A Change Agents Guide for putting an End to Procrastiation and Self Doubt

Hello Fellow Change Agents

Your mission should you accept it is to put an end to Procrastiation
and Self Doubt in your life.

Self doubt and lack of motivation are the cause of personal failures
in the lives of millions of people. Not living up to your true potential
can lead to anger and depression. Overcoming procrastination and
building a positive self image is not impossible. There are some very
practical steps you can take that will lead you to personal success and
keep you motivated. Fear of failure (or success) and a lack of energy
leads to procrastination.

People who procrastinate become frustrated and generally
accomplish nothing. To change this negative behavior,
you must first identify the things that cause you to procrastinate
in the first place. Feelings of fear, rejection, and unworthiness take
a real toll on your self-esteem.

Taking steps to improve your self-esteem will make a huge
difference in your energy level and will motivate you to make
other positive changes in your life. Human beings are motivated
by two things: pleasure and pain. Make a list of the things you would
like to accomplish and how you will reward yourself when you do reach
your goals. When you are making your list, be sure to include the
consequences you will suffer by procrastinating. Keeping the reward
in mind will make it easier to stay motivated.

Overcoming irrational fears and phobias are crucial to your
self-esteem and energy level. The act of procrastinating itself
creates self-esteem issues. Guilt, stress, and anxiety are results of
low self esteem and lack of motivation. Procrastination is a habitual behavior.

You can break the cycle of self doubt and procrastination
if you make the decision to do so. Keep a list of the things
you need to accomplish, both long and short term goals, and
reward yourself for each thing you cross off your list.
It is not easy to break old habits, but it can be done and soon
you will find that the new behavior is second nature.

Keep in mind that your emotional health is closely related to
your physical health. A sensible diet and exercise will do wonders
for your self-image. You will find that when you make an effort
to change your negative behavior you will have more energy
and your self-esteem will soar.

Procrastination will no longer control your life and you will
be motivated to accomplish your goals. You can change your
self-image and become a highly motivated individual if you
take the time to find out why you lack motivation and take
steps to improve your self-esteem.
