• How to stop procrastinating through DECISION

Most people need to be cornered to make a decision . And when you get to this point it means that you are in front of a crossroads; it is therefore necessary to be able to manage the conflicting emotions inherent in the decision-making process . It is no coincidence that when we have to make a decision because we can no longer postpone it, we feel a knot in the stomach, we shake during the night or, even, we sweat cold. These are very natural emotional reactions: making important decisions - which can change our lives - can be compared to a sort of inner civil war . Armies of opposing emotions, endowed with each of their own reasons, contend for the supremacy of our mind.This is because our decisions, bold or prudent, hasty or pondered, can direct our actions and our existence in one verse rather than in the opposite direction. Obviously, every decision-making situation is different: there are no universal strategies: the only advice I can give you is not to keep it impaled. You must stop procrastinating. You have to decide! Believe me if I tell you it's much better to make bad decisions than to not take them at all. It is important to confront one's inner turmoil and put order in one's moods , rather than avoiding them by postponing decisions.

• How to stop procrastinating through DESIRE

Desires can arise from within or can be triggered by external forces. There are countless things that can arouse a wish : it could be a song or a film that touches the strings of the heart. It could be a masterly voice sermon or a conversation with a friend. But even negative things instill the desire : to be in front of an enemy or to live a bitter experience. The desire for revenge, in fact, pushes people to act and to stop procrastinating. Then indulge your desire and use it to push yourself forward in your life: do not erect barriers to protect yourself from life's experiences; rather lively! The walls that are erected for fear of disappointments often keep away from our lives even those experiences that could enrich us.

• How to stop procrastinating through RESOLUTE
  The decisiveness is that emotion that leads us to say with conviction and firmness: "I want it!". When we have an existential purpose that becomes a reason for life, there is nothing that can stop us . Nothing can be opposed to the feeling of resoluteness supported by willpower . To stop procrastinating also means knowing how to concentrate on what you want without being intimidated by difficulties. A climber who wants to get to the top of a mountain, just thinks he wants to climb the mountain. He does not think that it is too high, distant, rocky, impervious or demanding. When you are willing to do anything to achieve a goal - even to put your future into play - you are driven by an emotion so intense and strong that everything becomes possible. But how can one become resolute? I think that being resolute means promising oneself that you will never give up. Others may even doubt us, but we should never doubt our possibilities! Ask yourself the following question: "How long am I willing to work for the realization of my dreams?" I advise you to answer by telling you that you will work on it until it is necessary.. So you will become a resolute person !

• How to stop procrastinating through DISGUST

The word "disgust" usually does not evoke positive images. However, if properly channeled, the excitement of disgust can spur us to stop procrastinating. If you get to feel disgust for something, it means that you are in a condition of necessary change : in practice, you can not take it anymore . Have you ever said, "Now enough!"? Here's when you've had enough of the sensations really upsetting . The day of the "never again", the "now enough" or the "I have had enough" is the day when your life will change: there is nothing more radical like the disgust when it creeps into the depths of your soul . Obviously, for this emotion to work it must be intense : a bland disgust is useless. Some say: "I think I've had enough". It is a very little firm statement! See, there is no energy: this kind of emotion could not even push a paper boat into a bathtub!

Conclusion

We have seen that emotions spur action and induce people to stop procrastinating . The action is what guarantees the result: so actions, in fact, may generate reactions . Therefore, positive actions must be taken to obtain positive reactions . The whole world admires those who make things happen, and rewards them for their productive initiative. Having faith is certainly important, but on its own it is not enough: to believe and not to act is a way to deceive yourself . Just like a sales manager who comes out of an enthusiastic meeting saying that he will be the best in his field, but then does not follow the facts to his good intentions.

What would to do?

Then move on to action: from now, not tomorrow! Take advantage of the emotions to your advantage; channeling them correctly into constructive flows, you will learn how to act and you will stop procrastinating.
