Putting Things Off Until Later, Procrastination – Intentions for Prayerful Reflection

Procrastination is the pathological postponement of everything until later, which since the 1990s has been treated as one of the psychological disorders (or an element of, for example, depression or some personality disorders).

Technical matters regarding the idea and sentence-building method when working with intentions.

The word (–not) added during intention work means that it is worthwhile to also mention its opposite or independently find and express synonyms together with their opposites.

Example:

— being poor, sick
It is good to also say its opposite:

— being poor, sick; not being poor, sick

This allows a given pattern to be activated broadly in different aspects, including its opposite.

It is also worth knowing that Souls often think or claim that they do not possess opposing patterns.

Another example:

A woman’s Soul denies ever having been a bad mother. Therefore adding negation:

— being a bad mother; not being a bad mother —

may help it understand its condition.

“No way, never in my life! These are not my patterns. What I do is my private matter.”
— Very often says or thinks the Soul.

Written down by Łukasz Szczęk

It also happens that we lack motivation, and motivation itself can help in overcoming procrastination. Small rewards work best.

Set yourself clear rewards and reliably follow them. For example, after every completed task allow yourself a 20-minute nap, a good coffee in pleasant company, or simple relaxation.

Imagining relief and satisfaction after completing tasks can also strengthen motivation.

At the same time, avoid punishing yourself.

If you fail to complete tasks from your list, that is alright — try again tomorrow.

Then continue day after day until one arrives when you begin something, change the habit of postponing everything, and free yourself from many fears that may have been governing your life.
