“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago – the second best time is now” – Procrastination

Often times when we procrastinate we trap ourselves in a vicious cycle of negativity.

We think to ourselves..

It’s too late to get started on my dream and I should have started a along time ago.

Next we think about the idea of starting and all the work that it’s going to take and all the time we already lost.

This cycle is overwhelming and leads us to putting off our dreams yet again. 

But in actuality all we have to do is start and then the momentum of the first step will lead us to the next step

Break free from procrastination with momentum

Once started, we can work towards our goals slowly and surely and remove the pressure and anxiety that we face in the beginning. 

We can find confidence in our work ethic and our ability to show up and try everyday.

Every small task we accomplish will help build momentum towards our goals.

Conversely, we can dwell on the fact that we should have started a long time ago and should be much further along right now.

Whether we choose to beat ourselves up about it or not, the truth remains the same. 

It is obvious that we should have started from the moment we first thought about starting.

However, that is no longer an option. 

So the next best time to start is now. 

Actually NOW is always the best time to start because it is the only available best option. 

We can’t go back in the past.

Every moment we reflect on not starting we are wasting more time and energy.

So if you’re reading this, now’s an opportune time to get started on living your dream.
