Will Smith said that 'self-discipline is acting self-love' and that just spoke to me. Similarly, you saying that 'procastination is putting yourself last' was another enlightening moment. Thankyou 😊❤️😊!
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
I'm a procrastination queen lately. My favorite quote is " Procrastination is the biggest time waster". I am about to go and plan my day/week to get where I want to be, I'm tired of wasting time when I could have already achieved my goals many times over by now. Thank you Lisa xx
One of my biggest issues in life is procrastination... I always think that I have more “time”. When u sit back and realize that tomorrow isn’t promised, and all you have is NOW, you’ll come to conclusion that time waits for no one. So starting NOW, everything that needs to be done, I WILL do when it needs to be done
Procrastination vs planning, procrastination is not self love and it is putting your self last!! this is life saving....Thanks Lisa...You are a blessings!!!!
"Procrastination is showing up for you last" did it for me! When it comes to work, or motherhood I am immediately in motion, when it comes to the things that I need to do for ME...I procrastinate..I am on a self-love journey and it continues to evolve. ~ Blessings Lisa
Wow! This was my first time watching and listening! Thanks for my Aha! moment. THE COST part of procrastination never dawned on me until now! I've been procrastinating getting something done that is literally COSTING ME MONEY!!! Why am I procrastinating? You caused me to think of why. I've been concerned about hurting someone's feelings who has clearly demonstrated that I do not count on any level, so to put myself first as you said, simply means I have to handle my business. I'm getting up right now, putting the paperwork together, copying it, and submitting it THIS WEEK!! This is my future hanging in the balance and procrastination isn't making that future any brighter. THANK YOU. I believe that this was placed in my path today for my blessing and you are a part of that. Be well. Peace and Blessings Lisa!
I believe I am on day 4 since I saw the Rescue Myself show you did. I bet on the outside I look no different but inside it's all different. I wrote to you that right now I am in my lowest low and I truly am but I don't feel so paralyzed and today I am just focused on what I can do not what I can't or didn't but how I can move the needle forward. I'm in a situation where I'm not able to control sooo much but I'm discovering that when I take control of even what may feel like the smallest details there is power in that. Procrastination is something I can control so it's one more tool I can add to my tool belt.
I'm a 22years old from South Africa, I'm glad I have found you at this early stage now I know things i didn't know about life thanks mama you inspire me😍
Oh my...I live in the world of procrastination. Your comment about still being able to perform under pressure hit home. But knowing that I can do much better when I plan is so true. In 2019, I promise to move out of the world of procrastination and into the world of time management and having more success and enjoying the process.
Discovering Lisa Nichols has been an eyeopener. It's now part of my morning ritual. 15 minutes of Lisa to start the day with the gift of possibility. I love that you use the word joy rather than happiness. To me happiness seems fleeting, but to be joyful feels like you are celebrating life as a whole - letting your light shine :). Thank you Lisa. Much love.
AH HA. Yes this is my AH HA moment. Space, Grace, and Ease. I am on a mission for such a lifestyle. I've always appreciated and benefited from planning ahead. I lost myself for a time. Now needle point changes in my behavior is giving me that freedom which is a freedom to have and feel space, grace and ease. Since I have joined this community it has helped me tremendously to grow as a person and I am truly 100% grateful from my SOUL. I need this! Thank you Lisa and all of the supporters that keeps this going.
so very true, i been procrastinating for years now, about exercising again, and not so long ago i was like, RAQUEL 🧐 do you know that, you can have the body that you want to have, if you actually wake up at 5:30am like you plan to do instead of just saying i’ll exercise when i’m back from work🙄 lmao. i have learn by watching your videos and analyzing ME, putting ME under the microscope, that my fear to fail, the fear of what will other say, the procrastination of i can do that tomorrow( mind me, i put everyone’s needs before mine, apparently whatever i need or want can wait) have stop me from being me doing what i like and want. I stop me from being in a better place in MY LIFE. THANK YOU LISA #BOL
#BOL!! Procrastination means showing up for you last! Damn that's powerful! Lisa, take a bow and say good night! Thank you, thank you thank you!! That goes on the white board in my office!
Hi Lisa. I also learned that procrastination is a form of fear. Every time I procrastinate at something, I have to ask myself, "Why am I procrastinating?" "What am I dreading?" "Why don't I want to do this?" When I would procrastinate on a project, it seem to get my drive and adrenalin going. Some people work better under stress. I use to think this was the case for me. But over the years, I've learned that stress is mentally and physically taxing on the body and can kill you! As I have matured in life, I've learned not to procrastinate, not only because I was tired of doing things at the last minute, but I wanted to preserve my health, mental and physical being. When I plan things out, I'm more calmer, peaceful and decisive. This video on procrastination confirmed my new thoughts and behaviors on why I should not procrastinate. God Bless You!
BOL!!! For years I felt my extra time should be available for my 83 year old mom. Mom is fine, I wasn't! I realized that I had trust issues and had been using this as a defense mechanism!! No longee. Love you!
Hey, Lisa - your 28 day result program has helped me rebuild my life in celebrating the wins in my life. It has also helped me discover my passion for writing again, renewed intimacy with my partner and loving my new title "Motivational Provocateur"! Keep the abundance of wisdom flowing my way, my sister in prosperity!
Hi Lisa, my aha “when you wait til the last minute to do something, you take the joy out of doing it” I’m making it a point to effectively use my planner! Thank you
Lisa, after hearing your story about finding your dream. I open checking account yesterday with my first $50 public speaking check. 25 for savings and 25 and checking to come see you. Yes yes 13 months in a rehab, two different nursing homes, many stories and packing to see you. Blind man now walking again is walking to shake your hand…
BOL!!!! Gratitude for breaking down procrastination for me . I’m giving my self more time be planning and I’m learning I can be more creative than waiting until the last minute . This is the season of putting myself first and that means less stress , less anxiety and more space for growth
I've seen your face over and over before. I'm finally getting to connect with what you are about. I've spent the last hour with you so far. I appreciate your presence!
BOL.... Lisa, My breakthroughs are louder than loud. You see, today is my day 8 of overcoming my procrastination after watching one of your interviews severally 8days for ago and heard you say you attended a training for 42 times.... Same training LIJE seriously I asked me... But my answers made me more determined like your decisions for the 42nd time. So on my journey to helping me overcome me with #FallingInLoveMadlyWithRoselyn I am beginning to stop getting high on the A-HA moments ONLY into the ACTING moments with empirical evidences from doing the 3 major mirror experiences of 1) loving & celebrating me, 2)forgiving me, and 3)committing more daily to me from TODAY because, I MUST ENJOY THIS JOURNEY TO MY BECOMING. And be sure I will share my 42days journey with you and everyone. Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you Lisa. Being in Your tribe is the best form of oxygen to breath on and breath with. Regards to Matt and your team. #FallingMadlyInLoveWithRoselyn
BOL!!! I have been doing the inner work on myself and discover who I am without people telling who I am. Upon my discovery, I was wondering why people said I am too sweet and found out I was a people pleaser. I will already have things to do but will procrastinate or drop it for other people not realizing that I was putting me last and them first. I will no longer do that. I COME FIRST! Thank God for you Lisa and May God bless you!
