Introduction

There is a strange truth, the truth that if you know it, nothing in your life will be the same again. Something that has always been right in front of your eyes but you have never seen it. Do you ever feel like something is holding you back? As if an invisible force is holding you back every time you want to start something? Why do some people succeed so easily but you still have doubts? Why can a simple idea be the start of an amazing path for some, but remain just a passing thought for you?

You have decided many times to change, many times you have tried to start a new job, but there has always been an invisible obstacle. This obstacle is not in the outside world, but inside your mind. Your mind is more powerful than you realize, but this power works against you because you are unaware of its hidden mechanism. This book is going to open your eyes to something you never thought about.

No one told you how your mind makes your decisions. No one told you why you lose motivation at the last minute. Why, when you want to start something, suddenly thousands of problems appear in your mind. Why have you repeatedly postponed things and made excuses that even you don’t believe. You think you know why, but that’s just the surface of the story.

The reality is that your mind is designed to distract you from challenges. Your mind seeks survival, not success. Your brain doesn’t want you to change, it doesn’t want you to take risks, because change equals risk. But you are a human being, not a programmed machine. And the good news is that you can recognize these hidden patterns and change them. But how?

This book isn’t just going to motivate you, it’s going to take you on a deep journey into your mind. On every page, you’ll discover secrets you’ve never read anywhere else. You will see how your mind designs complex games to keep you in the safe zone. You’ll understand why you haven’t started yet, and more importantly, how you can break the spell.

Now this book is in your hands. If you are ready to uncover this truth, if you are ready to take control of your mind and break out of this endless cycle of procrastination and fear, then now is the time. 

This book is not an ordinary book. This is a guide for those who no longer want to engage in this mind game. So if you’ve started reading, get ready for a real change. Because after this, nothing will be the same again…

Chapter 1: Why do we always procrastinate?

Maybe you have decided many times to start something, but you have put it off. Maybe you had an idea in mind that could change your life, but you put it aside. Maybe there was an opportunity in front of you that could have taken you beyond where you are now, but you ignored it. why Why do we always procrastinate? Why do we postpone important life decisions to the future, when we know that this future may never come?

You may believe that laziness is the main reason for procrastination. But the truth is that the problem is not laziness, but the way your mind is designed to survive. Your mind is not designed to grow, but to protect you from pain, hardship, and challenge. This is the secret that most people are unaware of. They think that if they really want to, they can start something, but when the moment comes, something inside them stops them.

But what is this “thing”?

How does the mind deal with feelings of restlessness?

When you think about doing something that is new, difficult, or unknown to you, your mind starts sending signals that indicate danger. It’s not real danger, but your brain can’t tell the difference between real danger and the feeling of fear. As a result, any change that requires you to step out of your comfort zone causes mental resistance. This resistance may appear in the form of excuses such as “now is not the right time”, “I need to prepare more”, “I’ll do it later” or “I don’t have enough energy right now”.

But if you look deeper, you will realize that it is just a mind game. Your mind seeks to escape from the feeling of restlessness. Uneasiness caused by entering the unknown. Anxiety caused by the possibility of failure. The restlessness of not knowing what will happen next. So your mind finds a solution: procrastinating.

Procrastination is actually a defense mechanism of the mind. This mechanism helps you escape the feeling of anxiety. If you postpone something to the future, at least in the moment, you feel more relaxed. But this peace is temporary, because you know within yourself that what needs to be done has not yet been done. And this feeling of guilt and anxiety is increasing day by day.

The brain seeks stability, not growth

One of the biggest truths that few people pay attention to is that your brain is not interested in growing. Contrary to popular belief, the brain is not designed for your success, progress, or happiness. It has only one goal: to maintain stability.

For the brain, any change, even if positive, means a departure from stability. And anything that threatens stability is considered a “danger”. This is why many people feel internal resistance even when they want to change. Even if they know that this change is beneficial for them.

Suppose you want to learn a new skill. Or you want to lose weight. Or you want to start a business. Your mind immediately begins to resist. why Because these things take you out of your safe zone. Your brain doesn’t know that these changes will ultimately benefit you. The only thing he sees is that you want to get out of a situation that is familiar and safe for him. So it reacts: it stops you from taking action by creating doubt, laziness, fear and anxiety.

