-for example is a common situation in which people can exercise choice -while illness has little to recommend it it does give us the opportunity to discover that all our monumental have to somehow get done without us or our survived even when left on done it also gives us the opportunity as we convalesce to watch often with great surprise the sprouting of an authentic desire to return to work suddenly -we find ourselves choosing to do what formerly we perceive as an honor his imposition one can easily imagine the ailing procrastinator in the bargaining with god stage of illness praying i promise i'll never procrastinate or complain about work again just let me get over this illness so i can peacefully joyfully in healthfully do my work -to experience that change and energy and attitude about work is truly remarkable and a wonderful gift dieters and people who wish to quit smoking often experience or rapid shift from resistance to commitment when faced with a life threatening situation or with pregnancy -the washington post carried a story about gina who's pregnant with her first child she'd been trying to stop smoking and trying to improve her diet for year -when jean i got pregnant outwit cigarettes and junk food in came breakfast her usual lunch of cashews in a diet pepsi was replaced by a sandwich and a glass of milk she now wanted to eat right -it was her personal commitment her choice not simply an externally imposed short you don't have to jump out of airplanes get sick or become pregnant to experience this powerful change in perspective -in your everyday activities listen to how images of past seventy and powerlessness are created by your negative self talk i have to work through lunch i have to get gas for the car i have to get gas for the car i have to buy a gift for my mother i have to go to the office part exercising your power of choice will give you the opportunity to redirect toward -constructive effort the energy formerly blocked by feelings of victimhood and resistance are you willing to live with the consequences of not doing these things how much for your would you feel if you made it clear decision about any of these tasks you do have a choice -you don't have to want to do the task nor do you have to love it but if you prefer it to the consequences of not doing it you can decide to commit to it wholeheartedly -once you decide you're going to the office party the gas station or the gift shop it makes sense for you to assert more positively and powerfully like the powerful adult you are that i'm going to the store i will be at the dentist it three zero pm i'm going to traffic court this morning -since you have made a mature commitment to the task rather than arguing against it you might as well be self nurturing enough to make it as pleasant as possible -even when the choices are rotten once you can exercise your power of choice in learn to embrace the path that makes the most sense to you in precisely because you have chosen to do it it becomes less difficult less painful and more quickly accomplished whenever you catch yourself losing motivation on a project look for the implicit have to endure thing -inking and make a decision at that moment to embrace the path as it is not the way you think it should be or let go of it -it's your choice learning how to say no children during your terrible twos learn to say no to almost everything this is part of their cognitive and personality development the development of a self separate from parents it might also be thought of as an assertion of inmate worth a concise way of saying no i don't have to do it -i don't have to do anything in order to prove that i'm lovable and deserving wouldn't it be wonderful to have that kind of certainty about ones worth as an adult -for many adults the only time they can say no i don't have to is when they're sick and can apologetically offer a week sorry i can't -but as soon as i'm able to sit up and take nourishment i'll be out there sleeping away trying to do what i have to even if it means endangering my health once again saying no is an important practice for procrastinators it lessens the likelihood the your russian to a task in order to make up for a perceived lack of worth a direct image surely stated no clears -the air much more quickly than a passive yes i guess i have to that you've been present and rebel against by procrastinating for procrastinators especially the ability to say no is a powerful tool for exercising choice -saying no is another way of saying i may be imperfect but i have enough self respect to say no i don't have do it's also one way to avoid taking on too much in feeling overwhelmed it's a way of asserting i know you can pressure me but you cannot threatened my sense of worth know can be used assertively and non defensively as -in know only time to think about that you know only time to think about that no i'm not as quick as you and i want time to give it the thoughtful consideration it deserved no no i would rather have a contract with terms i know i can wholeheartedly embrace that endanger the quality of my work by compromising know i will not -be paying that bill now and i'm willing to pay for the privilege by incurring your interest charges -developing fresh alternative self statements that involved choice commitment and the ability to say no is an essential step toward having a greater range of possibilities in working on any task and in changing from a procrastinator to an effective producer you'll find that the following system for reprogramming negative self statements will quickly get you started link -your old habits to automatic corrections in the positive direction of producers five self statements that distinguish procrastinators from producers after years of study in a thorough examination of my own procrastination and that of my coaching and therapy clients i've identified five negative attitudes or self statements that lead to progress -destination in distinguish procrastinators from producers while not every symptom will match exactly your own procrastination pattern