Sedona, AZ (PRWEB) May 16, 2007
Hale Dwoskin, founder of The Sedona Method and a featured teacher in the #1 blockbuster bestselling book and movie, "The Secret," has just announced the most effective tips to overcome the self-sabotaging habit of procrastination.
In America, procrastination is on the rise. While only 5 percent of the U. S. population considered themselves procrastinators in 1978, in 2007 26 percent says they procrastinate regularly, according to a study by University of Calgary professor Piers Steel.
At the heart of all this avoidance, says Steel, is the temptation to do something else, which in the modern day is everywhere. Think about the many alluring things there are to do right now instead of that one thing that should be worked on…surfing the Web for funny videos, texting someone on the cell phone, catching a rerun of a favorite sitcom…the possibilities are endless.
Aside from temptation, people procrastinate based on the task's sense of immediacy, its value and whether they think they can finish it, Steel says. What's worse, though, is that procrastinating is not good for a person's physical or mental health.
"People who procrastinate tend to be less healthy, less wealthy and less happy," Steel said in a Fox News report.
Of course, one of the worst things about procrastination is all the time spent worrying, begrudging and dreading the task. Most likely, people put a lot more effort into thinking about how much they don't want to do it than it takes to actually put their nose to the grindstone and complete it.
How to Stop Procrastinating
Most procrastinators would like to stop so they, too, can enjoy the freedom and elation that comes with having the work done…and therefore having some time to play (http://www. sedona. com/lp-gettingaway. aspx) (without worries!).
How can this be done? The Sedona Method -- studied and verified effective by Harvard Medical School (http://www. sedona. com/html/Scientific-Evidence. aspx) -- teaches you to tap into your inner ability to let go of negative feelings and bad habits (http://www. sedona. com/lp-changinghabits. aspx) (like procrastination) that are holding you back. "If you allow yourself to let go of the resistance you will find yourself doing even the tasks you have long put off with ease. Resistance is just a feeling and can be let go of if you decide to just drop it," says Hale Dwoskin.
"The main cause for procrastination is simply resistance to the project that is being put off," Dwoskin continues. "You resist a task, put it off and then still have it as an ongoing burden, which generates more of the feeling of resistance."
