![]() So you don’t feel like doing it….that’s ok! Do it now anyway. A great definition of discipline is to “do what you have to do, when you have to do it, whether you feel like it or not.” motto is to remember that your feelings have no say! Your feelings are never a part of the equation. The biggest reason we don’t “do it now” is because we just don’t “feel’ like doing it now. In the morning, when you wake up, do it now! Throughout the day, do it now! When it’s time to eat, to work out, to make that tough phone call, to finish working on that project, to starting a chore, do it now. The more small, seemingly insignificant battles you win each day, the more you begin to shift your mentality and build momentum. Winning the battles inside begins with a decision that you will not give in to the negative mindsets that are holding you back from being all that you can be. There may always be part of you that wants to put things off but there is also a part of you that wants to be disciplined and productive. The most important battles in your life are those internal battles inside. There’s no question, it’s a battle! But it’s a battle YOU CAN win. Think about how much happier you’d be, and how much more you would accomplish in a day if you did this. This means if it can be done now, then it should be done now. You can begin to break the habit by simply adopting the do it now mentality. It is a habit…an attitude…a mindset that as you get older tends to become more of who you are, and more of how you see yourself. Procrastination is not something you are born with that you cannot overcome. The good news is that if a habit can be learned, it can be unlearned. A study done by the American Psychological Association showed that the number of people who procrastinate is on the rise, and that it makes people less healthy, less wealthy, and less happy. Many people have developed a bad habit of procrastination! Psychology Today reports that nearly 20% of all people chronically put things off. Doing this one thing will literally change your life: It’s the “Do It Now” mentality.