This is why many people are great at “planning” but fail at “doing”. They know they have to do something, but they can’t do it. And this is due to the design of the mind.

Why does the subconscious mind not see the future?

One of the strangest features of the human mind is that the subconscious mind is not able to understand the future. The subconscious mind only knows the “now”. The only thing that matters is how you feel right now.

This is why when you procrastinate, your subconscious mind supports you. Because by doing this, you feel better in the moment. But what the subconscious mind cannot understand is how this decision will affect your future.

Suppose you have to prepare an important report for your workplace. But doing this is difficult and tiring for you. So your mind suggests “take a break for now and do it later”. At that moment, you feel comfortable, but your subconscious mind doesn’t realize that by doing this, you will have more stress, pressure and problems in the future.

The subconscious mind acts as if there is no future. All he cares about is how he can free you from the “current unpleasant feeling”.

And this is the secret you need to know. If you can train your mind to make decisions in the moment that are useful for your future, you will no longer be stuck with procrastinating. But this is not easy, because you have to act against the default program of your mind.

How to break this mental pattern?

Is there a way to stop this endless cycle of procrastination? Is it possible to force the mind to think about growth and development instead of focusing on feeling comfortable in the moment?

The answer to this question lies in certain methods that change your mind from a default program to a new one. Methods that trick the mind into committing to important tasks instead of running away from discomfort.

These methods are like keys that open the locks of your mind. The locks that have kept you in an invisible prison of procrastination, fear, and inability. But until you have these keys, your mind will continue to play the same old game: the procrastination game, the excuse game, the escape game.

But if you find these keys, nothing can stop you. No obstacle will have the power to keep you where you are now. And this is exactly what you will learn next…

Chapter 2: The Mind’s Hidden Mechanism That Stops You

You have wanted to start something many times, but it is as if an invisible force has stopped you from moving. Maybe you have thought about it for hours and days, maybe you have even taken the initial steps, but suddenly you stopped. It’s as if something inside you is preventing you from continuing. But what is this “thing”? Why don’t you take action even when you are interested in success? Why does your mind, which should be on the path of your growth and development, resist it?

To answer these questions, you need to take a look at the deep structure of your mind. You need to know how your mind works and why sometimes it appears as an obstacle instead of cooperating with you.

Your mind is designed to react to danger. This reaction sometimes appears in the form of fear, sometimes in the form of anxiety, and sometimes in the form of numbness and helplessness. When you think about doing something big, your mind quickly starts scanning all possible obstacles. It measures the workload, analyzes the difficulty of the route, and then, like a warning system, sends signals of danger. It’s not a real threat, but your mind doesn’t know the difference between a real threat and a psychological challenge.

You may decide to write a book, start a business, learn a new skill, or even do something you’ve been putting off for a long time. But as soon as you think about the whole route, a heavy feeling falls on your shoulders. Your mind suddenly puts a huge and unattainable picture of things in front of you and this picture paralyzes you.

Why does the idea of ​​a large amount of work paralyze you?

The human brain does not cope well with complexities. When you think of a task that involves several difficult steps, the brain interprets it as a threat. But not because there really is a threat, but because the task is mentally “too big”. The human brain is designed to seek stability and security instead of facing big challenges.

When you imagine a large amount of work in your mind, your brain goes into “escape” mode. In this case, you choose to procrastinate instead of taking action. Because not doing the work at the moment will reduce your anxiety. But this reduction in anxiety is temporary, because your mind is still aware that work remains unfinished. Thus, a vicious cycle is formed: you decide to do something, but when you imagine the scale, you feel anxious. You procrastinate to reduce anxiety, but after a while, guilt and more stress overwhelm you. And this cycle repeats itself over and over again.

The effect of covert anxiety in preventing the initiation of tasks

One of the factors that prevent you from starting work is hidden anxiety. This anxiety is not always obvious. Sometimes you don’t understand why you don’t want to do something. But the truth is that your brain, without you knowing, measures the psychological pressure and decides whether to act or not.

If your subconscious mind feels that doing something will expose you to stress or failure, it will invisibly steer you away from it. It may do this by making you feel tired, bored, or even tempted to do less important things.