I want to say I am a new body to the village, I have been binging your channel this entire weekend. Thank you for this opportunity to get us whole again. I took this message to my husband who is a big time procrastinator and let me tell you something. He now realizes that when he waits til the last second, everyone hurts from it in the house including him. Thank you
Babe I just said no to one of my friends so relieved and proud because she wasn't truly my friend but someone who wished to see me go down unhappy. Today I started to work on my all-time dream to start my NPO no more people control me love you girl
I started today for me..... Got up early, went for a walk (short but got it started) sat down to review emails.... and this is the gift waiting for me. Thank you!!!!! Mandy
Just happened to listen to your program this morning and I know nothing just happens...."Planning not procrastinating is a form of self-love." THAT was an ah-ha moment for me! Also, "procrastination is showing up for yourself last" is a very powerful and truthful way to look at it. Thank you for Blessing us with this message. I will complete this journey from "procrastination to planning" and reach my destination of more time, more order and more peace!
Wow..."Are you willing to trust if you can do a good job at the last minute, what can you do if you planned it out in a more effective way?" Bells are ringing around me right now!! I just recently experienced my worst case scenario of doing it "last minute" I was so ashamed, and embarrassed in my performance, that I wanted to give up. But I asked God for something specific, and he gave me what I asked for...Needless to say, the answer to the prayer was him giving me "the reason" why I never want to procrastinate. And how if I had given myself more time, I would have exceeded my own expectations, and felt proud of my accomplishment. Thank you Lisa for all that you do, and all that you share with us all to help us get "out" of being stuck in our own heads.
Procrastination is a thing that I'm working hard to get rid of, because if I get rid of procrastination I'm gonna get a lot of work done in a heartbeat.
Hi Lisa, Wow this message is definitely a #BOL for me. I am a chronic, chronic procrastinator. Then I have the nerve to get angry with myself when I put things off. I need to start making sense out of my life. It makes 0 sense to get mad for procrastinating if 0 effort was put forth. What a vicious cycle that I have been part of for many years. It’s time to put myself FIRST in ALL LEVELS of my life. If I am going to eat better then I must exercise regularly. If I am going to leave the 9-5 lifestyle to blog, then I must continue to build my platform and write regularly. No more time wasted or mismanaged. Thanks so much for your transparency and the valuable lessons that you lovingly share with your tribe 💕.
Halfway through and I'm pausing the video and going to the gym, getting my assignment finished and meditate at the beach before picking up my kids from Childcare. Thank you Lisa for opening my eyes and reminding me I have to "put myself up to the top"!!
I jumped from my search of how to get closer to God.... and watched a few videos ... and don’t ask me how I ended up in your territory. But what touched me the most that has been my downfall... I watched your IQ session and when you shared that we must take that leap... stop watching others leap and be happy. Don’t die without knowing your purpose and what you could leave behind to be remembered. Exactly what I’ve done. Why was I searching today ? well I saw a movie” Can you imagine” which touched my heart and my soul due to my own abuse from my Mother. I had such a cry and in that cry I told her that I forgave her. It’s been a very difficult day because I never show others I’m broken. Also I’m always there for others. Now I’m here reading about procrastination which I’ve been doing a lot lately. You are right it’s stressful, I’m tired and moody. I’m losing joy. I procrastinate and I’m putting myself last. I’m gonna try tomorrow and do something I was supposed to do a month ago. And because I have the money to pay for storage I make excuses why I can’t go to storage. I must start putting me first or I’m gonna die so unhappy and I’m such a kind hearted, sweet person. What a waste. So I’m happy that I ran into you on my way to God....
OMGosh I stumbled across her too and I’m not even sure how but her messages have completely changed the trajectory of my life. I want to live fully and stop waiting for my miracle to happen maybe God will use me to manifest my own miracle and possibly some one else’s once I get up and take some action! We will fulfill our destinys it’s not optional ! #WhenNOTif!! :))
My daughter turned me on to you...I am so glad she did. I started with Rescuing yourself and had moments of tearing up. When you said in this video about asking for peace and then being a procrastinator! BABBYYY!!!! That was a big one! This will not be an easy transformation but I know it needs to happen.
My procrastinating is apart of fear and not feeling good enough. But it's only for myself. For others I give excellence. I started this week planning my day. I started searching for motivational speakers to speak to my spirit. I remember hearing you on goal cast or Ted talk. I'm 46 years old and I have to find myself. Thanks for the video confirming that I have to plan my time ahead of time.
Ending procrastination is a form of self-love...AHA!!! Thank you, Lisa, procrastination has been a long-standing problem for me and has been holding me back!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This video is exactly what I needed to hear at this exact moment. Like what?! How does that happen? Thank you Lisa for reaching out and speaking to my heart today.
Amanda J Martin Ditto, ditto, ditto... I have things to get done this weekend and I’ve been procrastinating. I so needed this as well. Lisa always brings the message at the right time!
Light bulb moment for me - procrastination is putting yourself last. Thank you for this brilliant message - just what I needed to hear. Thank you Lisa and keep up the great work you do.
Lisa I've been procrastinating for a longggg time HOWEVER with the guidance from your videos I can happily say that I have now started my journey. Girl this road is not smooth but I will not give up. Thank you. Lee xx
I am a procrastinator in some areas of my life. Your message hit home in a hard way. I had an aha! moment listening to your message. I realized I am putting myself last. I decided I am going to move myself up to the top of the ladder. Thank you Lisa for your beautiful self & for motivating and teaching us to love ourselfs & to be a better version of us. Sending you love beautiful lady 😘.
I'm a master procratinator, It makes me sad and in a bad mood every day, I feel horrible about my self, but today I decide to overcome procrastination no matter how, I deside to put myself first. Thank you Lisa, and thank's to all of tou for your inspiring comments
This was eye opening. I never saw procrastination as a form of self hatred. I always applauded myself for being able to get things done at the last minute never realizing the added stress I was causing myself. Wow!
