Every summer I am reminded of the benefits of meeting new folks live and in person. While I appreciate the benefits of our increasingly social networking world, I love the eye-to-eye contact and physical presence of being with people that offers community the old-fashion way. Sensing that the physical experience is being lost more and more, I will hold a few programs this Fall in LA where we gather and share a deeper time together. Join me for a 4 week Women's Group and a 4 week Meditation Class (both men and women). Both will be held in Santa Monica with a limited participation to increase intimacy.
With September, we close out the summer and begin afresh and hopefully re-invigorated. For each one of us that may mean something completely different. Getting the kids back to school, having a child go off to college, hanging onto a tenuous job situation, looking to re-invent yourself or kick-starting a commitment to getting fit for life. Are you procrastinating about what to do next? Go over the suggestions that I make this month and apply at least one nugget to your life and see where it takes you. Consider my September recession offer of two coaching calls on the phone (easy peasy, travel-free and rich in value) for the price of one. Each session is guaranteed to give you ideas for the serious procrastinators out there on what's next for you.
Wherever you are this month in the country or abroad appreciate the color as the seasons change to remind us that we do too. How awesome it is!
namaste and sweet blessings,
Rev. Dr. Louise-Diana
An end of Summer/early Fall evening walk or jog brings its own kind of euphoria, but the sensation known as runner's high is unleashed by a chemical cocktail of endorphins and dopamine. Dopamine is released whenever we try something new, so just changing up your routine can give a boost. Whether its taking an alternate route for a run, switching the time of day to do yoga, or listening to different music, keep it fresh. The release of endorphins- the body's natural opiates- correlates to effort. The more you workout, the more endorphins your body will release. No matter how busy your life gets, working out is non-negotiable.
9 WAYS TO KICK THE PROCRASTINATION HABIT
Values, commitments and rewards all make successful people who they are. They "banish the gremlins", divide and conquer long lists of goals, focus on the target and - simply enough - aim on the target.
1. Personal values development. Take the time to find out what you really want in life, what your personal values are. Do you want more time, more money, better health, greater self esteem and confidence, more fulfilling relationships, a different career, set up a business? When we procrastinate it's often because what we are planning to do is not really aligned with what we truly want. We may be scared of our skills (or perceived lack of) or fear ridicule from others.
2. Make health a priority. Without good health we are less likely to have the energy and dynamism needed to make positive changes in our lives and it's easier (and necessary if you're very ill) to procrastinate. So ensure that you have a nourishing diet, sleep well, exercise and meditate. Incidentally, it is thought that regular meditation helps delay the worst effects of the ageing process.
3. Visualize your life without procrastination. See and feel the benefits in your life if you didn't procrastinate. What could you do and achieve? Begin to act as if you're not a procrastinator. Write down, draw, imagine your life as a film. Use affirmations to help you.
4. Banish the Gremlin. That little voice which runs on auto in your head - that dismisses any idea that you might have. It says things like "I'm not in the mood" "I don't have time" "I can't do this". Stop running on auto, replace the "should's" "oughts" "have to" with "want to" "desire". You have a choice. Acknowledge your choices and banish the Gremlin. Again, using affirmations can help you replace the Gremlin with more positive alternatives.
5. Over commitment. Saying "yes" to everything - often leaves you feeling tired and without the energy to focus on what is most important to you. This leads to procrastination as projects and tasks are dropped. Identify what is most important to you and only focus on those areas which will make the biggest difference to your life. It will enhance your focus and motivation.
6. Setting personal professional goals. It's hard to motivate yourself when you don't have a good idea of what you want to accomplish. So when setting goals think about what you want to achieve in the short term and long term. Techniques for doing so include the SMART strategy. S = specific M = measurable A= Action R = Realistic T = Time based. Use goal setting software to help you in goal planning and setting.
7. Prioritize Your Goals. Develop a plan or schedule to help you reach your goals. In doing so you will begin to identify whether some elements need to be included or enhanced or dropped completely. Also remember to be flexible, revisit your goals regularly and modify or drop if appropriate. Just because a goal is written down doesn't mean that it is set in stone!
8. Divide and conquer. Once you've prioritized your goals, divide them into smaller chunks. Sometimes we procrastinate because a project seems really large that the scale of it overwhelms us and puts us into a temporary form of paralysis - you don't know where to start, so you don't start at all! Approach each project - especially large ones - on a step by step basis.
9. Reward yourself. Once you start to complete tasks, reward yourself by giving yourself something that you want. So instead of seeing a film before you complete a task, see it afterwards and make it a reward for you. Just get started. No excuses. Don't wait until you're "in the mood". The mood never comes! It is a clever camouflage and a delaying tactic. What you resist persists! Start with what is easiest, so that you experience immediate success, which will give you the fuel and motivation to upgrade and take on larger projects.
Do any of the above and you'll be well on your way to Kicking the Procrastination Habit. And if you're procrastinating over doing any of the above, then remember that life is the biggest deadline of all!

Scared and sacred are spelled with the same letters. Awful proceeds from the same root word as awesome. Terrify and terrific. Every negative experience holds the seed of transformation.

About ten years ago I hit my early 40ies and the weight began to really pile on. I was stressed, overworked and ending a marriage. It wasn't a great time in my life and I felt like I was at the lowest point. A friend who had worked with reve dr , spoke highly of her and the minut I met her I knew I had met a wonderful teacher. Deeply spiritual and very funny, she slowly brought me back to who I was. The fact that I am now slim and in a great relationship is a small benefit and most important, I am alive again. I do a session with her every time I visit LA just for a tune up! Rev. Dr. Louise-Diana has a fan for life.
