Inaction Creates Conflict

This notion is from the book, “Finding Your Zone”.  If you struggle with procrastination or lack of will, I highly recommend this book.  It’s amazing how much anxiety and tension is produced by inaction.  If we can learn to act immediately when we have an idea, commitment or chore to do it will dramatically improve our productivity and sense of well being.  So the Nike slogan, “Just Do It” has deeper meaning than expected.

Michael Lardon teaches us to go on Auto-Pilot and just move quickly into the thing that is causing us anxiety without getting “all worked up”.  Brilliant.  Maybe we should stop thinking so much and “Just Do It”.
