I really don't feel like...

Have you ever felt like staying in bed, instead of getting up and going to work? I know I have. I ended up going to work anyway. Usually on the commute in, I have forgotten about the misery of having to leave my bed. I am focusing on whatever agenda I have planned for the day. Okay here is another question, have you ever felt like doing anything else but what you need to be doing? For example, I need to call and make three new contacts but I really feel like cleaning up my desk. How do you handle the situation?

Procrastination...ugh! I suffer from it more often than I'd like to admit. I have read numerous books on the subject. Still I find myself putting off tasks that I know would yield success. If I asked Tony Robbins, he would probably say that my reasons weren't strong enough and that the pleasure I get from doing nothing outweighs the pain I get from putting off these tasks. I guess he is right. I mean I didn't put off going to work, when I really didn't fell like getting out of bed. I guess the pain of being unemployed outweighed the pleasure of continuing my adventures in dreamland.

Brian Tracey says that it's better to go ahead and just "eat the frog." The frog being the symbol of an unpleasant task that needs to be done. I don't know about that. I am never going to eat a whole frog. I have tried frog legs and they were yummy, but something about the rest of the frog makes me a little queasy at the thought. I know its the point that counts so I am changing the symbol from a frog to beets. I am not a big fan of beets but I will eat one if I have too.

I am totally in awe of people who are industrious and produce outrageous results in their lives. I know of one person who was a world class judo player, all the while going to school earning a PhD, and producing quality items to sell. His operation was well run. I am willing to bet he overcame his issues with procrastination. It really is impressive.

I know I can manifest anything that I can imagine. I believe that. Allot of people, even me, miss the one part of manifestation that is a requirement. ACTION! I can imagine a ton of money in my bank account. It will not get there unless I put my imagination into a plan of action then implement that plan. Oh man, I guess I got to do some work so I can get that ton of money I am imagining right now. I just don't feel like it...