I am lagging behind in every aspect of life becz of the habit of procrastinating things which is required to be done then and there...doing things at last minute will only give stress....i hav been suffering this since years but now i promise myself to overcome and make things done today itself....thank you lisa....for sharing and making my day😘😘😄
Oh Lisa, when I saw the link in my email, I must confess it got my ATTENTION. I am a stay at home mum and I often feel stressed and tired from doing house chores, I don't have any house assistant and I get to a point where I just burn out and I plan ahead not to do anything the following day. I mean I have just realized that I am making mental excuses for not getting the job done. I can do my chores, take care of me, my husband and my children. All it requires is planning to do this when it should be done. I can even get to save time for a quality rest. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First of all I thank God for your life and for your testimony. I feel very identified with this because I am a big procrastinator and I am working on it. Thank you for helping us.
This is definitely a revelation... Procrastination is not putting yourself first. Never thought of that. I often put everything else first and this made me realize I'm unconsciously doing it by procrastinating the things I need to do for me....like workout. I keep thinking it can wait and I'll do it tomorrow but it's just a clever way to put myself last. Thank you Lisa...next time I feel that procrastination creep up I'm going to remember this and say not today... I come first!
Lisa i have been able to acomplish so much in this last 5hrs after watching this video you can see my previous comments...i cannot thankyou enough...i love you for being there...thankyou for being there...
I just watched this video and cried because I always procrastinate and never thought of it like that. I always felt like I put ppl before myself. So when you put it like that it is a WOW how true is this.
Thank you, Lisa. I am the Queen of Procrastination! I am learning, but with this, just proven to me that I can change, I can stop procrastinating and start planning! Thank you, again! Love this!
This is the first time I have ever heard someone say to stop procrastinating is to plan more. I have never thought of it that way. I have listened to others state that if i am procrastinating it is because I dont care enough about it to make it a priority. I couldnt really accept that but it was the only explanation i had. But how you say things really moves me in a way I've never felt. I am glad I subscribed. Thank you. Have a blessed day.
Shaun Streeter yes same here. I didn't fully understand how much I must plan. My procrastination wasn't because I didn't care or being lazy. Paradigm shift for me.
During my quiet time this morning, I said, "today is the first day of the rest of my life." Thank you, Lisa, for this video on How to Overcome Procrastination. I never looked at procrastination as putting myself last. At this point in my life, I am no longer putting myself last, I'm moving myself on up. One of the things I've been praying for is to remove procrastination out of my life. I have been an avid procrastinator, and like you said still able to accomplish what was needed to be done. But Lord have mercy, the stress that I placed on me was just crazy. Where I'm going, procrastination is not going with me. Thank you for the tools I need to do what I've never done. I've been a hustler for a long time, it's not where I've been, but where I'm going. Oh my goodness! BOL!
OMG!!!! Lisa this is soooo me!!!!! When you first asked "What's the benefit?", my answer was "I don't know." But as you continued with all the stuff that comes with it...#BOL...IT BECOMES SUCH A NORMAL THAT IT'S OKAY! Then...BEING THROWN INTO URGENCY...finally to the real underlying issue...SELF LOVE!!! I HEREBY PROMISE MYSELF THAT I WILL DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO BETTER MYSELF IN THIS AREA!!!!! As a member of this tribe, I say THANK YOU LISA!!!
I'm a huge procrastinator I even get depression and its even worse to get out of the rut I feel. So now I have 2 jobs and I'm starting to feel better but I got long way. I have noticed I have more energy.
Powerful message! Never had the subject of procrastination explained in that context... not procrastinating as self Love, a form of putting yourself first.....Thank you Lisa!
Thank you for this Lisa! "Planning, and not Procrastinating, is a form of self love.... When you procrastinate, you're putting yourself last." That's my aha moment. Self love. Something I stopped doing a very long time ago, but working on today. Needed to hear this. I am theeeee worst. I feel that I work best under stress, yes. But in the end, I feel drained and upset knowing that I could've done better if I allowed myself more time.
BOL, i have always been a procrastinator and i wonted why i was always so stressed. I should look for the joy that comes with giving myself the time to do something before it becomes urgent. Thank you so much, this will change my life!!
I am so greatful for listening to you. I am a great procrastinator and the worse part of it is I didn't realise how much it was affecting me. Had sleepless nights,last mins creativity doesn't always work and I so much know that but just wasn't bothered to change my ways. I now really look forward to plan more and to say no when I can't, I have so much wanted to please others that I pushed myself away from my schedules, I really want to change tjis and be more organise so.i could leave more peacefully. thank you Lisa. I love you
This is Tina Boone - As much as I know that I MUST move aware from being a procrastinator, it hit home when you mentioned "packing" because that is a running joke with me. I have in my mind what I want to take, it's just not in the luggage until close to time for me to leave. Thank you for putting it in perspective - procrastinating is putting me last. I don't want to be last anymore!! THANKS!!
Lisa, thank you for saying that we show up for ourselves last when we procrastinate and to evaluate what it costs us. When I sit and examine the cost and realize how this seemingly insignificant action creates a ripple effect that can be monstrously destructive and have massive impact on everyone around me. Thank you for speaking on this and helping point out that I should look for what I can do to be the best and brightest most brilliant version of myself. When I think about what that looks like, BOL!, man does it shift the lens and cause everything I must do to change and become in clear focus! I’m going to meditate on what this looks like and write it down so I can make a list of steps I must do to get myself out of this current situation and move toward the one I see!
I'm a divorced mother of 5 and I have been scared to start a business that I have been wanting to for a while, but I have been listening to your videos, and 2019 is MY YEAR, I'm surrounding myself with the RIGHT PEOPLE, I thank you my sister from the bottom of my heart. I have been getting degrees, and certifications, and still haven't found my passion, BUT 2019 OUR LIVES WILL CHANGE....I WILL BECOME A HOME OWNER....I WILL GET OUT OF DEBT.....I WILL BECOME A BUSINESS OWNER....I WILL BE ABLE TO START SCHOLARSHIPS FOR SINGLE PARENTS TO DO BETTER.....WATCH OUT WORLD HERE I COME!!!!!
Thank you so much, Lisa. I think I just heard something for the first time that I needed to hear-- here's my Aha!: I an always asking for and affirming peace and grace and ease and yet living in last minute zone, addicted to the rush and stress of procrastination continually pushes away just what I'm seeking. When you said "you lose a little bit of joy when you're bumped up against a deadline" my heart actually sank because I realized no one or no situation was taking my joy away. I've actually been robbing myself! Ready to take on planning as an act of self-love and put enjoying the journey back on the list. THANK YOU. Thanks to the rest of the tribe, too. So great to read a few other comments of people similarly interested in being their best!
I love you lisa..u are my angel...u r my best friend i never had...u speak directly to me...it makes my eyes water everytime you hit a cord with my emotions...I LOVE YOU SO MUCH...😚😙😘😍😚🤗🤗
Lisa , yes, this is the time I need you most to help me turn my life around. I don't know what actually is my fault to deserve this blow. Well the actors would know best. Thanks
Thanks Lisa. I'm really in love with your posts. And I'm glad it's a dialogue so I get to talk back. I'm Ghanaian and an upcoming fashion designer. My issue was procastination until this post. I really want to hit the global market even though a lot of top Ghanaian designers haven't reached there yet. I believe I have to plan things differently to achieve that cos I don't wanna get stuck in Africa. I wanna introduce myself to the outside world. Keep the motivational posts coming . I love you 😘😘😘.
