So you’ve hit a dead end with that thing you need to do.
There is a task or obligation you know you “should” do but somehow you are just not able to make yourself do it.
Do you know that nagging feeling which says you are going to be late, going to miss the deadline or just simply not get what you aim for if you do not deliver something?
Bargaining! Something for something. You need to work in order to earn money.
You need to fill in an application in order to get a job.
You need to claim your rights in order to get that tax refund.
You need to do all those mundane works in order to achieve a desired outcome.
The only problem being, YOU JUST DO NOT FEEL LIKE DOING IT.
So you procrastinate, hope that somehow, that thing will solve itself.
Or evaporate and suddenly you are free of that obligation.
But that’s not so easy because that bill, that claim or form keeps staring at you whenever you open your drawer, open your emails or simply whenever you open your eyes.
You can’t stop thinking about it and that you SHOULD finally do it.
That happened to me this week with my dissertation for my iceskating trainers qualifications.
I was rather doing everything else but writing and researching.
Until today when it really hit me that if I do not deliver the work, I won’t get my qualification.
Now, do I want to be without it? That was the question for me to ask myself….
Am I willing to live without the outcome which that action will bring????
Nope! No, hell no!
So I refused to spend more energy on fighting with the idea of writing it and started doing it.
All it took to finish it within couple of hours actually was Just DOIING IT!
You too, can spend endless moments on contemplating the importance or uselessness of the said action which needs to be done which will lead to nothing.
You will spend much less energy on that thing actually doing it than torturing yourself to death with “God, why me?”
Is there anything you’ve been postponing for some time now?
Go and do it.
You will feel amazing! Accomplished and FREE.
And that is what you want at the end of the day.
Your Freedom is your choice and what you decide to do about it.
Then hush, go and finish it now!
And let me know what you felt when you did it.
I won’t tell anyone 😉
Love you, Andrea
