On The Other Side Of Procrastination

My dear Yogis and Yoginis,

Are you a person that procrastinates things?
Coming up with thousand and one reasons not to do something or finding something “more important” to do instead?
Procrastination can be a significant obstacle in both our daily lives and our yoga practices.
A simple and good example is cleaning. I see things in and around the house and think – I need to do this soon or it would be good to do this. But then days or even more time goes by. Finally I give myself a kick and take care of this one thing. The magic happens ones I make the decision, because it leads me to more tasks that I do without an other thought. It is almost like it takes on a momentum. In the end I sit there with a smile on my face, because it feels good (and probably looks good as well 🙂 ). This sense of accomplishment brings an instant
gratification with it.
Maybe you are a person who loves cleaning then this won’t speak to you. I am sure you know of an other area in your life where you can find yourself delay to take action.

In yoga we can practice going over the hump when we decide to do our practice even if we don’t feel like it. Or by pushing ourselves to approach postures we, for whatever reason, don’t like to do. Never know, there might be a surprise like a new feeling or victory waiting on the other side.

It’s essential to understand that procrastination is a habit that can be broken. We often procrastinate because we are afraid of failure or
perfectionism, which can lead to self-doubt and anxiety. To overcome it, we must identify the root cause of it and work on changing our mindset.

One of the most effective ways to overcome procrastination is to set achievable goals. Then break them down into focusing on one task at a time, which can make the process less overwhelming and more
manageable.
Another useful technique is to establish a routine and stick to it.
Having a consistent routine can help us develop discipline, which will form a new habit for us.

The benefits of overcoming procrastination are numerous. Not only can it help us achieve our goals, but it can also reduce stress, boost self-esteem, and improve our overall well-being. This way we can create more time and space in our lives to pursue our passions and enjoy the things that matter most to us.