Eisen Hower u can do it. However, u are so blessed to be in the motherland. Africa feeds the world don't get it twisted! Yes travel. However as a diasporan-i have no mother tongue, don't know where exactly my ancestors came from as in specific people group, and did not grow up in the culture I am learning this now. You are BLESSED. Give thanks, use your skills to further yourself and our homeland. Take your skills back or use them for your people. All the best sis x
Thank you Lisa! This is so much true. How much we stress ourselves and people around when we do things last moment! When I was a student 10 years back, I used to prepare my exams the night before and was awfully stressed all the week before it. Last year I had to prepare 3 exams and I have decided that I will finish preparations 3 days before and I did. That was a really great feeling. As you say, the form of self love :). Now I will apply it to my private life and business. Many thanks!
Thank you lisa for those suggestions that open my eyes and my mind; But i realise, that i have a tendency to procrastinate when i feel that i haven't enough energy to do what i must do, or when i don't have a motivation for it... I think also that a lot of procrastinators are perfectionnist's people whome are waiting for the right moment to do the things, the moment when they are ready at 1000% and this moment never come on the most of cases;
BTOL! I needed this message so much LISA. I am constantly rushing and frazzled because I don't allow myself time to get places, and I also find myself getting caught up in other people's urgent matters. However I am learning that other people's crisis is not my emergency and I'm progressing slowly but surely...thank you for the confirmation!
Yes! Thank you, Lisa!!! What struck me most is that every negative thing I have in my life - there's some perceived benefit I get from it. At least my brain thinks there's some benefit. And I just have to honestly ask what exactly that benefit is and honestly weigh it against the disadvantages. Thank you!!!
Thank you. All i have to say is that I am coming here back again after some time and re- thank you for such a beautiful gift that this video is. I am saying I am grateful to you. Why? because I really am.
Yess!!!! More Peace of mind and joy by organising every part of me & and my business - I got it - Thank you so much!!!!! Love you Lisa, love you all - and lvoe myself - big hugs
Indeed, I am a planner! I DO procrastinate on some things, but on others, I am way ahead of myself. Then I overthink, such as packing, and worry that I didn't bring this or that. So I have learned to make lists for different activities, such as travel, camping, conferences etc. and check off each thing as I ready myself. Otherwise, I forget, fret, and add to what I previously put together, and bring DOUBLE what I need! Silly, but it happens!
Lisa THANK YOU. Time management is the BANE OF MY LIFE. I have always struggled. #BOL I think my procrastination is partly FEAR OF FAILURE, thing is the task doesn't disappear!! I want to be that organised wife, mom and woman I just struggle to be realistic with my time, HOWEVER I am learning at a snail's pace allbeit!! You have inspired me that I owe it to myself to do this. THANKYOU my sista Lisa💗
I'm so ready to be in recovery from procrastination. Every time I'm planing something it's always last minute. I must begin to pu myself first. Thank you! I really need to hear and receive this message.
Sister Lisa, #AgapeFam, much love. Thank you for the deeper meaning of procrastination & revealing the myth of being great under pressure to excuse a lack of preparedness which is really you putting YOU last. I always love going deep while being Motivated with the Masses. I pray you got to enjoy that Plumeria candle you were gifted in Pasadena last October.
I’m a new subscriber but I wanna just tell you after listening to you I have started looking in the mirror at myself And I’m just going say Amen Amen Amen 🙏 Thank You 😊 Sister Keep giving out that power Of inspiration
Thank you so much Lisa. This is timely. I have been dealing with procrastination for some weeks now. This week, I decided to start digging deep on how to stop self sabotage. And knowing that procrastination definitely has a cost and it's putting me last will help me make better decisions.
This video was wonderful. My Ah-Ha!: planning is self care. I don't know why I never saw that. BTW, that particular background music was very helpful in helping me focus on your message. TY!
This was an aha to me! I never thought that waiting until the VERY last minute was not loving myself... I was just thinking of the past semester of school, work, and church and how I fumbled horribly my responsibilities for each because I did not plan well at times and at all in others. This video is the answer to my prayers. Thank you for sharing. I’ve already shared with others who have similar issues. I vow to love me more by procrastinating less until I don’t procrastinate any more. I mean I’m worth it. Thank you.
Thank you Coach Lisa! This was a cross between confirmation and AHHAAAA!!! For some time now, I've known better and in some area's I've done better...but it was an AHHAAA moment when you said.. "you cant be a part time planner"!!! I've also recignized that making the decision to plan better, I can have peace and ease of mind, but today Coach Lisa, you made me look at the fact that, if I know that giving myself the space and peace and ease of mind is a form of Self-Love...then in choosing not to plan... I'm choosing to hate myself... WOW...why am I doing that!!!? And that's a choice!!!? TODAY I'M DECIDING TO CHANGE THAT!!!
Thank you so much Lisa. I've listened to so many clips on procrastination and what you said today to me.. Made so much sense so clear and straight forward. It meant something strong to me when you said. Stopping to procrastinate is a show of self love. Wow so profound. That's how I show myself love. Thank you
#BOL planning is a form of self love. I have procrastinated over seeing this talk as I have been holding some pride in my ability to get things done at the last minute. I have never considered the cost of procrastinating to my joy in the experience until the past month. Today I was ready to hear this and take action to change this habit
Will Smith said that 'self-discipline is acting self-love' and that just spoke to me. Similarly, you saying that 'procastination is putting yourself last' was another enlightening moment. Thankyou 😊❤️😊!
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
I'm a procrastination queen lately. My favorite quote is " Procrastination is the biggest time waster". I am about to go and plan my day/week to get where I want to be, I'm tired of wasting time when I could have already achieved my goals many times over by now. Thank you Lisa xx
"procrastination is delaying self love" wow! This is the aha moment for me. Thank you Lisa, you are just wonderful ☺❤
One of my biggest issues in life is procrastination... I always think that I have more “time”. When u sit back and realize that tomorrow isn’t promised, and all you have is NOW, you’ll come to conclusion that time waits for no one. So starting NOW, everything that needs to be done, I WILL do when it needs to be done
Taylor Smith thank u
Procrastination vs planning, procrastination is not self love and it is putting your self last!! this is life saving....Thanks Lisa...You are a blessings!!!!
