<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>What are you waiting for? You have plans and aspirations that you\u2019ve been putting off for years.\u00a0We\u2019re great at putting things off and convincing ourselves that we\u2019ll get them done someday soon.<\/strong><\/em> Eventually, we all run out of some days and our options become more limited. If you\u2019re not enthusiastically pursuing your goals, there\u2019s a reason. And it might not be the reason you think.<\/p>\n Most excuses are actually a form of fear camouflaged as another challenge.<\/p>\n Identify your excuses and take action today:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1.\u00a0A perceived lack of resources.<\/strong>\u00a0Perhaps you need additional knowledge, education, money, or time. This is the most common excuse for not taking action. These excuses might be accurate. You might not have enough time. However, it\u2019s up to you to make the time. It\u2019s up to you to find the money you need.<\/p>\n A lack of resources can\u2019t stop you if you\u2019re determined.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Using the lack of resources as an excuse suggests another underlying issue.<\/p>\n Find a way around your lack of resources. There\u2019s a solution available to you right now if you want to find it.<\/p>\n 2.\u00a0Your belief that you\u2019ll fail.<\/strong>\u00a0Maybe you\u2019re not afraid of failing, but you anticipate failure. No one would waste their time taking action if they expected a negative outcome. Use every tool at your disposal to change your belief. Try using logic or convince yourself that you\u2019ll give it a try anyway. Meditation, self-hypnosis, and visualization are other possible options.<\/p>\n Get expert advice or consider changing your objective to one that\u2019s more believable.<\/p>\n 3.\u00a0Fear.<\/strong>\u00a0The is the most accurate answer most of the time. Doing something significant involves change, both the change that results from success and the chance necessary to create success.<\/p>\n The most effective way to combat fear is to jump in with both feet. The apprehension that results from thinking about taking the first step is more severe than the apprehension that accompanies real action. Once you get started, the fear subsides considerably.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Fear has been around since the beginning of man. It\u2019s not going away, so it\u2019s important to build your ability to manage it.<\/p>\n 4.\u00a0A lack of motivation.<\/strong>\u00a0Why aren\u2019t you motivated? Is it due to fear or something else? A little success can create motivation. Starting a diet can be challenging, but your motivation grows after you\u2019ve successfully lost 10 pounds.<\/p>\n The solution to a lack of motivation is the same as the solution to fear: take the leap. Get started and hang in there until you\u2019ve experienced some success. At that point, you\u2019ll find that your lack of motivation is no longer an issue.<\/p>\n 5.\u00a0The need for perfection.<\/strong>\u00a0This could be the need to have ideal conditions before getting started or the need to accomplish your goal without experiencing any failure along the way. Perfectionism is just another manifestation of fear masquerading as a socially acceptable excuse.<\/p>\n There is no failure, provided you don\u2019t give up.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Expect that things won\u2019t work out 100% according to plan. Accept this fact and move ahead. If you\u2019ve been finding reasons to put off your plans to some unidentified point in the future, it\u2019s time to examine the reasons.\u00a0Fear is the biggest reason for chronic procrastination.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0It\u2019s your responsibility to determine why you\u2019ve been waiting. By finding an explanation, you can begin to take motivated action and see your dreams come true.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\nTake action. Taking action is the best way to reduce your fear. You don\u2019t need to be perfect. You only need to be \u201cgood enough.\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/justaskvictoriainternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Logo-Sign-12.png\" "\\"Just"){kind=logo}