Where does this anxiety come from? From past experiences, from unconscious fears, and from the fact that your mind always wants comfort. Your brain is designed to protect you from stress. But the problem is that this protection is sometimes to your detriment. Because it prevents you from growing and progressing.

How your mind tricks you into giving up

Your mind uses different methods to stop you. One of these methods is “logical justification”.

For example, you want to start something, but your mind immediately comes up with various excuses:

• “Now is not the right time.”
• “I don’t have enough information yet.”
• “Later, when the conditions are better, I will start.”
• “I don’t have enough energy right now, I’ll do it later.”

These justifications seem logical, but they are actually just a way your mind uses to maintain the status quo. Because change is a threat to the mind. Any change, even if it is positive, requires energy and the mind prefers to conserve this energy.

Your mind also uses the “substitution” technique. For example, instead of doing the main task, it tempts you to do minor and unimportant tasks. You may suddenly feel the need to check your messages, or watch a short video, or even start cleaning your desk. These tasks make you feel busy, but actually distract you from the main goal.

But what is the solution? How to break these mental mechanisms?

The key to solving this problem is “piecemeal”. If your mind is faced with a big challenge, it will reject it. But if you break the same challenge into small and simple parts, your mind will no longer see it as a threat.

Instead of thinking about the whole project, just think about the first step. Just do the first part without worrying about the next step. Not only does this reduce stress, but it also sends a message to your brain that the route is safe and manageable.

When you focus on doing just one small part, you’ll feel like you’re making progress. And that feeling convinces your mind that it’s easy to keep going.

As a result, your mind always seeks stability and avoids change. When you imagine a large amount of work, your mind feels threatened and stops you. Hidden anxiety prevents you from starting things and your mind derails you with logical justifications and trivial temptations.

But you can defeat these mechanisms. Just break things down into smaller parts and focus only on the first step. This will put your mind at ease and help you move forward without fear.

Chapter 3: Division, the key to getting rid of procrastination

When you procrastinate, it’s usually because your brain feels overwhelmed and scared by the overwhelming amount of work. To avoid stress, the brain convinces you that not doing something is a better option. But that’s just a mental trick, because the more you procrastinate, the more stressed you’ll feel. So what is the solution? The solution is, instead of focusing on the whole task, break it down into smaller parts and focus on just one small step.

When you break things down into smaller parts, the brain no longer sees it as a big threat. For example, imagine that you want to write a book. If you think about having to write hundreds of pages of text, your mind will panic and make you procrastinate. But if you just focus on writing one paragraph, you won’t feel the pressure anymore. Because a paragraph is not something that your mind is afraid of.

The same principle applies to any other work. If you want to lose weight, instead of thinking about losing 10 kg, just focus on eating a healthy meal. If you want to start learning a new language, instead of thinking about the whole learning process, just learn five new words today. This change in the way of thinking makes your mind no longer consider work as a hard challenge and show less resistance.

Our brain is always looking for simple and stress-free routes. When a task seems difficult and overwhelming, the brain tries to escape from it. But if you just focus on one simple step, the brain won’t know you’re doing the same hard thing. For example, imagine you want to tidy up your room. If you look at the whole room, you may feel that this is too difficult. But if you just decide to organize a drawer, the brain stops reacting. After tidying that drawer, you will feel a sense of progress and most likely, you will be motivated to tidy the next drawer as well. This is the trick we can use to defeat procrastination.

One of the main reasons people procrastinate is because they think about the whole process instead of focusing on the first step. They think about how hard it is to complete a project, how long it will take, and what obstacles might be in the way. But if you just focus on the first small step, this mental pressure will disappear and the task will become much easier.

To implement this method in your life, you can use practical techniques. One of these techniques is the “two minute rule”. This rule says that if something takes less than two minutes, do it right away. For example, if it only takes two minutes to respond to an email, do it right away. This method prevents small tasks from piling up and reduces your stress.

Another method is to “divide time into small blocks”. For example, if you find something difficult to do, just work on it for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, you’ll feel like you’ve made progress and you’ll be much more likely to keep going. Many people, when they focus on a task for just 10 minutes, end up working longer than that, because once they start, they realize that it’s not as difficult as they thought.

