 So I have a question it relates to procrastination and it is from mannish. I think I hope I'm pronouncing that right and Mannish recently was watching I think some of my videos on Procrastination, which I think is a different approach to how to overcome it. And so thanks for the question and And thanks actually I shouldn't mention my little corner of YouTube here I've got a few new subscribers lately and I suppose a benchmark for me a small channel here cozy little corner 500 subscribers I mean, I think that's a pretty cool thing. It's a what we talk about here our psychological issues Talk about mental well-being how to live more authentically And when I started this channel, it was like I was really making videos for People I was working with so the fact that 500 it sounds like a small number to me. I think it's great So I continue to make videos here if people are responding to them like that. It's lovely to get feedback So I really appreciate it but mannish's question was about procrastination and His attempts to kind of move Through that block to action was to just you know, he's heard advice before of Just forget the thinking about it and just jump into action Just just take action and I think he's probably asked me what I feel about that because you know He's tried it before and he's found that it's led to quite a number of failures for him Negative outcomes and now he's got maybe a fear of failure about this of this just taking action thing hasn't always panned out for him so What do you do with this? This has led him to sort of more in action And what I would say about this is I've heard a lot people say that too of just take action just take action And I'm a big fan of action. There's nothing wrong with action What success looks like for you is Probably going to look like you taking lots of action steps but the missing piece I think is the question Why am I taking this action? What is this for? And I don't mean in terms of outcomes forget the outcomes because I think Manish in this question The focus was maybe on outcomes and the outcomes can be good or bad, right? So you're kind of opening yourself up to having a negative experience in that What is this for is the question we can ask ourselves before we take on any kind of a goal? What do I mean by that? I don't mean outcomes I mean, what is this for in terms of how it's going to make me feel about myself? Is this going to be good for my Relationship with myself for my self-respect and my self-esteem am I going to use this project that I'm on whether it be working towards a business you have or Exams you're doing or something like that. It doesn't matter what the goal is a fitness goal. It can be anything Am I holding the outcomes out there? So that if it doesn't work out for me I can I'm justified in berating myself Criticizing myself put in myself down Because if you leave that option open, I would just say to you don't bother Just leave it What we only moving into is okay. I'm open to take an action But no matter what happens in this thing this goal I am not going to use it as a weapon against myself because that is if you Have ever read or seen any of my other stuff on procrastination. That's really the big problem with it We use these goals these tasks in life as weapons against ourselves So that when we fail or come up short in them. Well, then we can really have a go at ourselves So why am I doing this? Is this? Success in this goal the condition for me to accept myself and like myself You know So it is a little bit deeper what we're talking about here. It's not just take action Well, why would I take action? It's very important question because you can do it for one or two reasons You can do it for setting yourself up for later punishing yourself with negative self-talk Or you can say I'm gonna do this because I don't care what the outcome is. I Have a preference for it. Sure. I'd like it to go well, but if it doesn't go well It's not going to mean anything for my Evaluation of myself. I'm not going to read into who I am as a person if this goes badly for me That's the question that we should be asking Okay, why am I doing this? What is this for? And then you decide what it's for because you do decide what it's for you Do you give it meaning you give everything you do in your life the meaning that it holds for you? And that's your choice. You can decide I know what this is for. This is for me to practice unconditional self-acceptance. I Have a preference and it's okay to have a preference for how do you want things to go? But I'm not gonna I'm not gonna like tie myself to a need for an outcome in order to validate myself because that is a risky business. It really is and You can also work on reinterpreting some of these failures you talk about because failure is a very It's a word that's open to a lot of interpretation So many I hope that helps and again, thanks for all the the new viewers here on this channel And hopefully I'll continue to make more of these videos. I started off making them for just people I was kind of working with and I Enjoy it. So we'll see we'll see guys. Thanks again, and I'll talk to you soon. Bye for now
