Completion is power. Agree?

       Kelsye Nelson’s tweet of yesterday morning seized me by my shoulders.
   As a recovering, but not recovered, procrastinator, I saw her “Completion is power,” tweet’s finger pointing right at me. (And as a practicing dyslexic, it took me minute to realize that I’d misread the quote as originally found on Gretchen Rubin’s

Happiness Project blog: “Completion is Powerful,” said Lewis Howe.)
       Fortunately, I saw “Completion is power,” which was what I really needed to see.
       And I’m going to keep that concept’s finger pointed at me for the next couple of weeks so it has a chance to inhabit my psyche.
       I don’t know about you, but I put off the silliest things, like answering emails, putting my shoes away, making telephone calls, taking clothes to the cleaners, going to the market, etc. At the same time, I’ve also accomplished some amazing things. I’ve provisioned our boat to travel north of Vancouver for months (and months), I’ve written 2.98 books (actually more), and I learned Chopin’s First Ballade which I played for my mother and birthmother as a Christmas present. So I know how to get things done.
       But all those little procrastinations sap my power and happiness. They haunt me. They weigh on me like Sysiphean tasks.
       Which is crazy, since once I’ve taken a little time to complete them they no longer disrupt my life.
       These coming weeks, I’m going to figure out what I’m really afraid of, because I know that when I hold myself back it’s because I fear something. Even if I don’t feel afraid, I know it’s lurking back there. Worse, I know that unfelt fears can actually be huge, numbed terrors (read chapter six of The Happiness Path to know what I mean). I’m open to what I discover. I’m even open to finding out that my procrastination is simply a bad habit. But I doubt it. Stay tuned

I like to think of it as The Law of Creating because it’s bigger than the Law of Attraction.

"If, as Carolyn Myss posits, biography is biology, feeding our cells positive mental experiences can be as healing as having the actual positive experience itself. The method that Joanne developed is called "processing". Anyone can learn it with a very little practice. Most of us try it out on the molehills in our lives, only to discover that it levels the mountains just as easily. For a world that hasn't the time or luxury of a lifetime of psychoanalysis, this is a hands on tool for personal insight and change." K. Jensen
