I’ve been battling with procrastination feelings for a while, trying to start this new blog/newsletter and expecting that this platform would have a similar or same amount of features than other better known ones.
After listening to some active meditation sessions about procrastinations, I realize the first step to get rid of those feelings is accepting they exist, and that they are a delay. Delays are an inevitable part of life, but procrastination is the willing and conscious putting off things, regardless of us knowing that we will feel worse later for not doing those things.
Procrastination is rather an interesting topic. But I’m not gonna go deep into it because at this point, it makes more sense to do it on another platform, maybe perfect my tweets. Even though I already have some things to write about, I keep procrastinating writing because I can’t manage my emotions correctly. I end up putting off the things I set myself up to do because I can’t stop comparing myself to the rest of the people that have been doing content creation on the platforms that In like.
The most important thing to know from all of this is that there is no point in comparing one self with whatever all the rest of the people are doing.
Drift like a cloud…. flow like water.
So many things I’ve been wanting to do and achieve, stay in the to-do pile because I end up consuming more content, believing that I am still taking notes from other people participating in that economy. It’s not a matter of fixing your ideas. It’s just a matter of putting them on paper and rearranging them to see how they work. Nevermind what the rest of the world is up to. What is important is that yoy yourself may find solace on the activity that you decided to spend your time on, and not think about all the other things that you coulv’e been doing instead of this one thing; the one thing that requires all your focus and attention, because it is the one that turned out as the top priority in the things that you wanted to do.
