CHRISTIAN SINGLES : GUIDE TO
ENDING LONELINESS AND DEPRESSION Cont.
Chapter 13. Unmasking Procrastination: No it’s Not
Laziness!
Examine why you put things off. Are you afraid you can’t accomplish
it? Do it in small steps, if possible. Do you think you work better
under pressure? (not true.) Instead pretend you have a deadline, and
throw yourself into it. Get all pumped up and finish the task. Do you
have a drawer full of half-finished projects or work? Look at it
positively; it’s half finished! You don’t have to do it all over
again. Just put forth a little energy to get it done. Is your fear based
on someone else controlling you, making you do something you don’t
want to do? You may have memories from the past of some authority figure
who was very strict, and you’re still subconsciously rebelling. Admit
that this authority figure no longer exists in your present life, and
you want to complete the task for your own satisfaction.
Are you wasting too much time watching TV? Sometimes we fritter away
our available time by distracting ourselves with television or movies.
Break the cycle of avoidance! Instead, turn the tables on avoidance:
decide which programs are really important to you (and I hope one of
them is a comedy!) Use these shows as rewards for taking care of the
mail or laundry, or working on your steps to overcoming loneliness. Then
you can enjoy those programs with a clear conscience. Take charge of
your free time and you will take charge of your life! Do it with gusto.
You CAN get out of this rut. The Lord has great plans to bless you,
Christian single!. This hurting world needs your talents, prayers, and
special gifts the Lord will give you, which you may not presently have.
He chooses the least likely candidate to do great exploits and then
empowers them with all they need to accomplish those exploits. Think of
Moses, or the Apostles; all you need is a willingness to say, “Here I
am Lord, send me.”