Another method is to “determine a very simple step”. If you want to start exercising, instead of saying, “I need to exercise for an hour every day,” just decide to walk for 5 minutes today. If you want to write an essay, just decide to write the first sentence. This will reduce your mental resistance and make it easier to take action.

The important thing is that when you divide tasks into smaller parts, you not only get rid of stress, but also create a greater sense of progress. Because every time you take a small step, your brain feels successful and this feeling of success increases your motivation.

Our minds are always looking to do things that will give us a sense of quick success. If you just focus on one small step and take it, you will feel good and that good feeling will lead you to the next step. But if you think about the whole path, you will only feel tired and disappointed.

So if you want to get rid of procrastination, the key is to always break things down into smaller parts and focus only on the first step. No matter how difficult and complicated a task may seem, it can always be divided into small and simple steps. And when you take just one small step, you will no longer feel fear and the path will be much smoother for you.

The conclusion is that procrastination is always caused by a defense mechanism of the mind that is afraid of the large amount of work. But you can bypass this mechanism by dividing tasks and trick your mind into acting without stress. Just focus on one small step and let it lead you to success.

Chapter 4: The technique of staying focused without worrying about the future

One of the reasons why people procrastinate or get stressed in the middle of the process is that their mind is constantly thinking about the next steps. When you start a task, if you think about the end of the road or possible challenges in the future, your mind gets anxious. This anxiety reduces your concentration and increases the desire to give up. In fact, the human mind is afraid of something that it does not know what will happen in it. This fear causes you to enter into a cycle of overthinking instead of doing the work and eventually, you either give up on the work or postpone it.

This mental mechanism is created because the brain is always looking for security and stability. When you think about an unknown future, the brain feels threatened and, as a result, activates fear and anxiety signals. But what is the solution? The solution is to focus only on the step you are taking instead of thinking about the next steps. When you keep your mind focused on one step and not paying attention to anything else, stress decreases and your focus increases.

One of the most powerful methods that can help you focus only on the current step is the “absolute focus” technique. In this technique, you decide to focus on one task for a certain period of time and not let anything else into your mind. For example, if you are writing an essay, just focus on the paragraph you are writing and don’t think about how many more pages you have to write. If you are reading a book, just focus on the page you are reading and don’t worry about the rest of the book.

This technique is effective because your mind can only focus on one thing at a time. If you channel this power of concentration and focus on just one thing, your mind will not have time to think about the future. As a result, anxiety is reduced and you can continue your work without worry.

But how can this technique be used in everyday life? One of the practical solutions is to set a certain time before starting any work. For example, you can set a timer for 25 minutes and during these 25 minutes, focus only on the same task. During this time, do not allow any other thoughts to enter your mind. If your mind begins to worry about the future, remind yourself that only this step is important and the rest will be taken care of later.

Another important way to maintain focus is to eliminate distractions. The human mind is very sensitive and easily distracted by external stimuli. When you are doing something, if your cell phone is constantly receiving messages, or if the TV is playing in the background, your mind will be switching between these stimuli and your main task. This will make your concentration decrease and it will be more difficult to get the job done. Therefore, in order to be able to perform the “absolute concentration” technique, it is necessary to clear your environment of any distractions. Put your phone on silent, turn off unnecessary notifications, and if necessary, work in a quiet space.

One of the common mistakes that people make is that they do several things at the same time. You may think that multitasking will increase your productivity, but in reality, it will only cause you to lose focus and do everything at a lower quality. When you multitask, your brain is constantly switching between these tasks, and this switching wastes mental energy and reduces your ability to focus deeply. So, if you want to really stay focused on a step, focus on just one task at a time and don’t move on to another until you’ve finished it.

Another powerful way to avoid worrying about the future is to remind yourself that you can always handle the next steps later. There is no need to know everything or be ready for all the next steps. The only thing that matters is that you do the best you can at this current stage. If you can manage this moment, all the moments that follow will be managed properly.

