Wanting to control everything
By procrastinating, you hold the most control over whatever task you’re working on. However, this also means, obviously, that that particular task isn’t being done.

Benefits of journaling

Journaling can ...

How to Build a Daily Personal Journaling Habit
Integrating journaling in your daily life
The biggest mistake is to journal only in reaction to something that is going on, instead of letting it be part of a system.
Make writing in your personal journal part of your every...
Benefits of a journal
- When you keep a journal, you can look back on important life events to read about how you felt at the time. You may also be able to learn from these past experiences.
- Writing about traumatic events results in physical and psychological health benefits. Journaling focuses on understanding traumatic events and makes people see these events with an extra level of clarity.
Schedule journaling time
Start your daily journal off on the right foot by scheduling your writing for a set time every day.
- If you find your mind is most active in the morning, wake up 15 to 20 minutes earlier and jot down your thoughts then.
- If you prefer to record everything after the day is over, then make it an evening activity before you go to bed.

How positive psychology tools bridge the gap between thinking it, and being strong enough to do it!
The gap between knowing and doing
We often know what we should be doing, but find there is a gap between knowing it and doing it.
What sets us in motion is usually external. We may suddenly have no choice, ...
Why you can't do what you should do
A potential answer comes from Robert Dilt's logical levels of change, modelled in a hierarchy.
- Purpose (What else?)
- Identify (Who?)
- Values and beliefs (Why?)
- Capabilities (How?)
- Behaviours (What?)
- Environment (Where and when?)
Change that begins at the bottom does not affect the next step up unless you make an effort to climb. Change that starts at the top will filter down naturally.
Behaviour starts instinctive and conditioned
- A child learns about the world through reflex and conditioning. A baby cries, and someone comes to help. They do something and get rewarded.
- Then behaviour becomes reasoned and chosen. As a person grows, so reflex and conditioning are replaced by desire, choice, reasoning and consequence. Physical development is also occurring. We may think and then do, but also do and then think.
- Positive change needs to appeal to both as it needs to challenge ingrained habits.
