Commit to Overcoming Your Inertia
Posted by Ken Lauher
The excuses you frequently employ have taken up residence in your mind, which is dominated by your ego or false self; consequently, they won't simply pack up and leave without putting up a fight. Those excuses have become familiar companions with your ego, and they're always ready and willing to leap to your defense.
What I've found very useful in overcoming these ego-enriched justifications is to have a conversation with myself about who I intend to be and what I'm willing to do in order to bring this about. I call this my "commitment to overcoming inertia" conversation.
I'm aware of my instinctive impulse to stay with the familiar, be inactive, and use the convenient excuses. When it comes to fulfilling my commitment to complete a book at a certain time, for instance, I can always haul out,
I'm too busy... It's too big... It will take a long time... I really don't have the energy... or what have you. Yet my inertia conversation helps me organize a few techniques to eliminate those excuses.
The first thing I do is draw up a contractual agreement with myself that I look at each day. After conversing with myself about overcoming inertia, I put a hand-drawn model of the book's jacket on my desk, so I'm writing from the perspective of acting as if what I want to complete is already here. I then continually remind myself that my word to my highest self (God) is sacred. This alone can push me in the direction of my writing space. Once I'm seated, all that procrastination - supported by excuses - disappears.
I encourage you to make a commitment to give up your inertia. Have a private conversation with your highest self and be willing to hold on to its vision for you, even if the old excuses come trotting back hoping for a sign of weakness on your part. The written agreement helps you recollect that you're in the process of redefining yourself. You are not practicing an Excuses Begone! philosophy for organizing and running your life.
