If you are determined to cut procrastination out of your life stop managing your time and start acknowledging your feelings. By turning your attention to your feelings you are getting to the root of the problem. How can you put this into practice in your daily life? Well, here are 4 steps to overcome overwhelm and procrastination:
1. Face your feelings. The reason you are driven to procrastinate is because you
have some emotional discomfort around a task. You know this to be true because procrastination feels differently than just re- scheduling. You recognize the heaviness that accompanies procrastination, because it is weighted down with self judgement of some sort.
So, feel the uncomfortable feeling that is associated with the
task you so desperately want to avoid. Does it seem overwhelm- ing? Do you have some negative emotion attached to it? Those emotions are the reasons you feel driven to procrastinate. Feel them as deeply as you can. Bring whatever emotions you are experiencing to the fore-
front. Feel them as deeply as possible. How can you face those unpleasant feelings so you don’t have to distract yourself? First, notice where you are in the room; feel your feet touch- ing the ground, notice where the top of your head is, and feel your fingertips. These steps will bring you back into your body and ground you. Then acknowledge what you are feeling. If you need to take a quiet moment to ask what you are feeling, do that. Sometimes we feel discomfort but don’t stay with it long enough to really identify it. Say what you feel out loud. By stating out loud what you are feeling you are shining light on a dark spot, thus bright- ening it up so it is less scary.
2. Break up your task into micro chunks. Now that you’ve faced your feelings and dissipated them a
bit you can shift your attention from how you feel to what needs to be done. Take the task at hand and break it up into micro chunks. What are the individual steps that need to happen to complete this task? Write out everything. Do you need to call someone as part of it? Do you need to do a series of small actions to complete it?
The important thing is to break up the big task into smaller, bite sized actions. This will open up your willingness to start taking action.
3. Take one micro chunk at a time. By beginning a task, no matter how small the step, you give
your uncomfortable feelings the room to float away because the feeling is anchored to the thought of facing the task, not complet- ing it.
Remind yourself that even though you are uncomfortable, this feeling will subside. Your urge to distract is just a knee-jerk reaction that will make you feel even worse in the long run. If there is a task on your list that takes less than two minutes then do it right now. There is no excuse for not doing it. Unless your house is literally on fire, you can spare two minutes to complete a micro chunk.
NATURAL Hormone Replacement Therapy
hormone our bodies make, and not synthetic ones made by the pharmaceutical industry, which can be harmful as well as helpful. With replacement, patients report an increase in their psy- chological well being. PMS symptoms can be resolved, not uncommonly, in weeks. The medical benefits are a decrease in cardiac disease, vascular disease, strokes, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and even cancers. Because our goal is to return hormone levels to an optimal range, we test the following for any deficiencies: Thyroid hormone, which regulates temperature, metabo-
N
lism, cerebral function, and energy levels. It can protect against cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, memory loss, fatigue and weight gain. DHEA, which stimulates the immune system, can restore
sexual vitality, improves moods, and decreases cholesterol and body fat. It improves memory, increases energy, and has anti- cancer properties by enhancing the immune system. Melatonin, which influences the quality and quantity of sleep, is also an energizer, a mood enhancer, and an antioxidant. It has also been shown to decrease the incidence of nocturia (getting up at night to urinate). Estrogen, has been proven to reduce the effects of heart
disease, stroke, high cholesterol, Alzheimer's disease, memory loss, menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, skin thinning, the incidence of depression, and reverse the lack of libido. Progesterone, which acts as an antidepressant, mild tranquil-
izer, and natural painkiller. Bioidentical progesterone can elimi- nate symptoms of menopause, PMS emotional instability, headaches, and mood swings. Testosterone, which drops significantly in men over age 50.
This lowered level accounts for a loss of a man's sense of well- being, decrease in decrease in sex drive, loss of general muscle mass, increased abdominal obesity, osteoporosis, decrease in mental acuity, and decreased strength and endurance. And, yes, testosterone levels should be tested in women, as well. Testos- terone therapy can reverse the gradual sexual apathy that occurs over time, while also increasing energy, and strength.
