Well, not yet anyway. I just wrote that title up there so, hey…. give me a chance here!
So sometimes it’s like, “umm, you have not written an article lately.”
“You’re absolutely correct. I have not.”
“Well?”
“OKOK. I know. I’ll get right on it ((holding fingers crossed behind my back)). But first I gotta cut some firewood for the stump-burning. And I really should tend to the lawn and plants. Look at those leaves!… plus it’s a glorious fall day…”
“STFU and do an article, OK?”
“OK.”
The Actual Article
Or
WTF Are You Waiting For?
In the world of neuroses, glitches, attachments, gremlins or evil spirits there are a hell of a lot of varieties of darkness to go around. Let’s look at conditionality and procrastination, the two bastard brothers who love to stop you.
What’s conditionality? Let’s bring this down to a level we all can understand: “I’m gunna lose 10 pounds… as soon as this cold goes away”.
“I’ll go running when it warms up outside”. Uh-huh.
“It would be great to be doing the work I love!… but first I need to take more classes and get more certifications and modalities, plus yadda yadda yadda.” Right?
Always “when… then”.
Look, I know there’s a time for everything, and lordy knows I have had to learn patience myself. But basing one non-action on another non-action equals… what, kiddies?
Freaking ZERO! Picture Sam Kinison screaming it! Z-E-R-O!! Nada…
And then Procrastination gets to do his thing. Once ol’ Conditionality has set things up, now Mr. P settles in. It takes on a certain pattern. Like when you say you’ll go running when it warms up… but when it warms up you forget, or are busy.
Stop the bullshit. Thinking about doing it is not doing it. There’s a difference, champ.
Take a piece of paper and make a sketch of Conditionality and Procrastination. Make stick figures, whatever you can manage. The more detail the better. Horns, horrible grins, missing teeth… do them justice. Then burn the freaking sketches. Gone. Grind the ashes into the ground beneath your heel. You are the do-er.
You.
Hi Debbie,
Thanks for your comment.
Yes, you didn’t get to where you are overnight, so getting somewhere else will take time as well.
Anyone in the world can work with me – I have clients in Singapore and South Africa. 🙂
Peace.
Hi Michael and thanks for all your wonderful words support and kindness. I do not have problems with procrastination or excuses as l do everything that l can to help myself. However maybe l set my goals too high or as you say ‘just haven’t worked out my own take on abundance’ yet. I would love to listen to your webinar and l even signed up for it, however l know l can’t participate in anything you have to offer as l live in Australia. Just another example of me not being in step with the Universe.
Don’t beat yourself up at all… just go ahead and pick a thing and do it. 🙂
WTF I was just writing in my journal about not doing the things I know I should do!
