Remove Your Emotions

Have you ever gotten through with a task that you put off and put off and put off until it was no longer possible to put it off anymore. Then you complete the task and you look back and think was that it? What was I waiting so long to do that task for?
Do you know what was behind this? What prevented you from doing what you were totally capable of doing all along?
Emotions.
The primary emotion in procrastination is fear. Fear comes from a lot of different places but in procrastination it has its roots in perfectionism. Perfectionism says I cannot do this until its perfect. I cannot fail at this or else.
The emotion of fear is powerful, we all have it, we cannot avoid it. Courageous people do the 'thing' in spite of the fear. There is not an absence of fear for the courageous. Acting out of courage simply means more intense feelings may be felt all at once but the good news is that it is all at once. The person acting out of courage and personal power is not avoiding so as a result of embracing the challenge and acting in spite of emotion grows. Contrast this with the person that acts only a little or timidly or avoids acting at all.
The other emotions can be tempered if they are identified. Being overwhelmed, distract-able, frustrated. The best thing to do with these is to identify them and act anyway.
This seems so basic and simplistic. This is more powerful than you know.
Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote: "Do the thing and you will have the power." This was reworked as Nike put it "Just Do It". The thing that identifying the emotion does and doing the thing anyways is it is a practice in faith. Faith removes and conquers fear. The thing may not be done well or you may even fail but you are one step closer because you have ruled out the way not to do 'it'. This will allow you to see that failing is not the end of the world in fact it is necessary to succeed. There is no success without failures.
Remove the emotions and get the tasks done. The energy spent thinking will be more then if you attempt fail and develop the habit of doing again.
