Comment on How Do You Do it All? by Stacey Shipman

Hey Lance! Thanks for stopping by. Focus is a bugger isn’t it? So much we want or think we should do makes distraction commonplace. Seeing possibilities is great, for some hard to do, but glad you are taking advantage of it. Hope you are doing well!

Great thoughts, Stacey.

And I very much relate to the idea of focus – and when I’m in that space (focused) – I am accomplishing much. The rest of what you shared, though, is so key – to make sure that focus is in the right direction for each of us.

For me, it’s also about exploring ways to step out of my comfort zone – and see the new possibilities that come from that…

I like the positive attitudes here And I love Tess’ description “as long as I
don’t unpack and take up residence.” That’s good. I’ve called it landing in
the ditch and rolling around in the mud and slime before realizing you
really can get up out of there.

Comment on Do You Worry About What Other People Think? by Dee

This has been haunting me for years. I have always been addicted to approval and the good light of everyone else. I try to remember that I’m not them and they’re not me and I never have to have THEIR feelings in my whole life. I also read a lot of self help books and they all say that its ridiculous to care. I am determined to get there one day.

Comment on Why I Procrastinate by Vicki Donlan

Vicki Donlan — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 15:03:27 +0000

Procrastination often stems from an early life experience of receiving no positive feedback for action or having problems disappear before they are acted on. The “if I wait long enough maybe I won’t have to do it at all” theory rarely works, particularly for adults, because if we don’t act there is no result.
Procrastinators can be turned into action-takers by setting up a reward system. When action is rewarded by positive feedback by others or even oneself- the behavior can be changed. So the next time you have the desire to wait before moving forward with the task at hand promise yourself something special – as small as a walk around the block right after you finish the task. You’ll get the job done, enjoy the reward and feel great about yourself.
