Are You An Avoider?

I don't know about you but I find that being constantly busy and getting things done has become a way of life. Most of us are always planning, reading, re-doing, writing and sorting through things..Nowadays we plan for everything..even our leisure time! However sometimes there are some things on our "to do" list that we just point blank don't get around to do...and this results in us becoming "An Avoider"!
The result? The longer we avoid it..the larger the task or making a decision becomes, which results only in us avoiding it even more!

Did you know that "the word tomorrow was invented for indecisive people and children"? said Ivan Turgenov!

Sooo ..what to do?

It s difficult to motivate ourselves to get unstuck in times of avoidance - mostly because sometimes our "avoidance" seems illogical!

However think of your decision to get "unstuck" along the lines of "jumping into the pool" rather than "wading in" slowly!!

When you find yourself stuck..ask yourself these questions..

1. What am I trying to achieve but can't because I am stuck?

2. Can I see all the possibilities?

3. If a negative outweighs a positive could I look at my dilemma in a new way?

You could try this...

What are your choices?
A versus B then B versus C

What factors will affect your decision?
List them in order of most to least importance ..be honest!

Family or friends
Money
Status
Time
Happiness
Weather
Others happiness
Well being
Safety
Work/studies

Now give yourself 1 minute max to
Put your option A B or C beside each
Factor..by pitting your instincts against the clock you will be able to gut check what is most important to you!

4.How sure am I about my decision?
Can I put my beliefs to the test?

Do you feel better, worse or the same ?
Would you be proud to tell your closest friend about this decision?
Is it likely you might change your mind later?
Is there any obstacle that could get in the way of this decision?
Are you prepared to handle the consequences of your decision?

5. Do I have a concrete plan?

If the answer is no..try the following:

Set a date and time when you will have made your decision to get it done..
be it making a decision or implementing an action!

Ask yourself what needs to happen in order for you to meet your goal. List every task you can think of ! (In no particular order)

Now.. Put these tasks in an order of that you can do NOW, LATER and MUCH LATER

Now take the first action!

You are on your way!

Congratulations! If you have followed this plan then it means you have taken control of your issue of Avoidance!
