Procrastination

So here it is last minute and I have reports due. Although I knew these reports were due weeks ago I still left it to the last minute. Why? Well I've realized that I work better under pressure. I noticed that if I start something early it's not as good as if I start and finish it at the last minute. Some people think procrastination is laziness but I've spoken to quite a few people who work best under pressure. For the longest time I would have such a guilty conscience, I would beat myself up for having to rush to do something but if this way works for me then really what's the problem? I'm a firm believer that we need to do what works for us as individuals and not by what we're conditioned to do / think. This is what works for me and I have no negative feelings anymore. Now having said that I should go do those reports!!!!

Is it really a problem or a solution waiting to be discovered?

I woke up today with a great attitude, until I got out of bed. If it wasn't one thing it was another. Around noon it dawned on me the " problems " that occured really weren't problems just solutions waiting to be discovered. I was so focused on what occured, the negative, and not the solution, the positive. The old cliche..." It could always be worse." dawned on me also. The solutions really were within me....change my attitude, do the best I can within my reach, acceptance.....things all within my control.

I'm not sure if it's human instinct to think of the negative right away or if its a bad habit for certain individuals. I do believe it's the latter of the two. So with this and knowing I am a creature of habit, I have to change my ways, my thoughts. I have to constantly be aware of how I'm thinking and once I start on that negative path I have to change my thought process right away. Yes it will take lots of practice but practice makes perfect!!!! The reward is so great as well.

I do believe whatever is put on my plate I can handle!!!!!
