Tendencies | Procrastinating
I have been wanting to start this blog for a while now. However, have found many reasons to hold it off. Will it add value? What should I write? Who will read it? However, as I think about it, these reasons are silly!
Why do we do this to ourselves?
I'm thinking of December - that is less than two months away - and the inevitable setting of intentions that we collectively part-take in.
I do think this is a tradition that has its merit, can be a playful exercise, but I would like to think we can check-in more often.
Reflection combined with action as an ongoing pursuit?
Let's call it:
'planning seasonal check-ins to keep up with our intentions (or add new ones)'
When I think of people I admire most, like my father and some of my dearest friends, it is always because they are self-motivated to explore their passions and creativity. They make life happen - not let it happen to them.
Also, my spirit animal is the magpie, loving sparkly things, a little mischievous, resourceful, intelligent, quirky creatures - the opposite of procrastination.
So, who do you most admire? What do you admire about them?
How do you think they got to where they are?
What could be your motivation to get that project started that you've been holding off?
So, to kick this blog off, I not only intend, but hope you’ll equally start off this season, by giving in to procrastinating-tendencies less - and instead honor your inner magpie.
Sending you love and beauty,
Jackie.