"Procrastination is showing up for you last" did it for me! When it comes to work, or motherhood I am immediately in motion, when it comes to the things that I need to do for ME...I procrastinate..I am on a self-love journey and it continues to evolve. ~ Blessings Lisa
“Just one tweak,your decision” was another AH HAH moment for me. I love your videos Lisa thank you for sharing your light 💛💛💛
Wow! This was my first time watching and listening! Thanks for my Aha! moment. THE COST part of procrastination never dawned on me until now! I've been procrastinating getting something done that is literally COSTING ME MONEY!!! Why am I procrastinating? You caused me to think of why. I've been concerned about hurting someone's feelings who has clearly demonstrated that I do not count on any level, so to put myself first as you said, simply means I have to handle my business. I'm getting up right now, putting the paperwork together, copying it, and submitting it THIS WEEK!! This is my future hanging in the balance and procrastination isn't making that future any brighter. THANK YOU. I believe that this was placed in my path today for my blessing and you are a part of that. Be well. Peace and Blessings Lisa!
I believe I am on day 4 since I saw the Rescue Myself show you did. I bet on the outside I look no different but inside it's all different. I wrote to you that right now I am in my lowest low and I truly am but I don't feel so paralyzed and today I am just focused on what I can do not what I can't or didn't but how I can move the needle forward.
I'm in a situation where I'm not able to control sooo much but I'm discovering that when I take control of even what may feel like the smallest details there is power in that.
Procrastination is something I can control so it's one more tool I can add to my tool belt.
I'm a 22years old from South Africa, I'm glad I have found you at this early stage now I know things i didn't know about life thanks mama you inspire me😍
Oh my...I live in the world of procrastination. Your comment about still being able to perform under pressure hit home. But knowing that I can do much better when I plan is so true. In 2019, I promise to move out of the world of procrastination and into the world of time management and having more success and enjoying the process.
Discovering Lisa Nichols has been an eyeopener. It's now part of my morning ritual. 15 minutes of Lisa to start the day with the gift of possibility. I love that you use the word joy rather than happiness. To me happiness seems fleeting, but to be joyful feels like you are celebrating life as a whole - letting your light shine :). Thank you Lisa. Much love.
AH HA. Yes this is my AH HA moment. Space, Grace, and Ease. I am on a mission for such a lifestyle. I've always appreciated and benefited from planning ahead. I lost myself for a time. Now needle point changes in my behavior is giving me that freedom which is a freedom to have and feel space, grace and ease. Since I have joined this community it has helped me tremendously to grow as a person and I am truly 100% grateful from my SOUL. I need this! Thank you Lisa and all of the supporters that keeps this going.
so very true, i been procrastinating for years now, about exercising again, and not so long ago i was like, RAQUEL 🧐 do you know that, you can have the body that you want to have, if you actually wake up at 5:30am like you plan to do instead of just saying i’ll exercise when i’m back from work🙄 lmao. i have learn by watching your videos and analyzing ME, putting ME under the microscope, that my fear to fail, the fear of what will other say, the procrastination of i can do that tomorrow( mind me, i put everyone’s needs before mine, apparently whatever i need or want can wait) have stop me from being me doing what i like and want. I stop me from being in a better place in MY LIFE. THANK YOU LISA #BOL
raquel gutierrez thank u
#BOL!! Procrastination means showing up for you last! Damn that's powerful! Lisa, take a bow and say good night! Thank you, thank you thank you!! That goes on the white board in my office!
Hi Lisa. I also learned that procrastination is a form of fear. Every time I procrastinate at something, I have to ask myself, "Why am I procrastinating?" "What am I dreading?" "Why don't I want to do this?" When I would procrastinate on a project, it seem to get my drive and adrenalin going. Some people work better under stress. I use to think this was the case for me. But over the years, I've learned that stress is mentally and physically taxing on the body and can kill you!
As I have matured in life, I've learned not to procrastinate, not only because I was tired of doing things at the last minute, but I wanted to preserve my health, mental and physical being. When I plan things out, I'm more calmer, peaceful and decisive. This video on procrastination confirmed my new thoughts and behaviors on why I should not procrastinate. God Bless You!
BOL!!! For years I felt my extra time should be available for my 83 year old mom. Mom is fine, I wasn't! I realized that I had trust issues and had been using this as a defense mechanism!! No longee. Love you!
Hey, Lisa - your 28 day result program has helped me rebuild my life in celebrating the wins in my life. It has also helped me discover my passion for writing again, renewed intimacy with my partner and loving my new title "Motivational Provocateur"! Keep the abundance of wisdom flowing my way, my sister in prosperity!
Hi Lisa, my aha “when you wait til the last minute to do something, you take the joy out of doing it” I’m making it a point to effectively use my planner! Thank you
Marisa Denise #yana
Marisa Denise yes planners help
Lisa, after hearing your story about finding your dream. I open checking account yesterday with my first $50 public speaking check. 25 for savings and 25 and checking to come see you. Yes yes 13 months in a rehab, two different nursing homes, many stories and packing to see you.
Blind man now walking again is walking to shake your hand…
BOL!!!! Gratitude for breaking down procrastination for me . I’m giving my self more time be planning and I’m learning I can be more creative than waiting until the last minute . This is the season of putting myself first and that means less stress , less anxiety and more space for growth
I've seen your face over and over before. I'm finally getting to connect with what you are about. I've spent the last hour with you so far.
I appreciate your presence!
BOL.... Lisa, My breakthroughs are louder than loud. You see, today is my day 8 of overcoming my procrastination after watching one of your interviews severally 8days for ago and heard you say you attended a training for 42 times.... Same training LIJE seriously I asked me... But my answers made me more determined like your decisions for the 42nd time.
So on my journey to helping me overcome me with #FallingInLoveMadlyWithRoselyn I am beginning to stop getting high on the A-HA moments ONLY into the ACTING moments with empirical evidences from doing the 3 major mirror experiences of 1) loving & celebrating me, 2)forgiving me, and 3)committing more daily to me from TODAY because, I MUST ENJOY THIS JOURNEY TO MY BECOMING.
And be sure I will share my 42days journey with you and everyone.
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you Lisa. Being in Your tribe is the best form of oxygen to breath on and breath with. Regards to Matt and your team. #FallingMadlyInLoveWithRoselyn
BOL!!! I have been doing the inner work on myself and discover who I am without people telling who I am. Upon my discovery, I was wondering why people said I am too sweet and found out I was a people pleaser. I will already have things to do but will procrastinate or drop it for other people not realizing that I was putting me last and them first. I will no longer do that. I COME FIRST! Thank God for you Lisa and May God bless you!
You are one heaven of a motivational speaker. Infinite blessings to you. You gave me hope.
