Pushing through Procrastination

Ok guys I know we all have dreams, goals, and/or aspirations that we are all trying to achieve or accomplish.  What holds you back?

For me I know with confidence that it is my procrastination that holds me back from so many goals (including organization).

What can break you from that procrastination stronghold??



The answer to that my friends is quite simple......ACTION!!

What isn't so simple is the act of action on a procrastinated spirit.  (Hope that makes sense.) I am a procrastinator in rehab.....I'm working on myself and that is one of the worst habits I have.

Some of the tricks I use to break that mindset is to focus on the reward of completing a task.  For example I get super lazy when I come home from work and cleaning my house is the last thing that I want to do, but I know it must be done.  To keep myself from procrastinating I envision my home clean and organized, this motivates me to get the job done.  I also procrastinate with this blog, the proof is in the fact that I'm posting this a day late and writing it the day I am posting it!!



 Now I know that having organization and taking action will make blogging, or any other task, easier and more enjoyable but I have that pesky spirit of procrastination.  So to fight it another trick I use is envisioning you guys and all the people that I can possibly help by sharing what I'm knowledgeable in.  I love helping others so this is a reward for me.  Envisioning any reward helps me take action, so picturing my body transformation makes me want to workout!

Another form of motivation for me is knowing that I am killing my haters every time I score!!  I actually fuel my fire with their negativity, knowing that they are watching me secretly wishing for me to fail....but I keep winning!!!  It motivates me when I know that they can't stop me!!  That may sound a bit childish but I don't care it works!  It makes me push harder at the gym, it makes me want to make smarter food choices, it helps me push through any procrastinational thought I have (and yes I think I just made up that word??).   


I am my biggest problem and honestly speaking I am in no way an expert on problem solving, but what I do know is that procrastination holds me back and I have too much to prove to let me stop me!!!

My Interview with Sandra Crespo

Image
Ok guys, so I have read an amazing book called Breaking Your Limits: How to Create the Reality You Desire . It was written by a very good friend of mine named Sandra Crespo. I really enjoyed reading this book, she gives so much insight into her transformation in this entrepreneurial online business paradigm. As a full-time traveling family Sandra and her husband have had to think outside the box when it comes to creating revenue and income for their family.  In this book she shares how it took her several years and so much effort to make that mindshift.  Her chapters on self love and gratitude really blew my mind and I'm so happy that I get to share this interview with you guys!! Thanks for watching!!!

Progress Report!!

Image
Okay guys so it appears that it is time for a progress report on how my health and fitness journey is going so far. I am pleased to report that I've noticed a change in my body shape I do not weigh myself because I don't want to get hung up on a number but from here on out I will start measuring myself.  I see changes and I would like to document them in a more accurate and organized fashion. The changes I'm seeing in my body are really getting me fired up and motivated to keep pushing forward.  I am so curious to see just how much of a transformation my body can actually make. I'm nowhere near where I want to be but I know that I'm on the right path to getting there. I would rather focus on my small celebrations, such as inches lost, then on negative thoughts or self talk. Aside from watching what I eat and exercising as much as I can and let's be honest it's not as often as I want it to be I also am using a couple of different regimen. 1. Weighted...
