The Art of Approaching

(Rick Simeone) #1

one wants to talk to me! I’m alone!” But you’re choosing to sit at home and not go out.
You’re choosing to stay timid and shy instead of meeting new women. No one is
keeping you from getting what you want but yourself.


When you complain, you create resentment, not just in yourself, but in others. Stop
complaining and know you have control over your life and what tasks you choose to
partake in.


Procrastination
Procrastinators are people who put off doing what they have agreed to do or what they
know they should do. If you’re a procrastinator, you’re always looking to avoid doing
something, be it pay bills, clean your house, call someone up on the phone, etc.


Procrastinators are bingers of comfort, which is actually just a form of laziness. They
sleep too much, read too much, watch TV too much, and never really find that comfort
they’re looking for.


They feel overwhelmed by everything they feel they have to do, and self pity and
resentment wash over them like tidal waves. With a procrastinator, you will always hear
the phrase:


“I’ll do it tomorrow.”


Guess what? They most likely won’t!


A procrastinator’s non-compliance with reasonable expectations annoys others, who will
inevitably criticize them for their inaction. In response, the typical procrastinator will
either blame themselves, thus creating feelings of guilt and shame, or angrily blame their
critics, calling them unreasonable, bossy, and unkind. Through this, they are able to
regenerate their familiar “Poor me” self-pity.


Procrastinators have a “forgetful” habit, which is a pattern based on deep-seated, self-
centered, immature feelings of self pity and resentment about feeling like they have to do
what others want. But procrastinators also rebel against the rules they set for themselves!
This is because procrastinators feel victimized by authority – be it others or themselves.
They put off what they feel the have to do in order to gain a false feeling of power.


So how do we fix this?


Procrastinators avoid responsibility, so the worst thing a procrastinator can do is try to
add more responsibility to their lives. Things like setting goals and getting organized will
not help a procrastinator. They will not stick to rigid timetables that spell out hour-by-
hour what they must do.


Instead of trying to make your life more stringent, try to loosen up and give yourself a set
of permissions that will help you rather than hinder you.
