Procrastination is just one Habit

Procrastination is usually considered a bad habit as it is thinking about something we feel we should be doing while we are doing something else. It is delaying, or putting off, a project, doing something for someone else, or going somewhere we don't want to go. It may be unpleasant or difficult, or just something we don't feel like doing. People who procrastinate, or have other bad habits, are often plagued by guilt and berate themselves. A solution regarding habits like procrastination is to simply feel the emotions of not wanting to do what we really feel we should be doing and accepting how we truly feel on the inside. Acceptance helps free us to make calm, thoughtful, and rational decisions; rejection of our feelings and emotions makes us run back to our bad habits for comfort and a vicious cycle begins. We seem to look away from our flaws and mistakes, in other words, deny them. We need to see them and address them quickly and continuously accepting everything that happens without condemnation. Procrastination is just one habit we may become anxious over, not exercising may be another. I don't know about you, but I have a list. It seems strange, but our habits are comfortable because they are what we know and there is often fear of the unknown. Then too, giving up a bad habit may lead to liking ourselves better which we may be uncomfortable with as well, sabotaging is a real thing. So, the best way to improve a bad habit is to first accept it unconditionally, feeling the feelings, then visualize what we would like to do (eliminate or substitute), and lastly, make a conscious choice out of the positive rather than the negative.
