There are many times or a lot of times where I keep on delaying getting a task done or working on achieving a goal or a dream. It's a constant battle with my own self, with my procrastination. A battle that seems too impossible to win.
Since I am also the type of person that only feels better when I get things done, I feel like in order for me to be happy and satisfied in life, I have to work on my procrastination ; this mental delay, a handicap, so that I can feel better. Maybe I like the adrenaline rushing through my body as I am getting rushed to finish a task to make it on the deadline. However, I realize that this only causes me much more unneeded stress and therefore is a bad habit that I needed to work on and eliminate altogether.
I have been trying to work on this bad habit for a long time and I found that what had helped me work on eliminating this bad habit is:
Sometimes we tend to think that life is all or nothing. That achieving our dreams and goals are giant steps that we need to be ready to make or stay put. The destination is too far to see that we rather give up than be faced with pain and frustration. But goals and dreams can be big, yes they can be HUGE. Dreams that can seem too big to achieve or too impossible to fathom. However, I found that if I start a big goal by taking one step at a time, time really just flies by. If I have a big task on hand that I don't even know HOW to start it or impossible to even be able to finish it. I take one small bite, one small step, even if the finish line is nowhere to be seen.
So my advice to you is TO START. No matter how big the goal or impossible the task seems, take it one small, even a tiny step at a time. It is better to start today than never. Take it one bite at a time - There is No mountain high enough.
When I feel like I have a goal that's too big to reach, I am reminded of the story of the "turtle and the hare". As long as you keep on moving, as long as you keep on doing something that will get you closer and closer to your goal. You will surely get there.