identifying which of the five negative statements you use will help you to replace it with the positive challenges i've developed one negative thinking of i have to repeated throughout your day the phrase i have to -meaning i have to but i don't want to will give you a sense of ambivalence and victimization i have to but if i were powerful i wouldn't that justifies procrastination -having identified this self statement and the attitude of victimhood the underlies it you want to quickly challenge it with a statement of choice and an attitude of empowerment replace i have do with i choose to the language attitudes and behaviors or producers can be acquired through specific on the job practice -for example if you're at your desk looking at a pile of unanswered male in a list of unreturned telephone calls the first thing you may notice is that your shoulders begin to droop forward in a depressed burdened fashion -this is a clear signal that even if you haven't heard yourself say i have do you feel victimized rather than responsible and powerful -at that moment of awareness immediately choose to work or accept responsibility for choosing to delay use your awareness of a negative thought or attitude to reflexively shift you to the producers attitude of choice and power to negative thinking of i must finish telling yourself i must finish keeps you focused on the completed products somewhere in -the future without ever telling you where to start finishing his in the vague distance a long way from where you may be now in terms of skills confidence in perspective this focus will make the task seen even more overwhelming almost impossible it needs to be challenged and replaced with a solid commitment to starting now replace i must -finish with when can i start when can i start is the catchphrase of the produce it automatically follows any worries about finishing and being overwhelmed and replaces agitated energy with a clear focus on what can be tackled now it works like a feedback device that pushes any wavering focus back to the starting point of the project -and when it is impossible to start now when is the next time i can start works to preprogram you for a directed in easy start up in the near future with a clear picture of when we're in on what you will be starting -three negative thinking of this project is so big and important the feeling of being overwhelmed is made worse by thinking of a project as large and important what you are really saying is i don't see how i can tackle such a huge task this is very important this project has to impress everyone this is my one big chance in life -the bigger and more overwhelming the project seems to you the greater your tendency to procrastinate anxiety will replace the natural tendency toward motivation and curiosity as you overwhelm yourself with all the steps involved in the image of all that's at stake on this one important project -replace this project is so big and important with i can take one small step whenever you begin to feel overwhelmed by the large graham project that looms before you remind yourself i can take one small step one small step one rough rough draft one imperfect sketch one small hello -that's all i need to do now you can never build a house all at once all you can do now is poor the concrete for the foundation hammer one nail raise a wall one small step at a time you could never write entire book now you can only write one chapter a few pages at a time a single small step is something you know you can accomplish now -when this one manageable step is compared with the colossal undertaking it gives you time to learn to relax and to recuperate between a series of small steps with each step you will have time to appreciate your accomplishments to gain perspective on your direction and to recommit to your long range goals for negative thinking of i must be -perfect -telling yourself i must be perfect i couldn't stand it if i made a mistake will greatly increase the chances that your me procrastination to buffer you against the pain of failure and criticism it also means that part of your self talk is centered around condemning any small steps of progress is being insignificant compared with what you think they should be if -give yourself a perfect presentation a project that is beyond criticism perfect adherence to a diet or a spotless home you're setting yourself up for defeat in inevitable self criticism the more perfectionist and self critical you are the harder it is to start on a project that you already know will never be quite good enough holding on -to an image of perfection will make you afraid of seeing what your real product will look like he will keep you from preparing for failure with a plan that helps you bounce back and it will increase your tendency to abandon your project when confronted with a normal problem in the trotted with a normal problem and -developmental process ironically being a perfectionist in criticizing yourself about mistakes makes failures more likely and worse place i must be perfect with i can be perfectly human replace demands for perfect work with acceptance of not resignation to your human limits except so called mistakes really fee -the back as part of a natural learning process -you need self compassion rather than self criticism to support your courageous efforts at facing the unavoidable risks of doing real imperfect work rather than dreaming of the perfect completed project -you want to be especially gentle with yourself as you recognize that as a novice you must go through awkward first steps before you achieve the assurance of a master -as you learn to expect and except imperfect early steps on your projects you build in the persistence of a producer and you be better prepared to bounce back because you'll have a safety net of compassion for procrastinators blocked by an addiction to perfectionism i often recommend a direct attack to unlearn this insidious pattern try to be imperfect -intentionally do the first part of your project sloppily don't show it to your boss yet - - -made training - - - - -hello and
