So it makes me REALLY happy when I am productive so why do I always procrastinate??

FEAR

"Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears " ~ Les Brown

Fear that even if you put in HUGE effort that you will still fail so you don't put in effort at all and therefore stall and fail.

Fear of losing someone you love to someone else so you hold back your love and they leave because they felt that you fell out of love with them even though the opposite is true.

Fear of giving without receiving even though the more you give the more you will receive.

Does this speak to you in any way? Have you ever encountered feeling like this at any point in your life? No matter how positive or negative of a person you are, you will have felt all the above in some fundamental form. It would scare anyone.

It is easy to say, don't let fear hold you back. But fear isn't a tangible form where you could pick it up and throw it away. This too needs effort. So how would you go about doing it?

Formula : Work hard on the opposite of what makes you afraid.

When you work hard on what you are afraid of losing , your body goes into paralyze mode inhibiting your ability to work on your fear. It's a fight or flight reaction.

Are you afraid of your partner leaving you? The opposite end of your partner is you, work hard on loving yourself so that even if he leaves that is solely because he is an IDIOT.

Are you afraid of not achieving success? The opposite end of success is failure, work hard to eliminate what makes you fail and that will propel you to success. If failure is something you are accustomed to ( and it's not a bad thing by the way) , you won't have any inhibitions on working on it unlike the elusive success that you worry on not being able to get.

I hope I have made some sense here and that this has helped someone :) Let's work on the opposites instead of running in the opposite direction!
