How to Eliminate Procrastination
๐The Story - One Way to Eliminate Stuckness and Procrastination ๐
What if you were to take just one bite of the apple, she said? What if, instead of thinking of the whole apple or the whole tree, you just had one bite, how would that feel? You see, I can easily get overwhelmed by thinking about:
๐The tree (a metaphor for my business)
๐All of the apples (a metaphor for each of the strands or task lists that exist for the business) - you know things like:
๐ social media posts
๐ creating a sales page
๐ making a new product
๐ writing your blogs and newsletters
๐ creating automations for your new course
๐ marketing
Or, how about I use the metaphor of the tree, but chunk it down to
๐just one apple from the tree at a time
๐Or better yet, just one bite of that one apple

What if I waited until the apple was fully ripen and fell from the tree and just picked up that one apple one bite into it one bite at a time.

My answer was so freeing - Iโd feel the weight of stress drop off. Iโd actually get shit done because Iโd only be focused on that one thing - one small aspect of the whole.
This post IS that one small aspect. Itโs just one piece, one post. Resisting the temptation to then sayโฆ.. Ah yes and now I can turn that post into a blog, then into a video thenโฆโฆ.
No, if I bring it back to just one bite.

Well, procrastination or stagnation invariably happens when we look at the whole tree. Iโm not saying we shouldnโt ever look at the whole tree - heck Iโm a big picture thinker and a projector. But when I do that, invariably it stops me in my tracks.
Iโve recently been working on my own shadow side (which I help others to do as well). Shadow work is so fascinating, enlightening and life changing but many avoid it. What Iโve found it thatโs my biggest asset, being able to shake the tree and look at what falls out. Being able to dig the soil up a little to see what the condition of the soil is like, what I might need to add or take away (metaphorically speaking of course). Thatโs the gold. If you can bring yourself to do that, then magic does begin to happen.
Avoiding taking one bite or waiting until things were perfect were getting in my way. For a long time I stopped myself because I didnโt have a simple way to explain what it is that I do. I didnโt fit within a label like โLife Coachโ or โTransformation Coachโ or โPersonal Growth Coachโ. I just didnโt feel I fitted that mould. But I also hadnโt found a way to explain it in a simple, no fuss way.
Then I realised, it hit me that my story was masking the 'avoiding taking one bite of the apple' thing, it was just in disguise. So today I thought, ok what if I just go out there and explain what it is, without putting a label on it. Just type and see what happens. So here goes:
I use my gift of intuitive knowing to get underneath the BS - under the programming that runs things in the foreground, which stops people showing up as their authentic magnificent selves. In a nutshell thatโs what I do - I'm a BS Shifter. I shift your BS Stories by facilitating the space and method for you to dig underneath to reveal the truth about what's holding you back.
There itโs out now, unrefined, uncomplicated, unfiltered. And itโs not labelled, just results driven.
