Overcoming Procrastination: Why Mindfulness is The Key

It rationalizes the shit out of anything that’s just a little bit uncomfortable and create excuses as to why we shouldn’t do something now. Those excuses are irrational, but sound superficially reasonable. 

Do it by:

1. Becoming aware of any negative emotions and the excuses your mind is telling you.
2. Learning how to deal effectively with emotions, as our natural tendency is avoidance .
3. Practicing mindfulness, which allows us to take action despite experiencing negative emotions.

• It helps in recognizing whatever emotions or thoughts we’re experiencing.
• It makes us more self-compassionate.
• It improves our self-control and emotion regulation abilities.
• It helps us tune out distractions.
