doing, you have a determination that says "I will" "I can" "I am worthy of everything" How long do those moments stay?
It's time to put those thoughts to work, because it is thoughts as we have discussed many times before, those thoughts create your reality. I know mine have. But even mine can be improved. Overcoming the procrastination habit is possible, it is likely - if you can think it, you can do it.
