Procrastination - why can't I just get on with it?
As often happens in these conversations, we quickly identify that procrastination isn't a true 'thing' that can be defined or identified. It's a mind-made label given to an activity that the self-narrative 'thinks' should happen in THIS time frame and which is happening in a different time frame.
The tension arises when 'we' do battle with life, believing it should go our way and not life's way.
And yet, as we continue to explore - when we come to see more and more that we are not the do-er, not the decider, not the controller - we see that everything is happening in the only way it can.
Think of times you've not done something 'to plan' and yet it's worked out perfectly. Or when delaying saved you a whole load of unnecessary activity. Or even when delay meant something went 'wrong' and yet later turned out to have been the best result.
When we attach to ideas, we are lost in imagination, and we suffer - the perfect mechanism to wake us back up!
