Procrastination. Maybe Later!
I was going to do a post on Procrastination, but I've decided to put it off until later.
In my attempt to launch my courses, I have discovered a whole new form of Procrastination! Do everything humanly possible to get everything done, but get nothing accomplished!
I apparently feel that I should have this all completed by now through the process of osmosis... yeah, that's not going to happen.
I'm finding I have to break things down into manageable pieces... that seems to be causing me to panic.
Why am I in a panic? I have NO IDEA! I just received my Instructors Materials, and I have no official start date as of yet.
I'm in this roundabout rut on how I'm going to launch the courses and monetize them instead of focusing on the creation of them...
Then there are the lucid moments. The moments at 4 AM when I KNOW everything!! If only I could remember what those tidbits are when I'm awake enough to put in the action plan.
I started this post to avoid doing my Action Plan. Every time I sit down to do it, I'm plagued by fear. Fear of Failure, Fear of Success... heck of a predicament to be in!
As I read this back to myself, I made a few realizations...
- I'm trying to produce 4 to 5 courses at the same time. I think I'll have to focus on 1 at a time... Lucidity has it's advantages!
- Fear of Failure. If you don't DO, you fail. If you DO and fail, you Fail better!
I'm still working on that Fear of Success thing... if you have any ideas, let me know!

If you take 'yourself' out of this situation and pretend that someone came to you with the same, perplexing, dilemma....What advice would you give ?
T,
One step, One course, one problem at a time... eventually one piece of the pie can end up as pi...
Good Sir! 😍
Shaunna ... the Fear of Success is much more common than most people realize ...
It is this fear which keeps us from achieving our true potential and is most often rooted in childhood experiences. Not to blame the parent (as they did the best they could) ... but as a child being criticized or not receiving recognition for something you worked hard on, can set the subconscious mind into a negative mode ... over-time we listen to our negative inner voice ... we are not worthy, are a failure, don't have the ability, lack talent ... etc.
These negative feelings can be overcome, but it takes focussed work to do so ... you have lived with them consciously or unconsciously all your life ... resetting your mindset takes focussed concentration ...
Hypnosis and Guided Meditations can help a great deal!
If you have any questions, I am happy to help ...
Thank You Allan!!
Hypnosis & Meditation are why I'm currently still classified as sane...LOL
Procrastination, I know it well. A lot of your post rings true for me. Sometimes I'm just overwhelmed in which case I can't get started.
I know the feeling Shaunna.... I have this panic feeling most of the time Im not sitting at my laptop working but I try to remember that I am not in a race, there is no bear chasing me, and I can do my time,..... but one piece of advice I do have for you...
Maybe the problem you have is where to start? Choose one course first .....start it where you like, do the last lesson first if you want... once you have the first lesson done, then you will be on a roll! So just jump in wherever you like!

Fear of success can be a big thing, just like fear of failure.
Fear of success can be tied up with the fear of change, in case being successful changes your life in some way.
We humans are creatures of habit and have a tendency to resist change.
1 step at a time, you can do this Shaunna.
Thank You Linda... Baby Steps help!
