As much as I love change, recently I have to admit to feeling overwhelmed and wanting to transport myself back about 15 yrs to when our kids were small. When hugs were generous and life revolved around maintaining our home and throwing food in their general direction regularly, Oh and yelling. I'm the loudest in our family. ( yes, there's a certain sense of pride in that. 3 sons! Hello!? )
Life is so full of change right now, I tend to migrate to mind numbing activities to absorb my time and distract me from unknowns, and all the things that are pressing for my attention, that to be honest, I really don't want to do.
My go to avoidance's? Facebook, pinterest or basic web searching along with emails, oh and food.
I justify with saying I'm " connecting" or " encouraging", " supporting" or " de-stressing". ( hungry?)
All of which are true.( occasionally,well, more often than not, except probably the hungry)
I read a couple weeks ago, I won't be able to quote it spot on, but the gist is...
Whatever you find yourself doing when you procrastinate, is probably what you should be doing for your livelihood.
Waste copious amounts of time on the computer? while eating my way through our cupboards and fridge?
Not feelin' it.
But really, the heart of the matter there is the heart of my matter and what matters to me.
Encouraging, supporting, challenging, inspiring, doling out hope, loving on, blessing, edifying, speaking truth with love and being a cheerleader.
That's my procrastination mode, I want to care for and love on people.
(sometimes with a swift kick to the butt....but that's love that some people need!)
So, here I've found another way to procrastinate...
I'm gonna do my best to share my life, and hopefully, inspire, give hope to, and encourage others to live their best lives and maybe find..... your procrastination mode could be your life's calling!
