The Benefits of Procrastination



Remember what Patrick Swazye's surfer guru character, Bodhi said to Keanu Reeves in the 1991 movie classic, Point Break? 

 "Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true."

That can be true especially in situations that are critical,m when you don't have the luxury of time on your side.... Like a physical self defense situation or a verbal debate. 

The Power....

But, one thing that hesitation and procrastination does give you is...

Power!

Yes, one of the powers of procrastination is that if you're paying attention, it will tell you that you are either just being lazy... or there is something inside of that waiting, that you are afraid of. 

That's alright, but you may want to lean in and explore that a bit to find out what that is. 

If you can get to the bottom of that, it will give you the opportunity for growth...
And that my friend, will bring you into a greater place of power! 

 
Don't Play Small...

Speaking of hesitation and procrastination...

This virus situation has got me digging, thinking, plotting... 

All of the emotions and drama that have surrounded this situation, along w/some of the solitary confinement, will bear fruit!

I have not let this time go to waste!

One thing I'm getting out of all of this is that I realize I have been procrastinating on some things...

That hesitation has caused me to think. 

My perspective is changing...

There are a couple things regarding PeaceWalker that  I have been wanting to do... But I just needed to 'grow a pair', so to speak and...

Quit Living Small! 

And you should too! 

  
What Are You Hesitating On?'

If you stick around, in the not so distant future, I'll let the cat out of the bag as to what big, world changing things I'm planning with PeaceWalker... Things that you're a part of and will benefit from...

But in the mean time...

Now's a good time to take a good look at yourself and see what's holding you back!? What are you hesitating on? What is that procrastination telling you!?

Really dive into that and when you come out the other end, you'll be better because of it! 


Keep going,
~Craig

An Uncomfortable Situation

Image
  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people ...

What'd You Say?!

  You ever have a conversation with someone who really lifted your spirits? How about having a conversation with someone who’s a real downer?! We spend a lot of time talking to people. Matter of fact, talking is one of the most under rated and under trained aspects of protecting yourself. It’s much better if you can talk your way out of a bad situation, rather than having to resort to some form of physicality. This is why we spend so much time on sharing effective communication frameworks in the PeaceWalker course. But All of that Aside… When we think about communicating, we often just think about talking to other people. We forget how we talk to ourselves! You may have heard it called, “Self talk.” All day long we talk to ourselves. We carry on an inner dialogue in our heads that only we can hear. Unfortunately, this means it's very easy to be hard on ourselves. There's something about privacy which makes it easy to say the things you would never say out loud to another living...

Cracks in Your Foundation?!

Image
  Last night we had one of our weekly coaching calls for the PeaceWalker Evolution Course. What a great call! Rob and Jenn, a couple of the Level II - Momentum folks (people who graduated from Evolution last year and came back for the second Level.), were tasked to run the meeting as part of their training. I must say, they did a stand up job! The topic of discussion was building an Unshakable Foundation. WTH is that!? It’s basically the way you live. Your habits. What you do in your day to day life. How do you train your… Body  - Your physical health Mind  - What you’re filling your head with Mouth  - How you’re communicating Heart  - How you foster your relationships Why?! Without a solid foundation it’s difficult to remain balanced. When you are not balanced, it more difficult to stay calm, cool, and collected, (especially) under pressure. As I often say,  “You can’t hide crazy.” (It eventually comes out!) Regardless… You don’t have to be in the PeaceWal...
