I’m such a procrastinator. I think that most would agree that procrastination has plagued mankind since the discovery of fire. Why do we do it? If we just got it done then everything would be right in the world. The reason that most struggle with procrastination is because of a lack of motivation. Well duh doctor, I could have told you that. Hold on let me explain. Human behavior is molded from 2 basic needs. 1. The need to avoid pain 2. The need to gain pleasure That’s it in a nutshell. Pretty much everything you do, you do because of these 2 needs. Let’s use an example. You’re a young bride to be and you were just featured on “Say yes to the dress”. You’ve found the dress of your dreams and you go and celebrate with family and friends. The planning is stressful and families can be …well you know how families can be. You have been eating, drinking and not working out because there is way to much to get done. The problem is you have a fitting coming up in 3 weeks. You have been under such stress that you’ve been gaining weight. You know that you must change your current behavior or you will never fit in that dress. Ok, tomorrows the day. You’re really gonna buckle down. Doesn’t happen. WHY NOT? It’s more painful to lose the weight than it is painful to get fat. As time keeps ticking, the clock is running out on ever fitting into this dress. Now you are faced with a dilemma. You’re in pain either way. If you are one of the lucky ones, the pain of potential embarrassment from your family and friends, let alone the cost of a new dress, MOTIVATES you. Your brain has finally made the shift. Now it is more painful to be fat than it is to get in shape for the dress fitting. You finally get in shape in the nick of time and the dress fits. Unfortunately all of the insane workouts and calorie restrictions necessary to finally fit into the dress in 3 short weeks has exhausted you and you sleep through your wedding . Welcome to Procrastination. Wouldn’t it be easier to get in shape immediately and stay that way because you love the pleasure you get from it? Just saying….
