- [Instructor] Welcome to the meditation on procrastination

and somewhat ironically, I've been procrastinating

posture and breathing makes a big difference.

So, I really encourage you find a nice firm seat to sit on.

But try to sit with your back upright, really good posture.

a little bit slower a little bit deeper every time,

and when you're ready, you can soften your gaze

Now, procrastination is an interesting thing.

I'm not sure whether we human beings are the only animals

it's may be worth some research for somebody

to figure that out, but we clearly do it.

becoming aware of our thoughts and observing our thoughts

and realizing that we are not our thoughts,

even though many times our thoughts seem to control us

And so let's do that, let's try to observe those thoughts

Why do you think you are putting that thing off?

I'm afraid to start because I might realize

maybe I don't think I'm prepared enough to start.

Another way to think about it is we're getting too caught up

in the outcome versus enjoying the journey

or enjoying whatever the thing is that you're putting off,

'cause that's just a part of this fun experience.

define yourself by the action not the outcome,

don't define yourself by whether you succeed or fail,

showing up and enjoying it, laughing at yourself,

laughing at this mystery that we call life

and just putting one foot in front of the other

and then you can put the other foot in front of that one

especially if you're not going it the last minute.

that can hopefully short-circuit any of those thoughts

that have been keeping you from taking action.

For the next minute or so repeat to yourself

You enjoy action, you are lucky to be able to take action,

Keep thinking that for the next minute or so

All right, so when you're ready, really at your own time,

just become a little bit more aware of your surroundings,

a little bit more aware of your every breath,

because it just feels big or overwhelming.

Hey, let me just put 20 minutes towards it

and see where I am at the end of 20 minutes.

If I didn't make any progress, no big deal,

I'm ready to put another 20 minutes, awesome.

If at the end of the 20 minutes I wanna keep going,

I shouldn't stop myself, I should keep going.

I'm just committing 20 minutes to something,

and then you'll wanna do it, put a smile on your face

And so take it with that playful mindset, enjoy it, smile
