Self Help

Prioritization eliminates procrastination.

I rise above the negative effects of disorganization by prioritizing my life. Assigning value to certain things helps me determine what matters most and which task needs to be completed first.

I break the habit of procrastinating by ordering my responsibilities. When I make a list of things to do, I sort them based on due date and level of importance. I prioritize the tasks on my to-do list so that I can complete them in a timely manner.

Organizing my life initially requires time, thought, and energy but in the end, it rewards me with more time, thought, and energy as I increase in efficiency.

I am stronger than the urge to put things off until the last minute. I speak to myself with logic and consider the long-term benefits of staying on task. I prefer a longer, higher quality time of rest than constant breaks of purposeless inactivity. So I avoid time-wasting activities in order to achieve the task at hand.

I refuse to wait until the last minute to get going on a task because it prevents me from doing my best. Organizing myself allows me to produce better quality work. Prioritizing is my weapon against mediocrity because it produces excellence.

I prefer to work hard first and play later rather than enjoy myself first and leave my duties to the last minute. Relaxation is much more enjoyable when I have completed my responsibilities than when they are hanging over my head.

Today, I choose to prioritize my duties, organize myself with a plan of action, and get right to work so that I can enjoy a relaxing break when my work is complete.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. What areas of my life could use some prioritizing?
2. Why is it better to work hard first and play later?
3. How do I feel when I procrastinate?

My life is headed in the right direction.

I turn away from negative behaviors and embrace a positive direction for my life. I am confident that the effort I put forth today keeps me on a path to success. With every step I take, I come one step closer to achieving my dreams and fulfilling my purpose.

My determination drives me to persevere in hope. I discard doubts from my thoughts because they are nothing but hurdles to my destiny. My sense of positive expectation is greater than my fear.

What is behind me may not be ideal, but ahead of me is the best life I was created to have. The mistakes in my past serve as pivot points as I learn my lesson and choose to turn my ways.

I have the will to bring to a halt behaviors that shift my vision and stunt my progress. I am courageous and dedicated enough to turn away from distractions.

I am blessed because there are people in my life who help me stay focused on the path to success. Members of my family, spiritual leaders and business colleagues care about me and want to see me succeed.

Today, I choose to press on with courage and determination on the road before me. I embrace those who walk alongside of me, helping me stay accountable. I accept the instruction and direction of the leaders around me because their experience benefits me.

My curiosity enriches my daily life.

Simple pleasures in life often provide the most treasured moments of the day. One “built-in” pleasure that I enjoy is my inquisitive mind. Having curiosity about people, places and things broadens my intellectual horizons.

I find my curiosity to be entertaining and even engaging for others. My mind thirsts to learn new facts and experience new situations.

It is natural for me to have questions each day. As I look around my home, I find many sources of curiosity. Where was the foyer rug made? What is the best way to change the refrigerator’s water filter?

Whatever the question, I strive to allow my mind to let the inquiries flow. Discovery is the result of my curiosity.

I propel myself forward in life through seeking answers to my many questions each day. I am never bored because I always have curiosity. My questions lead me to research subject after subject. I like this very special part of me.

Having natural inquisitiveness is something to be proud of. My curiosity encourages me to think, ponder, and cogitate over the subject at hand. My life is full of these remarkable questions. I am fulfilled by my own curiosity.

Today, I choose to openly embrace my natural curiosity. I feel joy at all the myriad questions, which inspire me to seek answers and knowledge. My curiosity truly enriches my daily life.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. How do I feel about my curiosity?
2. Do I allow my questions to be heard? Do I research topics and seek answers to satisfy my inquisitiveness?
3. How can I encourage my natural inclination to be curious and question everything?
