Comments on: So you’re procrastinating because you’re scared, but what’s the real risk? http://empiricalcoaching.com/blog/procrastination/so-your-scared-but-whats-the-real-risk/ Sun, 05 Feb 2012 23:13:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: chiquita http://empiricalcoaching.com/blog/procrastination/so-your-scared-but-whats-the-real-risk/#comment-1155 chiquita Mon, 01 Sep 2008 17:37:31 +0000 http://empiricalcoaching.com/blog/?p=59#comment-1155 I see this is very informative, and I will try and put some of this to work. I am not a good person with time and things to get done. Some time I guess I just can't get something done. It feel like something is stopping me. I want to get it done, but can't. I feel stuck now all the time now that I am retired. My thoughts are clear about the the future. I really hate that. I was not like that at first, I was on the ball, so to speak. I would like to change that. Chiquita I see this is very informative, and I will try and put some of this to work. I am not a good person with time and things to get done.

Getting it back in motion is where I have to go, and you reminded me about the way this works. Thanks Anth...this is why I needed a coach at this point of my life!

I find that the worst fear for me is not any physical threat, but the intrinsic threat of risk management. Identifying what it is, what are the possible outcomes, weighing in on the pro's and con's. Unfortunately, this process leaves me with fear in my decision making. Your action regarding the mountain climbing is akin to the chinese proverb of following the path of least resistance. Incidentaly, I have a mountain bike but maybe I should try rock climbing! You provide a good perspective on the approach to understanding our fears.

I have also been wondering if my lack of Confidence could be fueling my lack of Motivation, which then adds more fuel to my Procrastination. And then you add Fear to the Fire!!! Incredible! If I really concentrate on Fears-either real,partly real ,or imaginary - could the cycle acually be reversed? It is worth a try . Refering to your mountain climbing, Anth, I believe Everyone has some form of mountain to climb - but I seem to have a bad habit- or behaviour, of making my mountains out of molehills !!! is this by Fear??? Back to the drawing board - to find my risk score ! Anth -Great food for thought , and ACTION.
