Constipation of the mind

At first procrastination and constipation may seem quite different and strange to discuss. But today I am asking you to take a closer look. Procrastination is the art of delaying action when the opportunity is there to do so. Before starting my business I suffered from this in my studies at University and I must say I really cheated myself. Instead of planning out what study I would do for the whole semester, I would do this in lots, then I would miss a few items of study, then I would need to add in extra hours, and in the end I was staying up till 3am to finish an assignment due in the morning.

Once I had started my business the layout was made in a similar fashion. I planned out week by week and wrote down tasks and action I needed to take each day. The strange thing was, I completed everything… and added in tasks along the way! This was a rewarding feeling I must say, but the main difference between my studies and my business was that I enjoyed doing my business. When studying it was if I had to force myself out of bed to get behind a text book, and now I am bursting at the seems with excitement throughout my day running my business.

When thinking about constipation, it is a blockage of the body systems. And what do we think procrastination is? To me the best way to put it is constipation of the mind… A blockage between oneself and the outcome residing in the mind! In my case, I did not enjoy my studies, lacked motivation, and did not take it upon myself to change this. Other blockages that come to mind common in society are belief in oneself, worthiness, belief in the universe providing it and like me, people simply don’t enjoy what they do, yet continue to do it anyway! So next time you find yourself on the couch, making excuses to not do something, stop, and ask yourself ‘Why am I avoiding this really?’ because constipation of the mind is the worst kind and might be the one thing you need to overcome to have the life of your dreams.

Allowing the good stuff

From the beliefs held in modern society today, many have not allowed themselves the pleasure of wanting what they truly desire (or believing its possible for them to have it). Potentially, this is from a lack of belief in ones ability, or not seeing in any way how it could ever manifest. Whatever the reason, it is one of the fundamental causes preventing us from having what it is we want.

The truth is rarely spoken, that if our mind can conceive it, and we believe it, we can achieve it! We must be ok with allowing the good stuff, the things we want most to manifest in our life. At first when I heard this concept I thought 'of course I'm ok with receiving what I want'. Yet its only been recently I discovered I had not allowed myself to have success for myself due to an old, contradicting belief... that I must do everything completely different to what I do now to have success. Upon this discovery, I have let go of thinking I need to change, and the success I have been able to create for myself in these short days is mind blowing!

So go on, allow yourself to dream big, you never know... it might just happen!
