Why Do We Procrastinate
Do you think maybe we don’t believe we will enjoy the task at hand? Maybe we are trying to avoid making ourselves unhappy, or fear we won’t do well. It Could be the complexity of a particular task. We could be just fatigued. I think for me it’s laziness. I hate to admit it but I really deal with this. I’ll say, I’ll get to that sooner or later or I’ll let my husband take care of that. I really am ashamed of my behavior and really need to work on procrastination and laziness. Lord forgive me…
Procrastination
Let’s dig deeper to understand what procrastination means I looked up the definition. Here are a few things I found. It’s the action of unnecessarily voluntarily delaying or postponing something despite knowing that there will be a negative consequences for doing so. I also read, procrastination tends to reflect a person’s struggles with self control, involves a degree of self deception, and perfectionism. Well I never thought that deeply about it, but it sounds like I have some weaknesses in these areas.
Fruit Of The Spirit
Well the Bible says to walk in the fruit of the Spirit and (self control) is one of them. Lawd!! Help Me! Lol. Not to bring condemnation on us but there are always areas of improvement for all of us.
So what does self control mean? This is what I found in the concordance. The virtue of one who masters his desires and passions, especially his sensual appetites. There is another word that the KJV version refers too, it is temperance. We need to master our desires toward what God wants, not our flesh! Woah! 😳 Lord help us crucify our flesh daily. Teach us to know your desires and passions not our own selfish ways of thinking and doing.
Also we shouldn’t have such a fear of failing or feel like we can’t accomplish the task well. We should step out anyway not allowing hesitation or the fear of not doing well or laziness to stop us!
Priorities
I really haven’t journaled or even use a planner. I’ve always heard that I should write things down to keep everything in a journal but I regretfully say I haven’t done that in my life, but as I keep pursuing the NEW me, I am going to start journaling and planning my life out better. I really feel like I need to start writing things down, prioritize my life, and get organized. So I am starting to pursue this by making a to do list, budget my spending, organizing paper work and bills, planning a daily schedule having a meal plan etc…
WHOS WITH ME? WE CAN DO THIS!!!
