Procrastination - Listen To Your Heart And Stop Procrastinating

Procrastination happens when you have something to do and you put off doing it. The reason why you put these things off is usually because you are not doing what your heart and soul wants you to do.

For example, when you come down to planet earth your soul has only one thing for you to do. That could be to work with traditional Chinese herbs, or it could be to be a Shiatsu massuse or it could be to facilitate heart walks. Whatever it is you are on the planet to do then your heart and soul are constantly guiding you to go and do that.

Procrastination - Listen Within To Stop Procrastinating

So when you are feeling the sense of procrastinating, the question then becomes 'What is it my heart and soul wants me to do right now?'

Asking this question and listening to your heart will often give you the answers that you are seeking.

For example, just say you are studying a course at University and you have an assignment to do and just can't get around to completing it.

The reason why you can't complete it is probably because your mind is telling you a story about how difficult it is, how much time it is going to use up and how much work it is going to take.

However if you instead check in with your heart you can instead see whether this assignment you are stuck on is in alignment with what you are on the planet to do.

For example if you feel a pull to study traditional Chinese medicine and the assignment is about traditional Chinese medicine then when you check in with your heart you will probably find that you are inspired to write the assignment and get your work out there.

However if you check in with your heart and still find you have a level of procrastination then you are probably not on the right path. For there is only one path of the heart.

You will know you are on the right path when you are loving what you are doing. For example, I love writing these articles for this website. Right now I am inspired to sit down and write one of these articles each day. So I usually wake up before the sun gets up and write one thousand words or so to get the wisdom of 'source' out there. There is no procrastination because I just can't imagine doing anything else. Right now this is where the strong pull is for me.

So if you find that you are procrastinating on a project or something you are wanting to do, then the first step is to silence the voice within your mind. For example if you are procrastinating about a task then you will probably be using a lot of energy in your mind about it. It's probably in the back of your mind just waiting to be resolved.

Instead it is good to turn off your mind by saying to it 'Thank you for sharing'. As you say this to your mind you will probably notice there is a small pause in your thinking. A gap. The idea is to instead place your attention and awareness on the gap within your thinking.

Once you are in the state of no-mind you can then instead place your attention on your heart center. Your heart center is located within the middle of your chest. This place is located in the middle of your breast bone.

I find resting my fingers on my breast bone is a great way to place more attention on my heart center.

When your attention is placed on your heart center, you can then ask it a question such as 'What would you like me to do right now?'

Then the idea is to listen to your heart and the wisdom it is wanting to give you.

For example, if you are procrastinating about an assignment then with the intention of your assignment in mind you could ask your heart 'What would you like me to do right now?'

Your heart may then say things like:

'Be gentle, take your time.'

'Wait for inspiration, then write.'

'Write from your heart.'

You can probably notice here that the messages from your heart are quite short and to the point. For that is the way the heart talks.

You'll know when your heart is talking to you because then messages contain wisdom and not a lot of words. The voice of the heart often feels like a subtle whisper from within.

So when you are experiencing a state of procrastination, the best idea is to take some time out and to tune into your heart in order to re-align with your purpose for being on the planet.

To do this just go into no-mind and place your attention and awareness on your heart center. Then just ask a question to your heart and listen to what it has to say to you.

"Listen to the gentle voice within your heart... and bravely obey."

Then it is just a matter of doing what it is your heart is telling you to do. When you listen to the truth of your heart then there is nothing else for you to do. Again, the reason for this is that there is only one path of the heart.

When you align your actions with the messages within your heart then procrastination does not exist. For you are inspired to take action on the messages from within your heart.
