- [Instructor] Welcome to the meditation on procrastination.

I've been procrastinating making this meditation.

posture and breathing makes a big difference.

But try to sit with your back upright, really good posture.

a little bit slower, a little bit deeper every time.

you can soften your gaze, and slowly close your eyes,

Now procrastination is an interesting thing.

are the only animals we know of that procrastinate.

It's maybe worth some research for somebody

and realizing that we are not our thoughts,

even though many times, our thoughts seem to control us,

Why do you think you are putting that thing off?

because I might realize that it's harder than I expected,

Maybe I don't think I'm prepared enough to start.

we're getting too caught up in the outcome

'cause that's just a part of this fun experience.

self, define yourself by the action, not the outcome.

Don't define yourself by whether you succeed or fail.

Define yourself as making the effort, showing up,

laughing at this mystery that we call life,

and just putting one foot in front of the other,

you realize that you're making a lot of progress.

especially if you're not doing it at the last minute.

that can hopefully short-circuit any of those thoughts

that have been keeping you from taking action.

For the next minute or so, repeat to yourself,

Keep thinking that for the next minute or so,

So when you're ready, really at your own time,

just become a little bit more aware of your surroundings,

because it just feels big, or overwhelming.

and see where I am at the end of 20 minutes.

If I didn't make any progress, no big deal.

I'm ready to put in another 20 minutes, awesome.

If at the end of the 20 minutes, I wanna keep going,
