Procrastination

I have been noticing my inner dialogue recently is tending towards harsh. I find myself accusing me of procrastination - I even made a SoulCollage card about procrastination. There are a couple of tasks within my business that I am having trouble motivating myself to just do, and I even find myself doing the guilt thing because I don't write here every day. But you can't force it, right?

Why do we tend towards the negative? A wise woman told me last year that it's hard to motivate yourself if you look at the day from the angle of "this could have been better, I didn't do that well, I just didn't do that"... She encouraged me to change the focus and say "I did this well, I really liked how that turned out..." and this is something I'm trying to encourage.

Truth is, whilst my wee critic likes to relish the idea that I'm not doing everything as I should, I have been eating good soul food.. I have been blogging in my other blog, I've been remembering so many dreams that I have about a year's worth of dreamwork to do and I have been creating new SoulCollage cards.**

Tammy asked about dream re-entry - it's a technique where you get yourself comfortable and go back to your dream. You can take your guide(s) and you can journey to parts of the dream you want to explore more deeply. You can ask the people/creatures in your dream questions and see what comes up. Last year I also had the opportunity to accompany a friend on her dream re-entry which was very kewl. Robert Moss does some great work with dreamers but he's too far away for me to attend his Dream School.

"Compassion, forgiveness, these are the real, ultimate sources of power for peace and success in life." ~ His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

I must remember to include myself in that! *grin*
