The Perfect Procrastinator

“New Year, New Me…”

Mmmm-hmmmm. Typical saying of a procrastinator. How so? Is it REALLY necessary for us to wait an ENTIRE YEAR just to get our ish together??

With today being the 1st of January in this ever-so-promising 2019, I thought, “hey, why not WAIT to post this until the first?” Wait…and wait I did. Now, some may argue that this was more strategic planning than procrastination but my argument is, why couldn’t I have posted this sooner in the lead-up to the new year? Procrastination, is why.

What else might you find yourself waiting to do until, “the right time,” of which usually never gets here? Lose weight (again), start/finish school, get married, have a baby, yadda-yadda?? So stop waiting and start doing. My mother used to always say that whether or not you are doing something, time is still going to pass, so why not be doing something productive?

I married at 38, had my first baby at 40 and am going for my BS in Health Care Administration at 42, while engaged in several lines of work, including, baking from home (FabulistaCookies.com). It is never too late to start again, or for the first time. I get so frustrated at myself for the limitations I place on myself, all the while looking around me to see which circumstances I can blame.

Enough with waiting for the right time…sometimes you have to be aggressive and just make time, even if that means being inconvenient to yourself or those around you to get it done. Getting up a tad earlier or staying up a bit longer may be what it takes…so do it. We have no problem “sacrificing” for the fun stuff…now how about doing it for that which has longevity in our lives?

Take care of you first, even in the most minute way, and the rest of the world will unfold around you.

Happy 2019 New Year, kittens…may this year purr of Love, Peace, Financial Prosperity and Longevity…all in that order. MUAH!
