Lately, I’ve been procrastinating more often, and it doesn’t feel good.
There are a number of good reasons for it:
- I’ve had some serious jet lag and sleep issues, which means my mind is tired and just needs some rest. So I am trying to be patient and take care of myself.
- I’ve had a lot on my plate, and it’s been overwhelming. Not just work stuff, though there’s lots of that, but family stuff, too. So instead of holding myself to impossible standards, I have to be compassionate and allow myself to create some space, to simplify, to find a path that works for me.
- I’m pushing myself into lots of uncertain territory this year. That brings up fears. I’ve been running from those fears at times, through procrastination. This is natural, and I shouldn’t beat myself up for it. Instead, I can be compassionate and mindful, and find a path forward.