Finally, if you want to apply the technique of staying focused in your life, the most important principle is to always be aware that your mind has a tendency to think about the future, but you have to manage this tendency. Every time you find your mind wandering about the future, consciously bring your attention back to the present moment. Whenever you feel that worrying about the next steps is causing you stress, tell yourself, “The only thing that matters is what I’m doing.” This exercise, over time, will strengthen your focus and stop worrying about the future.

The conclusion is that our mind always tends to think about the future, but this thinking only increases stress and decreases concentration. If you want to do your work with higher quality and avoid procrastination, you must learn to stay focused on one step and not think about anything else. This will reduce anxiety, increase productivity and strengthen your concentration power.

Chapter 5: A sense of mental security in the midst of challenges

The human mind is designed in such a way that it always seeks security and stability. This feature has helped humans survive throughout history, but in the modern world, this mechanism often becomes an obstacle to progress. Unconsciously, a person avoids anything that is unpredictable or requires a lot of effort. For this reason, when a person faces a new challenge, instead of finding a solution, his mind looks for a way to escape from that challenge. This escape often appears in the form of procrastination, procrastination or even complete refusal to do things.

When you are faced with a new goal, your subconscious decides whether this path is safe or not, based on your past experiences and initial planning. If your subconscious feels that this path is full of uncontrollable challenges and difficulties, it will send you signals that lead to feelings of fear, anxiety and helplessness. As a result, instead of starting your work with high motivation, you will have doubts and may procrastinate. This process happens on an unconscious level, so that you don’t even notice it and you just feel like you don’t feel like doing the work or you don’t see enough motivation to start it.

But the main reason for this is the lack of security against challenges. Our mind acts more calmly and focused when it feels that it has full control over a situation. But when he encounters something new and unknown, he feels threatened and tries to dissuade you from entering this path. This mechanism, although useful in some situations, often prevents people from growing and progressing. Many people, for this reason, give up learning new skills, changing career paths, entering into new relationships or even following their dreams, because they subconsciously feel that these paths are unsafe.

But how can you change this mechanism and experience the feeling of mental security even in the midst of challenges? The main solution is to change the perspective of the challenges. Most people see challenges as obstacles to overcome. But the fact is that challenges are not only obstacles, but are the best tools for growth and progress. If you learn to see challenges as an opportunity to learn and develop your skills, your mind will prepare to take on them instead of dreading them.

One of the practical ways to change this perspective is to constantly put small challenges in your life. When you constantly expose yourself to slightly difficult and challenging situations, your mind gradually learns that challenges are not dangerous. For example, if you are afraid of public speaking, you can start with small exercises, such as talking to a friend or recording yourself. As you do these small exercises, your mind will gradually feel more secure, and as a result, your confidence will increase to face bigger challenges.

Another effective method is to remind yourself that no challenge is as scary as your mind makes it out to be. The human mind usually imagines problems to be bigger than they really are. But when you go into action and face them, you realize that most of these worries were unreal. So, every time you face a new challenge, tell yourself, “This challenge is not as difficult as I think. I just need to solve it step by step.”

One of the powerful exercises to increase the feeling of mental security against challenges is the exercise of tolerance against uncertainty. Uncertainty is one of the biggest reasons that stress the human mind. When you don’t know what the outcome of a task will be, you feel insecure and this feeling makes you avoid doing that task. But if you can learn to be comfortable with uncertainty and accept it as a natural part of life, your mind will be at ease.

A practical way to do this is to gradually expose yourself to unpredictable situations. For example, you can find yourself in new social situations, choose a new route to work, or even try foods you have never tried before. These small actions make your mind gradually learn that uncertainty is not dangerous and can cope with it. The more you expose yourself to unpredictable situations, the more you will feel mentally secure against challenges.

Finally, you should note that mental security is not something that can be achieved overnight. This is a skill that must be strengthened over time and through continuous practice. If you consciously try to change your perspective on challenges, expose yourself to challenging situations and practice uncertainty tolerance, you will gradually notice that you no longer run away from challenges, but face them with more strength and confidence.

So, if you find yourself getting anxious or procrastinating in the face of challenges, realize that the real problem is not the challenge itself, but your perspective on it. If you can change your perspective and create a sense of security in the midst of challenges, you will not only enjoy doing things, but you will move faster on the path of progress and success.

