This. It’s a laundry basket full of clean clothes. Of course, these clothes were once dirty. Dingy. Maybe even a bit smelly. But now, after an intense wash, rinse, and spin in my Maytag washer with my Tide Clean Breeze, they have been cleansed. Ready to wear again. Ready to serve their purpose. But as long as I choose to leave the clothes in the basket, they serve no purpose. They remain dormant, wrinkled, unsorted, lifeless, and useless. This idea reminds me so much of people and self improvement. Oftentimes, we as people notice our shortcomings like our mistakes, our bad decisions, and our setbacks. We acknowledge where we went wrong. We are open to change and have changed. However, inside of us is idea after idea. Thought after thought. Lying dormant. Full of wrinkles. An unorganized clean mess. Vibrant but lifeless and useless at the same time. We are waiting to rescue ourselves from ourselves. Unfortunately, some never do. Be encouraged. You have evolved for the best or perhaps you are still evolving. That’s ok. What’s not ok is that you sell yourself short. That you don’t show up for yourself. Take all that is within you and use it to your advantage. Your self improvement is for you to use as you see fit. Reach deep inside, pull it out, shake out the wrinkles and wear it. Wear your self improvement. Wear it just like its your favorite shirt. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sofia-d-pelt-olds/support

Procrastination is the action of delaying or putting something off. Although our procrastinations are often individual and secret to others, it can manifest openly in many different forms. Procrastination affects all people of all ethnicities from all socioeconomic groups and of all ages. From males to females and 15 year olds to 65 year olds, procrastination exists. Just ask my 15 year old daughter, Necia, who has a new year’s goal to not procrastinate. She inspired my thoughts as to this topic. I call procrastination the silent serial killer. Why is that? Simple. Procrastination is not accounted for. It is hoarded in one’s mind and often silent to the outside world. It kills dreams, goals, and intentions over and over again. Procrastination is a repeat offender that goes unnoticed until it manifests externally. Procrastination effects its victims in more ways than stealing and killing our plans for advancement. It is the culprit for anxiety, depression, and even low self esteem. If procrastination seeps in, it plants seeds of worry, sadness, hopelessness, and inadequacy. Not seeing that task through (which is procrastination at its best) leads to those very ideas. When procrastination attacks mental health, one’s physical health is at risk too. Studies show that feelings of depression lead to headaches, extreme fatigue, and even vision problems. Be encouraged. You have the power to penalize procrastination. Practice some positive self talk that goes against the procrastination. Identify a trustworthy accountability partner who you can share your intentions with. Be willing to be called out as to your pending plans. Write your goals and include deadlines. And if you don’t meet those deadlines, make sure you made progress and keep moving in the right direction. Procrastination does not have to be your silent serial killer. Call it as you see it, and stop procrastination in its tracks. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sofia-d-pelt-olds/support
