What keeps you stuckI am starting see that what keeps you stuck is that you identify yourself with your thoughts or your feelings, or both.

Bad news: Thoughts and feelings are reactionary: Without a circumstance changing, neither of them will change, and life will continue to go downhill.

Your thoughts and feelings can only change when something else changes. Why? Because thoughts and feelings are like a thermometer. They are a reaction to something else… Thermomenter reacts to the temperature. Feelings and thoughts react to some other circumstance.

Unless somne circumstance changes, nothing will change.

Is your not doing the thing procrastination? Can you beat it?

Delaying hard work is all about your mood… or how you feel.

As I have written earlier, the biggest problem with today’s humanity is that we think that our feelings need to match what we want to do.

The fallacy is: if I don’t feel like it, that means… that I shouldn’t do it. I’ll do it when I feel like it…

It’s almost as if you have given your life to the weather to direct it: when it’s sunny I’ll get up… etc.

Your feelings (and your thoughts!) are like the weather: completely out of your control. Of course the idiotic gurus suggest that you can change how you feel by words, or whatever, they even say, gasp, tha

I thought I would report on the Moneyroots workshop… given the seemingly no interest… Four people, the same four people paid for both workshops.

That made it very easy for me: I didn’t have to repeat anything… I am not good at repeating, my brain isn’t good at that. My brain is like the adventurers of the North Pole… may stop to sleep, to refuel, but then it charges on.

Anyway, forgive me when I say it: anyone who didn’t sign up is a moron.

This is a second article about procrastination and it deals with an aspect of “not doing what you said you’d do” that needs to be talked about: choosing something easy to do instead.

Something that comes easy to you, something that uses up your time, takes away your attention to what you said you wanted to do… and leaves you with no energy, no future, no self, no integrity, and no gusto, no elan, can’t find an English word… real pleasure in life.

So, what are the things you do, I do, to avoid growing, to avoid the discomfort of the action that would take us to where we want to be?

One of the most counter-cultural distinctions that came from Buckminster Fuller is the trim tab, or small actions that turns big ships.

I have been working with my core group… and some of them I have had a difficult time to see why they never put out, why they never do what is theirs to do.

This article to unwrap that issue… and look at behavior differently. The student is judgmental… Has high, impossible standards for others… So let’s see what she could do so she could become a productive person, and maybe love herself…
The dysfunctional family
Here are some behaviors that I say come from this kind of upbringing… growing up in a dysfunctional family.

How do YOU waste your life? How do YOU leak?
A student of mine watched a movie last night. In the movie she heard the following dialogue:

“Thank you for saving my life” “Don’t waste it.”

She cried. Later her husband was picking a fight with her. She stepped back and didn’t react.

An hour later the husband came downstairs. She offered him tea. He apologized for his behavior.
Why am I sharing this with you? Because one way or another we are all wasting our life, or most of it.

The most useful question I have found to snap me out of this wasteful way of being is:
What is using my perfectly good life right now?

Here are some examples. All are life-wasters that you can eliminate by bringing consciousness to life… stopping for a moment, and choose…. Helping you with that are, of course, the the activators.

A friend of mine is having a hard time.

As an empath I have the bad fortune to connect to whoever I think about. So I am sitting here, having all kinds of bad feelings. I am on the verge of crying. My stomach is lurching… I am feeling my friend’s feelings, right now, this very moment.

Not pleasant.

He has been at it for many years, longer than I have known him. Hoping for a miracle, for a business, for a million dollars, that he could make without having to become different, without h
