GETTING
OUT OF THE GRAY AREA
Professional speaker
Rosita Perez has a great rhyme that goes, “One for the
money, two for the show, three to get ready, three to get
ready, three to get ready…” Can you relate? It's
such an easy trap to get stuck thinking, “Should I do
it now? Maybe. Maybe not.”
The gray area between
“yes” and “no,” which clouds your
mind with indecision and frustration, is easy to get stuck
in. This twilight zone is known as procrastination, an approach
that can stifle your progress toward your dreams and goals.
When you are stuck in the procrastination pit your energy
can get zapped out of you faster than electricity from a California
power plant.
The best way to
overcome procrastination is to make a simple choice, either
yes or no. Proactive as opposed to reactive, choice implies
responsibility. You’re either going to discover what
is holding you back and act on it or move ahead right now.
It’s as straightforward as that.
What task
or next step have you been getting ready for? Where have you
been procrastinating?
My request
for you is to make a choice. You have three options:
1. Choose
"no" and let it go. Simply embrace the fact that
you're never going to do it.
2. Another
choice is to decide when you will take action (a specific
date) and determine what that action will be. I'd suggest
sharing that commitment with someone to help hold you accountable.
3. Choose
one step you could take today -- even a small step -- toward
your goal. Then follow through as soon as possible.
Making
a choice is powerful. It will stop the procrastination energy
drain and provide you with new freedom and motivation to focus
on what really matters. What is your choice?