I want to say I am a new body to the village, I have been binging your channel this entire weekend. Thank you for this opportunity to get us whole again. I took this message to my husband who is a big time procrastinator and let me tell you something. He now realizes that when he waits til the last second, everyone hurts from it in the house including him. Thank you
Babe I just said no to one of my friends so relieved and proud because she wasn't truly my friend but someone who wished to see me go down unhappy. Today I started to work on my all-time dream to start my NPO no more people control me love you girl
Procrastination is putting yourself last #BOL never looked at it that way.
I started today for me..... Got up early, went for a walk (short but got it started) sat down to review emails.... and this is the gift waiting for me. Thank you!!!!! Mandy
Just happened to listen to your program this morning and I know nothing just happens...."Planning not procrastinating is a form of self-love." THAT was an ah-ha moment for me! Also, "procrastination is showing up for yourself last" is a very powerful and truthful way to look at it. Thank you for Blessing us with this message. I will complete this journey from "procrastination to planning" and reach my destination of more time, more order and more peace!
Wow! Procrastination is putting yourself last... I’ll stop procrastination NOW 💖💝
Wow..."Are you willing to trust if you can do a good job at the last minute, what can you do if you planned it out in a more effective way?" Bells are ringing around me right now!! I just recently experienced my worst case scenario of doing it "last minute" I was so ashamed, and embarrassed in my performance, that I wanted to give up. But I asked God for something specific, and he gave me what I asked for...Needless to say, the answer to the prayer was him giving me "the reason" why I never want to procrastinate. And how if I had given myself more time, I would have exceeded my own expectations, and felt proud of my accomplishment. Thank you Lisa for all that you do, and all that you share with us all to help us get "out" of being stuck in our own heads.
JYSproeditor1 yes I get it. I'm with u.
Procrastination is a thing that I'm working hard to get rid of, because if I get rid of procrastination I'm gonna get a lot of work done in a heartbeat.
...this is good, I have never heard this before ...I'm putting myself last, correlation to low esteem...I will apply!
I just hit 19k subscribers I am celebrating now after listening to you....
When you said WE are a tribe made my soul smile
Hi Lisa,
Wow this message is definitely a #BOL for me. I am a chronic, chronic procrastinator. Then I have the nerve to get angry with myself when I put things off. I need to start making sense out of my life. It makes 0 sense to get mad for procrastinating if 0 effort was put forth. What a vicious cycle that I have been part of for many years. It’s time to put myself FIRST in ALL LEVELS of my life. If I am going to eat better then I must exercise regularly. If I am going to leave the 9-5 lifestyle to blog, then I must continue to build my platform and write regularly. No more time wasted or mismanaged. Thanks so much for your transparency and the valuable lessons that you lovingly share with your tribe 💕.
Halfway through and I'm pausing the video and going to the gym, getting my assignment finished and meditate at the beach before picking up my kids from Childcare. Thank you Lisa for opening my eyes and reminding me I have to "put myself up to the top"!!
I jumped from my search of how to get closer to God.... and watched a few videos ... and don’t ask me how I ended up in your territory.
But what touched me the most that has been my downfall... I watched your IQ session and when you shared that we must take that leap... stop watching others leap and be happy. Don’t die without knowing your purpose and what you could leave behind to be remembered. Exactly what I’ve done. Why was I searching today ? well I saw a movie” Can you imagine” which touched my heart and my soul due to my own abuse from my Mother. I had such a cry and in that cry I told her that I forgave her. It’s been a very difficult day because I never show others I’m broken. Also I’m always there for others.
Now I’m here reading about procrastination which I’ve been doing a lot lately. You are right it’s stressful, I’m tired and moody. I’m losing joy. I procrastinate and I’m putting myself last. I’m gonna try tomorrow and do something I was supposed to do a month ago. And because I have the money to pay for storage I make excuses why I can’t go to storage. I must start putting me first or I’m gonna die so unhappy and I’m such a kind hearted, sweet person. What a waste.
So I’m happy that I ran into you on my way to God....
Millie C u got this
OMGosh I stumbled across her too and I’m not even sure how but her messages have completely changed the trajectory of my life. I want to live fully and stop waiting for my miracle to happen maybe God will use me to manifest my own miracle and possibly some one else’s once I get up and take some action! We will fulfill our destinys it’s not optional ! #WhenNOTif!! :))
My daughter turned me on to you...I am so glad she did. I started with Rescuing yourself and had moments of tearing up. When you said in this video about asking for peace and then being a procrastinator! BABBYYY!!!! That was a big one! This will not be an easy transformation but I know it needs to happen.
My procrastinating is apart of fear and not feeling good enough. But it's only for myself. For others I give excellence. I started this week planning my day. I started searching for motivational speakers to speak to my spirit. I remember hearing you on goal cast or Ted talk. I'm 46 years old and I have to find myself. Thanks for the video confirming that I have to plan my time ahead of time.
Ending procrastination is a form of self-love...AHA!!! Thank you, Lisa, procrastination has been a long-standing problem for me and has been holding me back!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This video is exactly what I needed to hear at this exact moment. Like what?! How does that happen?
Thank you Lisa for reaching out and speaking to my heart today.
same. i almost put it in my "watch later" playlist and realized that im just further procrastinating.
Amore Love it’s awesome that you were able to recognize that! 🤩
Amanda J Martin Ditto, ditto, ditto... I have things to get done this weekend and I’ve been procrastinating. I so needed this as well. Lisa always brings the message at the right time!
Amanda J Martin Good! It was meant to be! The universe telling you are on the right path. Peace and happiness.
Light bulb moment for me - procrastination is putting yourself last. Thank you for this brilliant message - just what I needed to hear. Thank you Lisa and keep up the great work you do.
Lisa I've been procrastinating for a longggg time HOWEVER with the guidance from your videos I can happily say that I have now started my journey. Girl this road is not smooth but I will not give up. Thank you. Lee xx
I am a procrastinator in some areas of my life. Your message hit home in a hard way. I had an aha! moment listening to your message. I realized I am putting myself last. I decided I am going to move myself up to the top of the ladder. Thank you Lisa for your beautiful self & for motivating and teaching us to love ourselfs & to be a better version of us. Sending you love beautiful lady 😘.
I'm a master procratinator, It makes me sad and in a bad mood every day, I feel horrible about my self, but today I decide to overcome procrastination no matter how, I deside to put myself first. Thank you Lisa, and thank's to all of tou for your inspiring comments
This was eye opening. I never saw procrastination as a form of self hatred. I always applauded myself for being able to get things done at the last minute never realizing the added stress I was causing myself. Wow!
