Putting things off

When we procrastinate, the mind has convinced us that is ok to not do something and do it later. The mind does not want us to be exposed to risk. The concept that we have will remain as that, a concept, and the purpose of life, experiences, is denied.

What if there is no later? There is no guarantee other than now.

Awareness and change

We can read every self-help book, seek every ‘guru’, watch all the TedTalks and we can get a coach.

However, change only occurs on the inside, when we are truly ready and, critically, when we are conscious. As in, awake in this moment and free from thought.

If we are within our mind and its repeating thought patterns, we will not be aware of our actual reality and whether we are changing or not. We have to monitor change and see if we are matching the new ‘version’ we want to be.

Change, of course, is personal and none of us are broken, we are fine as we are. However, if we choose to want to change, awareness is the key to be able to make that change real.

Lastly, it can only happen now. We can’t change next week, as that is just a thought of the future.
