Monday again, the perfect day to “start” something.

By Patty Vasconez, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (Guest Post)

Monday again, the perfect day to “start” something. This Monday, please DO IT – TAKE ACTION! You will never attain your goals simply by thinking and talking about them. You must take action!

What are the odds that you win the lottery without buying a ticket? Same than succeeding without taking action! Written goals, visualization, knowledge, positive thinking, affirmations, a good plan will almost always get you in the door, but it is action that seals the deal. There is no point professing you are going to be successful while sitting down taking no action. So you want a change? Well here it is: Without purposeful action, the only guarantee is failure and mediocrity! My cure for procrastination is a heavy dose of action, action, action. Don’t be just a knower and talker, become a doer. It's not what you know, it's what you do with what you know. Your actions speak louder than your words. People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do for they can see it and you could feel it and that sense of achievement will feel great.

I know from my own experience that it takes courage, commitment, focus, determination, motivation, feeling uncomfortable with change, mind and body connection to work all together but you have to begin somewhere, or you will not get to where you are going. Life is happening now, there is no rehearsal, every day is a debut night and procrastination is the devil. Take action now because no other time is better than now. The continuation of bad habits such as procrastination is a massive destruction weapon and it puts you in a prison of your own making, take purposeful action. Get out of jail! Isn't that how you feel now?

When you want to achieve something, there's distance between your current reality and desired reality. Procrastination increases the distance and minimizes the chances of success. No therapy session, no self-help book, no diet pill, no magic potions, no exercise video, nobody can do it for you, except you taking action. But probably you're always too busy, though not much gets accomplished. I’ve heard this one so many times. By the way, your fairy godmother has retired, so it's time to take matters into your own hands.

Let your body and your mind speak the truth! What are you so busy with that you cannot take care of your dreams, what are you afraid of? You don’t have to do it right, just get it going. You can adjust things latter.

It’s time to stop been a victim of everything...and believing that you have no choice but to suck it up and take it. Unless you take action to get what you want in life , life becomes a constant series of postponements, cancellations, and missed opportunities and you are the only one responsible for it and you are the only one who can take action and change it.

Postpone your fears, have your opening night, make your debut and use the full potential that resides deep within you waiting for you to TAKE ACTION NOW. Believe that you can succeed and that you are worthy of that success. Roll up your sleeves and commit to doing at least one thing daily to help you move in the right direction.
