Procrastination!
Those of us who are driven to make a difference in this world often have a warped sense of procrastination.
We have so much to do every day to meet the needs of those we care about. Those people may be clients, family, friends, or community members. We carry a sense of always being behind because there is so very much to be doing.
This morning, as I was sitting watching my Sunday morning programs, a part of me was saying, "You need to get up and get going. You have a lot to do on weekends in order to be ready for the week. Stop wasting time!!!"
Yet, as I listened to spirit, I questioned whether it was wasting time. I see this question as a sign of my own personal spiritual growth. In the past, when I was in my ego-driven "should, would, could" world, I would not have questioned this sense of being without doing.
Procrastination Strategy
I suspect if you are reading this post, you have done (or currently do) this to yourself. This is true more for those of us who are goal-driven, hard-working, and other-focused.
It's true for my author clients. Every. Single. One.
It's why future authors hire me to help with their books. I'm not going to try to sell you on the fact you need me to ghostwrite for you. If this is your path, you won't find my selling ghostwriting services as welcome to you.
Instead, I must tell you about my Virtual Author Retreat (VAR). I developed this program with the help of Emmy Wu. She helped me redesign my previous in-person author retreat into a fully customized yet streamlined retreat for future authors.
The VAR is a fraction of the cost of an in-person retreat, yet it delivers all the same benefits to future authors. It gets the author out of a "should" place regarding their future book and into a well-designed blueprint to guide them toward the day they will be able to hold a book they authored in their hand.
Each VAR is as unique as the authors who engage with me for this guidance. Some of the VAR authors just want to get the nagging sense of "needing" to be a book author off their mind. It is a distraction to have this knowing when there is so much needed from their current clients now. The book may be months, or even years away. With the VAR blueprint they can take the tiny steps toward the goal over time.
Customized Book Author Blueprint
Some people are ready to author a book now, but they don't know what to do. They don't have time to write it themselves and every day feels like procrastination to them. Since they absolutely KNOW their purpose includes being a book author, it almost feels like a burden to them.
These people are hounded by their purpose to start a book. They often have even investigated what it would take to get the book completed in this totally democratized book publishing space. Anyone can be an author today. It just takes time.
Powerful thought leaders, particularly in the spiritual, heart-led, soul-driven space don't have time to spare. They know a sense of procrastination is an old movie playing in their head, but they also know not taking action fails to move them toward their destiny. Their ultimate legacy requires being a book author.
If you need help following your inner guidance system toward a book you have authored, reach out to me. We can DM each other for me to answer questions. Or - you can request a pdf outlining the basics of the VAR. Either way, when you have had your rest, take action toward your book and learn about the VAR.