I'll be listening to this in my sleep for my soul so I can begin to apply it
I am lagging behind in every aspect of life becz of the habit of procrastinating things which is required to be done then and there...doing things at last minute will only give stress....i hav been suffering this since years but now i promise myself to overcome and make things done today itself....thank you lisa....for sharing and making my day😘😘😄
Oh Lisa, when I saw the link in my email, I must confess it got my ATTENTION. I am a stay at home mum and I often feel stressed and tired from doing house chores, I don't have any house assistant and I get to a point where I just burn out and I plan ahead not to do anything the following day. I mean I have just realized that I am making mental excuses for not getting the job done. I can do my chores, take care of me, my husband and my children. All it requires is planning to do this when it should be done. I can even get to save time for a quality rest. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First of all I thank God for your life and for your testimony. I feel very identified with this because I am a big procrastinator and I am working on it. Thank you for helping us.
This is definitely a revelation... Procrastination is not putting yourself first. Never thought of that. I often put everything else first and this made me realize I'm unconsciously doing it by procrastinating the things I need to do for me....like workout. I keep thinking it can wait and I'll do it tomorrow but it's just a clever way to put myself last. Thank you Lisa...next time I feel that procrastination creep up I'm going to remember this and say not today... I come first!
Lisa i have been able to acomplish so much in this last 5hrs after watching this video you can see my previous comments...i cannot thankyou enough...i love you for being there...thankyou for being there...
your messages are always right on time, every time
I just watched this video and cried because I always procrastinate and never thought of it like that. I always felt like I put ppl before myself. So when you put it like that it is a WOW how true is this.
Thank you, Lisa. I am the Queen of Procrastination! I am learning, but with this, just proven to me that I can change, I can stop procrastinating and start planning! Thank you, again! Love this!
This is the first time I have ever heard someone say to stop procrastinating is to plan more. I have never thought of it that way. I have listened to others state that if i am procrastinating it is because I dont care enough about it to make it a priority. I couldnt really accept that but it was the only explanation i had. But how you say things really moves me in a way I've never felt. I am glad I subscribed. Thank you. Have a blessed day.
Shaun Streeter yes same here. I didn't fully understand how much I must plan. My procrastination wasn't because I didn't care or being lazy. Paradigm shift for me.
During my quiet time this morning, I said, "today is the first day of the rest of my life." Thank you, Lisa, for this video on How to Overcome Procrastination. I never looked at procrastination as putting myself last. At this point in my life, I am no longer putting myself last, I'm moving myself on up. One of the things I've been praying for is to remove procrastination out of my life. I have been an avid procrastinator, and like you said still able to accomplish what was needed to be done. But Lord have mercy, the stress that I placed on me was just crazy. Where I'm going, procrastination is not going with me. Thank you for the tools I need to do what I've never done. I've been a hustler for a long time, it's not where I've been, but where I'm going. Oh my goodness! BOL!
OMG!!!! Lisa this is soooo me!!!!! When you first asked "What's the benefit?", my answer was "I don't know." But as you continued with all the stuff that comes with it...#BOL...IT BECOMES SUCH A NORMAL THAT IT'S OKAY! Then...BEING THROWN INTO URGENCY...finally to the real underlying issue...SELF LOVE!!! I HEREBY PROMISE MYSELF THAT I WILL DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO BETTER MYSELF IN THIS AREA!!!!! As a member of this tribe, I say THANK YOU LISA!!!
This is by far the ONLY answer that is relevant and practical when it comes to procrastination
I'm a huge procrastinator I even get depression and its even worse to get out of the rut I feel. So now I have 2 jobs and I'm starting to feel better but I got long way. I have noticed I have more energy.
inaices2002 you got this
Powerful message! Never had the subject of procrastination explained in that context... not procrastinating as self Love, a form of putting yourself first.....Thank you Lisa!
Thank you for this Lisa!
"Planning, and not Procrastinating, is a form of self love.... When you procrastinate, you're putting yourself last."
That's my aha moment. Self love. Something I stopped doing a very long time ago, but working on today.
Needed to hear this. I am theeeee worst.
I feel that I work best under stress, yes. But in the end, I feel drained and upset knowing that I could've done better if I allowed myself more time.
Procrastinating is me putting myself last.
I never thought of it that way.
BOL, i have always been a procrastinator and i wonted why i was always so stressed. I should look for the joy that comes with giving myself the time to do something before it becomes urgent. Thank you so much, this will change my life!!
I am so greatful for listening to you. I am a great procrastinator and the worse part of it is I didn't realise how much it was affecting me. Had sleepless nights,last mins creativity doesn't always work and I so much know that but just wasn't bothered to change my ways. I now really look forward to plan more and to say no when I can't, I have so much wanted to please others that I pushed myself away from my schedules, I really want to change tjis and be more organise so.i could leave more peacefully. thank you Lisa. I love you
I now realize that I even procrastinated on commenting Lisa, but IT'S A NEW DAY...BECAUSE I'M WORTH IT!!!!'
This is Tina Boone - As much as I know that I MUST move aware from being a procrastinator, it hit home when you mentioned "packing" because that is a running joke with me. I have in my mind what I want to take, it's just not in the luggage until close to time for me to leave. Thank you for putting it in perspective - procrastinating is putting me last. I don't want to be last anymore!! THANKS!!
Lisa, thank you for saying that we show up for ourselves last when we procrastinate and to evaluate what it costs us. When I sit and examine the cost and realize how this seemingly insignificant action creates a ripple effect that can be monstrously destructive and have massive impact on everyone around me. Thank you for speaking on this and helping point out that I should look for what I can do to be the best and brightest most brilliant version of myself. When I think about what that looks like, BOL!, man does it shift the lens and cause everything I must do to change and become in clear focus! I’m going to meditate on what this looks like and write it down so I can make a list of steps I must do to get myself out of this current situation and move toward the one I see!
I'm a divorced mother of 5 and I have been scared to start a business that I have been wanting to for a while, but I have been listening to your videos, and 2019 is MY YEAR, I'm surrounding myself with the RIGHT PEOPLE, I thank you my sister from the bottom of my heart. I have been getting degrees, and certifications, and still haven't found my passion, BUT 2019 OUR LIVES WILL CHANGE....I WILL BECOME A HOME OWNER....I WILL GET OUT OF DEBT.....I WILL BECOME A BUSINESS OWNER....I WILL BE ABLE TO START SCHOLARSHIPS FOR SINGLE PARENTS TO DO BETTER.....WATCH OUT WORLD HERE I COME!!!!!
Thank you so much, Lisa. I think I just heard something for the first time that I needed to hear-- here's my Aha!: I an always asking for and affirming peace and grace and ease and yet living in last minute zone, addicted to the rush and stress of procrastination continually pushes away just what I'm seeking. When you said "you lose a little bit of joy when you're bumped up against a deadline" my heart actually sank because I realized no one or no situation was taking my joy away. I've actually been robbing myself! Ready to take on planning as an act of self-love and put enjoying the journey back on the list. THANK YOU. Thanks to the rest of the tribe, too. So great to read a few other comments of people similarly interested in being their best!
