Episode 38 The how & why of goal achievement & procrastination   Today we look at the HOW of goal achievement compared to the WHY of goal achievement , The HOW being the strategy and the why being the rewarding carrot at the final destination or point of goal achievement. In today's podcast I refer..and indeed am inspired to the interesting and informative article written by   Timothy A Pychyl Ph.D The Role of Goal Focus in Reducing Procrastination Where should we focus our attention - process or outcome? It depends. Posted May 27, 2014 https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/dont-delay/201405/the-role-goal-focus-in-reducing-procrastination I really enjoyed this article so make sure you have a read of it and check out his references too. I also talk of the effect of shame and guilt upon our ability to be self aware and I finish by referring to Pema Chodron and look at the importance of facing our fears in order to develop as evolving souls. Thank you so much for listening x Lauren My name is Lauren O

Episode 36 Deep progressive relaxing meditation for realising your authentic self ( stop procrastinating)   Today we put the life hacking to one side and we meditate using a deep visualisation. We combine this peaceful process with a gentle breathing awareness and progressive relaxation to remind ourselves that the answer to who we are always lies within ourselves. Sit down lie down comfortably and we will begin. When we know who we are we will act in authenticity and stop procrastinating.   You may also wish to use this as a simple relaxation, to decrease stress or for sleep therapy.

Episode 35 Stop & Build your own birdhouse of well being- visualise & meditate who you truly are & become your self   Stop procrastinating; No fear. No distractions. “The ability to let what which does not matter truly slide” Quote from The Fight club I think at times it can be quite challenging to know what matters and to identify what to let go of. We can at times get distracted by the trivial stuff of the moment and can lose perspective of the bigger picture. What is the trivial stuff? The trivial stuff is the fluff which takes us away from who we truly are and our greater meaning. In the manic warp speed of life...we can lose touch of the “why” we need to identify “what” matters...the ‘how” of our authentic values, the “how” of our behaviours which support these values, our internal dialogue, our actions...and then notice really notice where our thoughts go.....Because where we our thoughts go we also allow our health, our body our sense of self follows.   So know your thoughts and train you

Episode 34 Little steps change ourselves & our journey can, step by step, change our world Do you ever feel as if life simply passes you by? Would you like to make a difference? Would you like your life to have meaning? Would you like your life to count? In this episode I read a letter from a listener. ( Thank you David)I review our progress towards reducing procrastination, and I look at how little bite sized steps can change ourselves and our journey over time....Little by little .....step by step.... we can each change the community and change our world.   During the episode I refer to two videos : These are    https://youtu.be/1EumnijQBhw ( on the importance of human contact and collective communion) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EumnijQBhw ( on the importance of eye contact and truly seeing each other)   We discuss the relationship between procrastination and the theme of these movies which is reaching out and touching humanity as a community and as individuals. Let's stop watching life pass u

  Episde 33 Be your authentic self. You CAN lose weight, increase fitness, feel happy, & be well NOW.   In this episode as part of our stop procrastinating challenge I look at what you CAN do. There is so much you CAN do...Work on the ‘CANS’ of life. Be the body physically and consciously which you wish to become. By definition Procrastination is ‘not doing’ the stuff that you should be doing in order to be authentic and true to yourself.  When we procrastinate we are putting off being the person we were made to become. We have no greater meaning than being true to our word...Let’s make the stuff which comes out of our mouth real and be true testament to who we authentically are. Procrastination is breaking the promise which we have made to our own sense of self. Every moment in our life matters so lets be true to our self. Every moment in your life matters! This is your life right now. Make every moment matter. We can change our body. We can lose weight. We can increase fitness. .....Life is merely the m

Episode 32 How to lose weight, change your body, and stop procrastinating with Lauren Ostrowski Fenton   Well hello there, Lauren here....I have my coffee in hand and I am sitting in my meditation chair by my beautiful bay window. What a beautiful day it is.   How are you? I hope that you are sleeping well, eating clean, walking daily, and not sweating the small stuff. Its is a daily practice isn't? Navigating through life maintaining well being takes work, resilience and learning. Would you like to change your body? Would you like to lose weight? Well you can. Following much inquiry I am looking today at the relationship between losing weight, changing your body and our ability to reduce procrastination in order to achieve fitness goals. Today we discuss behavioural techniques in order to prepare to lose weight focussing upon knowing your ‘Why”, “how” “when” and “where” .I also talking about the importance of values, the meaning of dedication and developing a ritual when aiming to lose weight and change your

Episode 28 Who am I self awareness and getting stuff done In this podcast episode as part of our ‘great apple pie stop procrastinating series’ we explore how we self-realise or in other words how we get to know our authentic self away from the madding crowds. After all we are not our names, we are not our friends, we are not the cars we drive, or the clothes we wear. We are not who others tell us we are...we define ourselves. No one can do that for us. In the silence through  meditation and self reflection we can realise what gives us our own mojo; our sense of who we inherently are...and what behaviours make us feel that sense of timeless contentment..that sense of quiet purpose...and place a Mona Lisa smile upon our faces. It is only when we start to discover our true self that we can learn to stop procrastinating and face up to who we are, what we want, and how to achieve our purpose.   I also answer Davids letter... "Wasn't sure if we were to share our life moments on our self-discovery. Yet found the hom

Episode 26 of the great apple pie stop procrastinating challenge Fighting procrastination is never just about putting away the coffee cup of life. Simple acts are always about larger more profound beliefs.  It is about having the guts to look into the mirror and see who we really are. Procrastination is about fear of success...it is about facing the fears head on..this is a confronting process and it is sometimes just plain hard...but that is ok.... procrastination is also about being positive in the process. ..Having love in the process...It’s about looking at life head on...with perspective..but also with kindness If you want to change simple behaviours we need to keep front of mind that procrastination is about avoiding doing the real meaty stuff that you should be doing that we should be doing to be the best me that we could be..it is never simply about not putting away the coffee cup...it is about the symbolism behind the coffee cups..what is the symbolism behind your coffee cups? So Homework... 1. Keep

Episode 25 Hi Lauren here...This is part of the Great apple pie 14 day stop procrastinating challenge which officially starts Monday...in three days. Who decides that we are procrastinating? We do!   ...After all.... you define yourself ...You decide that you are procrastinating...You decide that you are not doing the stuff that you need to do. Ask yourself... Who are you? What are your values? What do you need? What defines you. This is about you knowing yourself. Getting to know yourself requires quality reflection, creating emotional, and physical space to self realise. I want you to take the time away from all distractions and sit down and reflect and meditate on who you inherently are. You are who you decide to be...we can get clogged up with other people stories...emotional layers of the past...of relationships or experiences which you choose to put on. I want you to realise that when you do not take the time to get to know yourself you are procrastinating Don't put off being the person now that you
