Some people are born doers. Some people are born thinkers. Some think about doing and never get anything done. There are many ways to become a person of action and what works for someone else may not work for you.
Action people are usually people who are organised and seem to know exactly how to proceed from one project to another seamlessly and without effort. Others flounder in a world of disorganisation, haplessly moving one piece of paper to another location without knowing why. At the end of the day, the doers typically have more energy than at the beginning as they feed on taking action.
The flounders at the end of the day are still floundering and can’t understand why nothing has been accomplished and they feel exhausted. They step back to assess their day’s accomplishments and deceive themselves into believing progress is being made, when in realty little or nothing has been done.
This is procrastination and it is born of fear. Better to dither than to start something and fail! Or even, what if it all turned out all right? Where would you go then? What would you do next? Above all, what would everyone say?
It sounds daft because in reality nobody thinks that way. But subconsciously, if you’re a flounder, one or even both of those things are happening just beneath the surface! Test out the thought processes for yourself and see if either of them have an uncomfortable ring of truth.
One way that procrastinators waste time is by making lists. This looks like activity, but of course all that gets done is that a list gets made but the tasks on the list never see the light of day! If that’s you, try visualising yourself completing your task and feel good – in your mind – about having it done. You can generate the energy to do it with this method, but only if you have broken through the fear barrier beforehand. Otherwise it can just be another way to dither!
To do the process, sit quietly, clear your mind of all other things and concentrate on your task or goal at hand. See yourself doing the project in vivid detail. Whatever the job entails imagine yourself doing each and every step. Fantasise about it, if you will.
Thought waves become energy waves as you focus your mind on one central thought. These energy waves build until you feel the energy surging inside you pushing you into action.
You’ll build up so much energy you will be forced to act. At that point, take action. It could be just a small part of your overall project but let yourself be compelled to action. This energy will dissipate, so do as much as you can before it leaves your body.
You’ve probably worked with a mind energy force involuntarily. There’s a problem you’ve faced during the day and can’t find a solution. Clear your mind, concentrate on the problem, even sleep on it and seemingly out of nowhere the answer becomes clear and you can take action. A happy attitude is imperative. Most people who are happy are active. Associate with happy people. Change the way your think and you will change the way you act.