Chapter 6: Going through the difficult stage of starting

Starting a new job is one of the most difficult steps in achieving goals. Many people have great ideas in their minds, but they never take a step to implement them, because their minds resist starting a new task. This mental resistance is rooted in the unconscious structure that is designed to prevent any change and departure from the safe zone. The reason for this resistance is that the human mind naturally seeks stability and considers any change as a possible threat. So, when you plan to start a new project, incorporate exercise into your daily schedule, or even learn a new skill, your mind starts sending you inhibitory signals to stop you from getting started. This mental resistance often manifests as feelings of laziness, procrastination, or anxiety, but in reality, it’s just an unconscious defense mechanism aimed at maintaining your current status quo.

To get through this difficult stage, you must first understand that this mental resistance is a natural phenomenon and does not mean that you are incapable or unmotivated. Many people, when faced with these feelings, think that they are weak and therefore, instead of facing it, they give up. But the fact is that every person experiences this feeling of resistance when starting a new job. The difference between successful and unsuccessful people is that successful people have learned how to overcome this stage, while unsuccessful people let these feelings stop them.

One of the effective ways to overcome this mental resistance is to increase your awareness of it. Once you understand that this resistance is part of the mind’s natural process, you will no longer see it as a real obstacle. Instead, you can take it as a signal that you are entering a new phase of personal growth. Whenever you encounter this resistance, remind yourself that this is just a natural reaction of the mind and that these feelings will go away as soon as you take action.

One of the powerful techniques to pass this stage is the “5 seconds” technique. This technique was introduced by Mel Robbins and is simple to implement. The rule of this technique is that whenever you decide to do something, you must act within 5 seconds before your mind has a chance to make excuses. For example, if you want to wake up early in the morning, jump out of bed as soon as the alarm goes off without thinking. If you plan to exercise, as soon as the idea of ​​exercise comes to your mind, put on your sports clothes. This technique is effective because the human mind only needs a few seconds to find different reasons for procrastination. But if you take action before the mind has a chance to process the excuses, you can bypass this resistance.

Another effective way to get through the rough start is to break your goals down into smaller chunks. The human mind, when faced with a large and complex goal, naturally feels tired and anxious because it cannot process the entire path simultaneously. But if you can break each goal down into smaller, simpler steps, your mind will no longer feel like it’s facing a huge challenge, and as a result, it will show less resistance. For example, if you are planning to write a book, instead of thinking about writing the whole book, think about writing only one paragraph a day. If you are planning to learn a new language, instead of focusing on learning the whole language, focus on learning just a few words a day. This method will make it much easier for you to start and gradually, without realizing it, you will get closer to your main goal.

To be motivated to start anything, you need to make a deep emotional connection with your goal. Many people think only about the technical details when they want to start something, but this approach often reduces motivation. Instead, if you can think about why this is important to you and how it can change your life, your motivation will increase dramatically. For example, if you are planning to start exercising, instead of thinking only about the difficulties of exercising, think about how having a healthy body can improve your quality of life. If you are planning to learn a new skill, think about how this skill can change your future. When you have a strong and emotional reason to do something, your mental resistance is significantly reduced.

In addition, creating a suitable environment can also help you start your work more easily. The environment you are in has a huge impact on your motivation and focus. If your environment is full of distractions, your mind will easily be diverted to doing trivial tasks and as a result, it will be harder for you to get started. But if you can create an environment that encourages you to do the work, this process will be easier for you. For example, if you want to study, tidy your desk and remove all factors that may distract you from studying. If you plan to exercise, prepare your workout clothes the night before and make them available. These small changes can have a significant effect on reducing your mental resistance.

Finally, you should know that starting is always the hardest part, but once you get past this stage, it will be much easier for you to continue. Most people, when they start their business, find that doing it is not as hard as they thought. So, every time you encounter mental resistance, remind yourself that it’s only a temporary feeling and that it will go away as soon as you take action. If you can learn how to get past this stage, nothing can stop you from achieving your goals and you will become a person who turns any idea into action without hesitation.

Chapter 7: How to avoid giving up in the middle of the road?