I love you lisa..u are my angel...u r my best friend i never had...u speak directly to me...it makes my eyes water everytime you hit a cord with my emotions...I LOVE YOU SO MUCH...😚😙😘😍😚🤗🤗
Lisa , yes, this is the time I need you most to help me turn my life around.
I don't know what actually is my fault to deserve this blow. Well the actors would know best. Thanks
Thank you for this. I am recently widowed and it has been so hard to do life on my own. I need help to organize and plan. Send more!!
Thank u universe for making this lady....she is angel 👼.... thank you lisa for ur words
AHA!!!! I never looked at planning as.a form of self love nor did I look at procrastination as putting myself last! Redoing my calendar now!!!
Thanks Lisa.
I'm really in love with your posts.
And I'm glad it's a dialogue so I get to talk back.
I'm Ghanaian and an upcoming fashion designer. My issue was procastination until this post. I really want to hit the global market even though a lot of top Ghanaian designers haven't reached there yet. I believe I have to plan things differently to achieve that cos I don't wanna get stuck in Africa. I wanna introduce myself to the outside world. Keep the motivational posts coming . I love you 😘😘😘.
Eisen Hower u can do it. However, u are so blessed to be in the motherland. Africa feeds the world don't get it twisted! Yes travel. However as a diasporan-i have no mother tongue, don't know where exactly my ancestors came from as in specific people group, and did not grow up in the culture I am learning this now. You are BLESSED. Give thanks, use your skills to further yourself and our homeland. Take your skills back or use them for your people. All the best sis x
Thank you Lisa! This is so much true. How much we stress ourselves and people around when we do things last moment! When I was a student 10 years back, I used to prepare my exams the night before and was awfully stressed all the week before it. Last year I had to prepare 3 exams and I have decided that I will finish preparations 3 days before and I did. That was a really great feeling. As you say, the form of self love :). Now I will apply it to my private life and business. Many thanks!
Thank you lisa for those suggestions that open my eyes and my mind; But i realise, that i have a tendency to procrastinate when i feel that i haven't enough energy to do what i must do, or when i don't have a motivation for it...
I think also that a lot of procrastinators are perfectionnist's people whome are waiting for the right moment to do the things, the moment when they are ready at 1000% and this moment never come on the most of cases;
BTOL! I needed this message so much LISA. I am constantly rushing and frazzled because I don't allow myself time to get places, and I also find myself getting caught up in other people's urgent matters. However I am learning that other people's crisis is not my emergency and I'm progressing slowly but surely...thank you for the confirmation!
I'm not a procrastinator. I do have family members that are. Thank you for sharing ❤
Yes! Thank you, Lisa!!! What struck me most is that every negative thing I have in my life - there's some perceived benefit I get from it. At least my brain thinks there's some benefit. And I just have to honestly ask what exactly that benefit is and honestly weigh it against the disadvantages. Thank you!!!
Thank you. All i have to say is that I am coming here back again after some time and re- thank you for such a beautiful gift that this video is. I am saying I am grateful to you. Why? because I really am.
Yess!!!! More Peace of mind and joy by organising every part of me & and my business - I got it - Thank you so much!!!!! Love you Lisa, love you all - and lvoe myself - big hugs
Indeed, I am a planner! I DO procrastinate on some things, but on others, I am way ahead of myself. Then I overthink, such as packing, and worry that I didn't bring this or that. So I have learned to make lists for different activities, such as travel, camping, conferences etc. and check off each thing as I ready myself. Otherwise, I forget, fret, and add to what I previously put together, and bring DOUBLE what I need! Silly, but it happens!
This is EXACTLY what I needed to hear at this very moment. BOL=I am worth it. I deserve it. I never told myself this before.
Lisa THANK YOU. Time management is the BANE OF MY LIFE. I have always struggled. #BOL I think my procrastination is partly FEAR OF FAILURE, thing is the task doesn't disappear!! I want to be that organised wife, mom and woman I just struggle to be realistic with my time, HOWEVER I am learning at a snail's pace allbeit!! You have inspired me that I owe it to myself to do this. THANKYOU my sista Lisa💗
I'm so ready to be in recovery from procrastination. Every time I'm planing something it's always last minute. I must begin to pu myself first. Thank you! I really need to hear and receive this message.
Sister Lisa, #AgapeFam, much love. Thank you for the deeper meaning of procrastination & revealing the myth of being great under pressure to excuse a lack of preparedness which is really you putting YOU last. I always love going deep while being Motivated with the Masses. I pray you got to enjoy that Plumeria candle you were gifted in Pasadena last October.
I’m a new subscriber but I wanna just tell you after listening to you I have started looking in the mirror at myself
And I’m just going say
Amen Amen Amen 🙏
Thank You 😊 Sister
Keep giving out that power
Of inspiration
"When you think about the cost." Wow! I got it now. Thanks Lisa! 💖💕
Thank you so much Lisa. This is timely. I have been dealing with procrastination for some weeks now. This week, I decided to start digging deep on how to stop self sabotage. And knowing that procrastination definitely has a cost and it's putting me last will help me make better decisions.
This video was wonderful. My Ah-Ha!: planning is self care.
I don't know why I never saw that.
BTW, that particular background music was very helpful in helping me focus on your message. TY!
Wow!!! You are so speaking to me... I need to put myself first and plan better. Thank you, Lisa!
This was an aha to me! I never thought that waiting until the VERY last minute was not loving myself... I was just thinking of the past semester of school, work, and church and how I fumbled horribly my responsibilities for each because I did not plan well at times and at all in others. This video is the answer to my prayers. Thank you for sharing. I’ve already shared with others who have similar issues. I vow to love me more by procrastinating less until I don’t procrastinate any more. I mean I’m worth it. Thank you.
Thank you Coach Lisa! This was a cross between confirmation and AHHAAAA!!! For some time now, I've known better and in some area's I've done better...but it was an AHHAAA moment when you said.. "you cant be a part time planner"!!! I've also recignized that making the decision to plan better, I can have peace and ease of mind, but today Coach Lisa, you made me look at the fact that, if I know that giving myself the space and peace and ease of mind is a form of Self-Love...then in choosing not to plan... I'm choosing to hate myself... WOW...why am I doing that!!!? And that's a choice!!!? TODAY I'M DECIDING TO CHANGE THAT!!!
What a sweet lady and what a sweet soul you are💕
Thank you so much Lisa. I've listened to so many clips on procrastination and what you said today to me.. Made so much sense so clear and straight forward. It meant something strong to me when you said. Stopping to procrastinate is a show of self love. Wow so profound. That's how I show myself love. Thank you
#BOL planning is a form of self love. I have procrastinated over seeing this talk as I have been holding some pride in my ability to get things done at the last minute. I have never considered the cost of procrastinating to my joy in the experience until the past month. Today I was ready to hear this and take action to change this habit
