Why procrastination sucks:

When I started this blog my idea was to be perfect, ensure I please everyone and make sure it was the best blog out there. Well that didn't happen.....I failed and failed hard.  Moving forward  I am going to post things that are meaningful and memories to me, my kids and family/friends.  Its our life, its not perfect but I love everyone in it and will share our journeys as we go through them to look back at the lessons and laughter we have enjoyed together. I have listed the three things that have been keeping me from this blog, life and just living.  Today is the start of me not procrastinating anymore and enjoying things with no worries.

You feel things need to be perfect:
- Why do I always thinking everything need to be perfect, you learn over time that the most from the times you mess up and don't get the outcome you were looking for. That is also where the fun comes in.  I love when trying to do something you just stop and look around or at the person next to you and start laughing at the situation or what you just did.  Those are the memories I keep.  Not the fact that I failed or it wasn't perfect or even close to what I was trying to do.

You are trying to impress someone or everyone:
- Why do I feel like I need to make everyone happy or impress them?  This is my life and I need to learn to love and live it to its fullest.  As my kids get older I look at them and how they live their lives, I don't want them to miss out on things as they feel it will cause hurt to someone elses feelings or anything like that.  Now that is not saying to internally hurt people but just ensure you are not trading your happiness for someone elses. Be you and others should be happy for you, being you doesn't cause others to be hurt.  If you are fake that is when others get hurt.

Fear of doing it:
- Why wait for the perfect moment, event or thing to say?  This was my biggest fear and halt to this idea I have of doing a blog. I thought I would be good and just write it but I started this in July and it is now mid-January.  I have not posted in many months.  I am the best procrastinator and one that does not complete projects if there is no deadline.  I love lists and time tables and am a great project manager...but when it comes time for creativity and fun projects that do not have a time table associated with them I stink at it....I put everything else first for everyone in my family and put my creative side to the end of the list.  My husband continually says I should do my art and doesn't understand why I don't do more of it....I have put that to the end of my to do list as I want everything else to be done before I do my art.  Same with every other creative project that I do....so from now on this will be no more....I am going to work hard at just doing it...just writing this blog as my tracker to see what I am able to do this year from my creative side.  This is my commitment to myself to just do it....so I will just write it as it comes or happens to me and my family.  Please enjoy and know this is just us having fun, making memories and learning along the way what life is all about...US.
