The Top 10 Ways to Overcome ProcrastinationWritten by By ADD Management Coach Jennifer Koretsky
Continued from page 1
Don't be afraid to balance routine or monotonous tasks with something that is more likely to hold your interest. You can pay bills while you watch TV, or talk on phone while cleaning up house. 7. Delegate Do you find yourself procrastinating on chores at home like cleaning and laundry? Or maybe paperwork at office? Delegate them! Kids, cleaning people, laundry services, administrative assistants and more are all available to take some of those boring tasks off your list and free up your time for stuff you'd rather be doing. 8. Prioritize Perhaps you're procrastinating on a task because it's really not that important. Maybe you'd love to re-organize your book shelves, but never get around to it. If it sounds like a good idea but in end it's really not that important to you, don't let it hang over your head. 9. Get in Touch with End Result Before you begin a task or project that has high procrastination potential, get in touch with outcome. When task is finished, what will that mean to you? What will be better in life as a result? 10. Just Do It!! Don't think about it too much, just jump in and get it done!

Continued from page 1
I define loving Adult as part of us that is open to learning from and connected with a spiritual source of love, wisdom and guidance. It is part of us that takes loving action in our own behalf, nurtures us when we feel fear and grief, and operates from truth from Spirit rather than from lies of our wounded self – our ego. Just as children can manage loss when there is a loving adult to help them, child in us can manage loss when we have a strong, spiritually connected loving Adult self to help us. As a loving Adult we know we are never alone. We know we are always being loved, sustained and guided by a spiritual Source. It is often not enough to have a strong religious or spiritual connection. If you have not been using that connection to develop your loving Adult self, then there is no part of you to bring love and comfort to yourself when you most need it, and no part of you that can take loving action for yourself, especially when things are overwhelming. People who have nervous breakdowns are people who are not operating from a loving Adult in their everyday lives. They are able to function as long as things go well, but when things fall apart, as they often do in life, these people may also fall apart. Without a loving Adult to bring love and truth of Spirit to them, they end up feeling too alone to manage loss. The Inner Bonding process we teach is a very powerful process for developing a strong loving Adult self. When Inner Bonding is practiced consistently, loving Adult naturally develops. We all can develop enough personal power and a deep enough spiritual connection to sustain us during difficult times. We don’t have to be at mercy of life’s challenges. Practicing 6 Steps of Inner Bonding is like putting money in bank for when it might be needed. The more you practice process and develop loving Adult, easier it is to handle life’s big challenges as they arise.
