From My soul to your Eyes...
Consider the situation temporary. I seem to often revert to childhood experiences and learn from them. When I learned to ride a bike and I fell, I just got up without thinking about it and rode again and fell and rode etc. I knew the falls were temporary because I believed that I could ride. I knew that at that moment I had a problem, but the key is "right now"- is just a moment in time that soon will be gone forever. IT is just a beginning point for my journey that will lead to a solution to the problem. What matters most is where I end up - and I believe it will be somewhere better than when I began!
Don't Face the Situation Alone
It is always wise to share our situations with others. There will always be someone willing to assist you in solution finding and will not listen to whining. Ask them to hold you accountable once you have arrived at a solution.
Find Strength in Challenges
We cannot always completely control the events in our lives, but we can control how we respond to them.
Smile
Smiling releases endorphins (hormones that trigger feelings of happiness)so don't wait until you are happy to smile- smile to make yourself happy! Ridiculous you say? Just try looking at a photo of yourself with people you love having a great time and not smile- it is almost impossible.
Be open to Change
We change- people change- the world changes- accept it. It is inevitable. The only way to remain positive and happy is to embrace change and take pleasure in the surprises that come your way! Changes we fear often make our lives a whole lot better.
BE the Change you want to see and see what happens in your world!
To Today!

Ten Ways to Stop Procrastination
Here are some ways to stop the BEAST!
Step 1: Redefine and refocus on your values and most important goals. Are your goals meaningful to you?
Step 2: Prioritize and write down the actions you must take to get your tasks and projects done.
Step 3: Identify and rid yourself of pointless busywork to clear hours from your schedule each week.
Step 4: Set a starting time and date and a completion time and date for each important task or project. Time management is most important and not to be confused with laziness. Write this information down on the same sheet of paper you wrote your Plan of Action on. This is now also your Personal Action Sheet,and you are to work through your projects until completion.
Step 5: When the start day and time comes — START! Plan projects in phases; however, when it’s time to work, work. Do not blow any phase or part of your Plan of Action off until tomorrow. Stay motivated- little steps of praising the process always works.
Step 6: Stay true and committed to the activities that will get you the results you want.Eliminate the distractions that will pull you off of your path towards completion. Your ultimate goal is completion and the enjoyment of stepping up to your Personal Action Sheet and “FINALLY” scratching or checking off your completed task or project with the words VICTORY-Find an accountability partner. Someone who will help hold you accountable to your goals.
Step 7: Reward yourself. You should always stop and personally reward yourself in the end. You’ve worked for it and you’re earned it. So, create a list of five to ten ways you would reward yourself for finishing each portion of the project.Choose one or two personal rewards, depending on the importance and size of the task, after completion.
Step 8: Journal. Take five to fifteen minutes to journal about your experiences with working this particular project through to completion. What went smoothly? What were your challenges? Who helped you? What resources did you call upon or learn about? Did you start on time? Did you finish on time? Where, if at all, did you find yourself procrastinating? If you did this project again, what things would you do differently?
Step 9: Move onto your next task or project. No stops in between- just rewards.
I now personally plan Five(5)MAJOR things that I want to accomplish each year — and they are non-negotiable.I often accomplish alot more small or medium sized tasks each year; however, my FIVE MAJOR and IMPORTANT things are a must.
10.Decide to accept the tremendous opportunity that is already available to you. STOP the excuses, and make this the moment THE moment you break free into real, effective, purposeful, and meaningful action. You will eliminate anxiety slowly and will be on your way to overcoming procrastination forever.
