Navigate your New Year slump with a simple mindset shift 👉

[Image] The Process Is King Stop putting pressure on achieving the result and focus on your development as a result of the process Hello, January is often referred to as the ‘Monday of months’. The end of year buzz that fills December makes way for New Year blues. For most people this causes procrastination, resulting in a slow start to the year. Your air of optimism quickly turns to a fear that your goals are moving further away from your grasp. But we have big targets for this year. It’s important we start strong. So how can we combat procrastination at the start of a new year? Firstly, understand that procrastination isn’t your enemy. It’s a battle between your limbic system and prefrontal cortex in an attempt to protect you from discomfort. Procrastination, therefore, is natural and only becomes an issue when it gets in the way of your important tasks. However, relying on desire alone won’t help you consistently complete these important tasks. There is a correlation between the value you place on a task and the amount you procrastinate. Why? Because the more you desire something, the more pressure you place on yourself to achieve it. The pressure of expectation can cause so much stress that you continually put off the simple daily actions that will bring you closer to achieving your desired goal. Now we have an understanding of why our brains make us feel this way, we can unlock the true secret to having a successful year… The key lies in changing your perspective. In practical terms, this means focusing less on the end goal and more on the journey to get there. You may think it’s cliche, but to stop procrastination, take your goals off a pedestal and prioritize your development into the person you need to become to achieve them.
