Ultimately, a decision is not a decision until it's acted upon. Until that point, it remains a dream.

Here's how to ease yourself out of procrastination and into action using what I callrepparttar "triple A" method...

Realize that even withrepparttar 130537 best analysis, careful planning, and due diligence,repparttar 130538 outcome can never really be known in advance and there comes a time when you've got to takerepparttar 130539 risk and move forward.

Step #2 - Ask

Ask yourself: "What'srepparttar 130540 worst that can happen here?"

Look atrepparttar 130541 worst case scenario, and ask yourself what you'd really lose from it. Most often, it's a lot less than you might have feared.

And what can you do ifrepparttar 130542 worst scenario was to materialize? Could you backtrack? Change direction? Start again? Few things are ever truly final.

Usually you'll find you've got nothing to worry about.

Step #3 - Act

Finally, act. Just do it. Takerepparttar 130543 next step.

Making a decision and acting on it is enormously liberating.

You get a sudden burst of momentum as you cast offrepparttar 130544 shackles of procrastination and finally move forward towards your goal.

The old maxim "If in doubt, leave it out" is essential advice when driving or engaging in other hazardous activities.

For most decisions in life, though, you can afford to take a little risk and start living.

The next time you feel stuck, userepparttar 130545 'AAA' technique to help you move forward.
