A recent study by a group of statistics majors at the National University revealed that procrastination bleeds the average individual $12,000 a year. The loss stems from wasted opportunities, squandered resources, etc.

Are you one of the fatal statistics?

Change it!

One thing I discovered over the years to kill procrastination and achieve your dreams is to change the “Have To” attitude into a “Want to attitude”

Let me ask you, how many times have you whined and procrastinated because you thought “I have to take out the garbage”, “I have to go to work”, “I have to pay my taxes”??

When we approach things from a “have to” mindset, everything looks like a pile of dung. (more…)

If you’ve reached the end of your rope, STOP. Stand back for a moment to drink in the big picture. Then take a large sheet of paper and brainstorm. Write down everything that you feel led to this dire moment.

Keep writing. Don’t analyze. It’s time for a massive data dump.

Do this for 5 minutes.

Then stop. Step back and look at the sheet. You’ll see a pattern. (aha! Do I hear a “Voila”?)

Now you know what you might want to do better. What to avoid.

What new thing to try.

Now fold that up and ask yourself… what else can I do that’s different from what Im doing now?

Do the same data dump.

Then check for patterns.

You’ll surprise yourself!

The Alpha Male is the leader of the flock, the man who gets the largest slice of the pie. Step back and imagine what it would be like to become the alpha male.

There’s a secret: Positive Self Imaging.

Positive Self-Imaging is a holistic technique to catapult you to your destination. The method of mental bimaging gives you an internal map to your sunconscious and conscious behaviors. As you mentally focus on where it is you want to go, and you’re determined to reaching your destination, your actions often follow. Literally, your actions spring from your mental images. Precisely, you usually won’t move if you haven’t already visualized yourself mentally rehearsing the outcome. How you visually represent yourself, in any given situation, is what you transform into, and how you will act. When you solidify your images in a constructive way, positive things happen. Focusing on creating uplifting, pleasurable changes in your life buoys you with uplifting sensations of self-confidence and self-determination. (more…)
