Many people may procrastinate and engage in self-sabotage because they are afraid of failure, lack confidence on their abilities or having difficulty setting and achieving goals.
A little understanding the conditioning of the human body and the brain in relation to what your body cells are conditioned to doing. There is a certain rule set that your mind and body is accustomed to, and when we decided that we are going to stop and do something amazing that your inner programming is not accustomed to, eventually, your inner programming wins.
The good news is that there is new information available that helps us understand why procrastination starts and how we can overcome it.
Here are 5 STAR Points that will help you address the issue of procrastination and self-sabotage and shift yourself into the direction you intend to go. Four of these you probably never heard before.
- Self-Mastery beats Knowledge Mastery. I say this to say that you already know what to do, but you don’t do what you know it’s a self-mastery issue. Self Mastery can help you understand your motivations, triggers and habits related to procrastination and self sabotage. By better understanding yourself, you can learn how to overcome the behaviors of procrastination.
- Open up to your Subconscious. This is where the programming of your limiting beliefs lives. Something inside of you is telling you that this not going to happen because deep down you don’t really believe it. Opening up to your subconscious can help you overcome limiting beliefs and negative self-talk that may be holding you back. When you address those things, you attempt to change your subconscious wiring, and this can help you believe that you can do it and you become more proactive to ending self-sabotage. If these two tips alone are resonating with you, I have a resource to share with you that will help you understand how this works. This brings me to my next point.
- Body Cell Mastery or Breaking Cell Inertia. Earlier, I mentioned your body cells being conditioned. The truth is that environment beats will-power. Your body adapts to the environment you put it in and that’s the Law of Conformity. Law of Conformity is environment beats will power overtime. An easy way to explain this is examine which environment is your body cells conditioned to living in. If your body cells are conditioned to moving south all the time, they are not going to easily allow you to go north because they are not dressed for that weather and they enforce you to move back into the direction in which they are adapted to living in. So, when your inner programming is set one way, your cells are not equipped to move because you decided to have one change in thought for the moment. This is when the negative self-talk, self-doubt and self-sabotage creeps in and tells you to do things you normally do and not that new thing you want to do that normally do. Okay, is this making sense? I hope so. Once you understand that it’s no you. There’s nothing wrong with you. It’s just the body cells waging war against what it’s used to. Breaking Cell Inertia is something I encourage you to keep in mind when procrastination comes up. Once you move your body cells past this, it helps you overcome habits of inaction and get moving towards your goals.
- Engaged Neuro Conditioning. There is a saying out there that goes like, “All successful people train for the marathon, not the sprint.” Your brain must be engaged enough to attract and hold the attention of the desired goal in order to complete it. Training your brain for the long run helps you recondition your thoughts because you are now quite aware that unexpected things happen in a marathon and you engaging in the activity of allowing your brain to be re-conditioned as needed. You will be able to adapt to change and your body cells follow that adaptation. Your body cells always send messages to your brain to fit the way you think. They want to fit the clothes that they are conditioned to wearing. Be able to change the wardrobe of your body cells during the process will help you stop procrastinating.
- Commit to effective action. If you don’t take action once you break the cell inertia, your body cells go back to their previous default. This is part of mastering yourself. You are aware what your body is doing and telling you what not to do and you have the tools to adapt to the engagement of a different thinking pattern. Now you must act before the old thinking patterns starts to kick in again. Comitting to an effective action plan is the key to ending procrastination and self-sabotage. This involves doing the very thing you were procrastinating on from the beginning. Take action on that while your cells are agreeing. The only reason they are agreeing is because you changed your mind. In conclusion, by taking these points and making these shifts, you can develop the internal skills and the mindset necessary to overcome procrastination and self-sabotage to achieve your goals. Now, since you know this, go do that thing you have been procrastinating on because you Think Like a STAR.
