How to stop procrastination
I have fallen on some hard times in my life. In the past in hard times I used this motto, “when life gets hard, get hard.” I used this before to handle the difficulties. But this time after I fell into hard times I have been making bad decisions. Not like morally wrong but just procrastinating. I’ve not wanted to accept the reality before me because it seems too hard too face. Now since I’ve been denying reality for months it seems like I’ve dug myself a hole. I’ve created more and more problems for myself by not acknowledging reality and by not choosing to be mentally strong. After I fell across hard times I kept saying to myself “I don’t want to suffer anymore I’m tired of this.” Like I said, I had many hard times in the past and I was able to “get hard” to overcome them. This time I’ve just been barely scrapping by. I’m tired of suffering! But I know the only way through is to suffer. But now my discipline muscle is so weak! I’ve dug such a hole for myself I have more and more problems. When I try to face reality I don’t even know where to begin. I’m in the terrible habit of procrastinating. I kept saying, “tomorrow I will do better, tomorrow I will face reality.” It’s just like I don’t want to suffer anymore. I’m tired of the pain and almost scared of it. But honestly, what I’ve realized is this. I’ve actually put myself through more pain by not facing reality. But procrastinating and running from the pain I’ve put myself through more pain. By choosing the path of least resistance I gave myself more problems. I have to dig myself out of this pit or I’m going to just keep spiraling downward. I’m desperate for any advice as to how to dig myself out of this hole? How do I build my mental strength and mental discipline I once had?
