Procrastination

I have been engaged in big time avoidance for the last few weeks. I need to finish a task this morning before I go to lunch. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. It will be done.

May you be both gentle and firm with yourself.

May you have compassionate for the parts of yourself that are afraid of failure or demand perfection; that dislike boring, dirty or unpleasant tasks; that are fearful of difficulty or an uncertain outcome; or that conjure up upsetting memories; but may you give those parts little influence in directing your actions.

May you effortlessly find the part of yourself that is disciplined and that feels satisfaction in the completion of a task.

May you begin without much fuss or bother.

May you find some unexpected joy or reward in the doing.

May your task be much easier and completed quicker than you expected.

Lastly, may you feel relief in the task now well done.
