The problem with procrastination is right there in the word. PROcrastinator. I'm a PRO... It's the one thing in life I do well.

Does reckoning you are surrounded by idiots count as no.3 even if you are?

Gads... how awful it must be for all of you... Thank goodness, aside from being too humble, I am pretty much perfect.

that should cover it.

6 is me too, but I am trying to adopt a philosophy of, "don't put off 'til tomorrow what you can get out of doing altogether."

Criticizing others would be hard for me to give up. ????

Number four and number six would be my choice to give up, they are the hardest.

3, 6, and 8, but I’m not giving up any of them.

#8 for me please..

4 big time

3 for me...I need a better filter sometimes.

Be Impeccable with your Word: Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the Word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your Word in the direction of truth and love.

I am horrible at criticizing others, don't get me started in heavy traffic. I have lots of negative self talk, and fear of failure and procrastination. I am so good at procrastination.

I have trouble with most of those. I just hope I can manage to accomplish some significant change in these areas. It's much easier said than done. But the first three are especially harmful and toxic to a person's well-being.

6 almost like Homer Simpson "Never do today what you can put off untl tomorrow". My stepdad recognized this in me at an early age and gave me one of these:

2 is the one I should start with but the rest need to go as well.

Holding grudges...
I think I've learned enough to know that a tiger doesn't change its stripes.

It’s funny... because I’m guilty of #2, I don’t have #5... I definitely need to improve on 6 and sometimes 7.

I agree with you about number 6. It pretty much needs to be dealt with before most of the others.

6

Would have to be number 6. The rest, not so much.

Focusing on 1 and 2 I've noticed a few people whose mothers told them they were the best thing there ever was from an early age and they've gone through life believing it, that they deserved the best in everything and have been amazingly successful at many things, though overconfident disasters at others.

They convince others how wonderful they are and get good jobs and live a charmed life.

At this very moment I'm stuck in every fucking one...

1,2,3,5 and 8. F. M. L.

I was thinking 1 Self rejection and 2 Negative self-talk are similar and must originate from being told at an impressionable age that we are no good.

3 Criticising others is a sort of leveling the field by saying others aren't much good either, a face-saver that gets us in even more trouble

4. could be construed as trying to get praise off others to make up for the lack of it from the people who used to matter in our lives, oh, I do that one too.

5. Fear of failure is something I'm really sensitive to because it just verifies what I've always believed, so cognitive fluency assists this emotion as much as it does all the others

6. Procrastination is due to Fear of failure

7. We wouldn't live in such a negative environment if others hadn't made it for us, so it is likely to follow from all the above though not necessarily.

8. I've been criticised constantly so perfectionism is the result.