Many people, when they start something, go ahead with high motivation and great enthusiasm. But after some time, when they face obstacles, difficulties and challenges along the way, their initial motivation decreases and they start procrastinating, until they finally abandon it completely. This issue can be seen in many areas of life. A person who decides to start exercising will train with high energy in the first weeks, but after a while, he will gradually reduce his training to the point where he does not do it anymore. A person who decides to learn a new language is full of motivation in the first days, but after a few months, he loses his initial interest and stops studying. Many entrepreneurs start their work with excitement at first, but after a while, when they face difficulties and obstacles along the way, they gradually lose their motivation and finally leave their project half-finished. This pattern is repeated in many aspects of life and this is one of the most important reasons why people do not reach their goals.

The main reason for this problem is that the human mind is designed in such a way that it always looks for the easiest and least troublesome path possible. When you start a new task, at first, your mind is excited about the end result. But after a while, when the difficulties of the path become visible, your mind realizes that in order to achieve that result, it has to leave its safe zone, and this is something that it subconsciously hates. Because of this, your mind starts sending different signals to convince you to stop. These signals may appear as laziness, boredom, loss of interest, or even feelings of helplessness. But the truth is that these feelings are just a defense mechanism of the mind that is trying to stop you from changing and growing. If you give in to these feelings in these moments, you will easily leave the path. But if you can understand that these feelings are part of the mind’s natural process, you can learn how to overcome them and continue on your way to the end.

One of the most important ways to help you avoid getting discouraged in the middle is to focus on the work process instead of the final results. Many people, when they start something, think only about the end result. They want to achieve success in the shortest possible time and when they realize that the path is longer and more difficult than they imagined, they get frustrated and lose their motivation. But if you can take your focus off the end result and instead focus on the work process, you will no longer experience this drop in motivation. Instead of constantly thinking about when you will reach your goal, focus on how you can take just one small step toward your goal each day.

Another effective technique for staying on track is to have solid and powerful reasons for doing so. Many people, when they start something, their motivation is only based on fleeting emotions. But when the excitement wears off, they no longer have a reason to continue. But if you can find deep, emotional reasons to do what you’re doing, you’ll keep going even when your motivation wanes. Ask yourself why this is important to you. What will change in your life if you follow this path to the end? How will you feel if you achieve your goal? If you can establish a strong emotional connection with your goal, the chances of you giving up midway will be greatly reduced.

Additionally, one powerful technique for staying on track is to make your commitment public. The human mind, unconsciously, attaches great importance to the opinion and judgment of others. When you decide to do something in your head alone, you are more likely to leave it unfinished because no one knows about your decision and therefore you feel no pressure to continue. But if you announce your commitment to friends, family, or even on social media, your mind subconsciously feels like it can’t just let go because then it has to explain to others why it left it unfinished. This social pressure can act as a strong driving force and make you keep going even in moments when your motivation is low.

Finally, you should know that staying on track is a skill that can be honed with practice and repetition. Many people think that they need to feel motivated all the time to stay on track. But the truth is that motivation is not something that is always there. Even the most successful people in the world feel bored and tired on some days, but the difference is that they have learned to keep going even on days when they are not highly motivated. If you can strengthen this skill in yourself, no obstacle can stop you and you will become a person who will continue to finish whatever he starts.

Chapter 8: Creating new habits for lasting success

Many people think that habits are something fixed and unchangeable, but the truth is that habits are the result of behavioral patterns that have been repeated over and over again, and the mind has registered them as low-energy pathways. The human mind is designed in such a way that it always seeks to conserve energy and prevent change. Because of this, when you want to create a new habit, you face strong mental resistance. This resistance is what causes many people to procrastinate and eventually return to their previous behavior patterns. But if you can understand that this resistance is only a mental program that can be changed, then you can gradually reprogram your mind and replace the previous patterns with new habits.

Procrastination is one of the most important reasons why people cannot keep positive habits in their lives. Procrastination is not a behavior, but a mental pattern formed in people’s subconscious. The human mind always avoids encountering new things, because any change requires energy, and the mind prefers to follow the already known paths, because these paths are less consuming. For this reason, whenever you plan to create a new habit, your mind starts generating various excuses to convince you to postpone it for another time. These excuses may appear in different forms, including: “now is not the right time”, “I will start tomorrow”, “the conditions must be more suitable first”, “I am not motivated enough now” and many other excuses, the purpose of all of which is only one thing: to keep you in the current situation and prevent change.

If you want to reprogram your mind and get rid of procrastination, you need to learn how to rewrite your mental patterns. One of the powerful ways to do this is to use the “start without thinking” technique. Many people, when they want to start a new habit, think too much about it, and this too much thinking causes the mind to convince them to postpone it. But if you can just start without thinking, your mind won’t have time to resist. For example, if you want to make exercise a daily habit, you don’t have to think about whether now is the right time or not, but just put on your workout clothes and start exercising. If you want to make reading a habit, just open the book and read a sentence without worrying about whether you are in the mood to read or not. This method causes your mind to gradually start accepting new behaviors and after a while, you will no longer need to fight procrastination because these behaviors will become your unconscious habits.

Another effective way to reprogram your mind is to define a new identity for yourself. Many people, when they want to make a change in their life, focus only on changing their behavior, but the problem is that if your identity is not aligned with that new behavior, your mind will subconsciously return you to the previous behavior. For example, if you want to make exercise a habit, but still in your mind, consider yourself a person who is not interested in exercise, your mind will unconsciously lead you to give up exercise. But if you change your identity and see yourself as a person who is an athlete, you will no longer need to force and pressure, because your mind will naturally follow the behaviors associated with this identity.

In order to create new patterns of behavior that lead to continued success, you must learn how to break away from “motivation addiction.” One of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to create new habits is thinking they always have to be motivated to do something. But the truth is that motivation is an unstable feeling and does not always remain at a high level. If you only do things when you’re motivated, you’ll drop new habits every time your motivation wanes. Instead of depending on motivation, you should learn how to use “systemization”. Systematization means that you put your new habits in your life in such a way that you no longer need to think about them. For example, if you want to make studying a habit, you should do it at a specific time and place, until it becomes a natural part of your daily routine.

Another effective way to create new behavioral patterns is to use “connected habits”. This technique is based on the principle that the human mind accepts a new behavior more easily when it is connected to an already established behavior. For example, if you want to make meditation a daily habit, you can attach it to an already established habit like brushing your teeth. Every time you brush your teeth, meditate immediately after. This will cause your mind to connect these two behaviors and as a result, meditation will become a part of your life unconsciously.

Finally, the most important thing to remember is that creating new habits requires patience and persistence. Many people, when they want to create a new habit, expect to see big changes in a short period of time. But the truth is that real changes happen gradually. If you expect to get results very quickly, you will most likely get frustrated and give up on your new habits halfway through. But if instead of focusing on the end result, you focus on the work process and take just one small step every day, after a while, you will find that these habits have become a natural part of your life. Habits are the foundation of success and if you can learn how to program your mind to adopt new habits, you can make your success a permanent and lasting process.

Chapter 9: Overcoming the Inner Voice That Says “Do It Later”

Almost everyone has encountered an inner voice in their life that keeps telling them “do it later”, “now is not the time”, “leave it for tomorrow”, “the conditions are not perfect yet”. This voice is the voice of inner resistance, which is one of the main reasons for postponing important tasks and goals in life. This voice, at first, may seem perfectly reasonable and convince you that you really have a good reason for procrastinating on your important tasks. But in reality, it is a mental pattern that your subconscious mind has created to maintain the current state. The mind is always looking for stability and comfort, because any change requires energy consumption and the mind prefers to stay in its safe zone. So, whenever you decide to do something that might change the course of your life, your mind activates this voice of resistance to stop you from taking action and keep you in the same state as before.

Recognizing this inner voice of resistance is the first step to overcoming it. Many people, without realizing it, have been captivated by this voice and have been postponing their goals and dreams for years. They have decided many times to make a change in their lives, but every time they intend to do something, this voice reactivates and convinces them that now is not the right time. These people may come up with various excuses to justify their procrastination, including “I need to learn more”, “I’m busy right now”, “I’ll start after the holidays”, “I need to be more motivated”. But the truth is that these excuses are nothing but mental justifications that the mind provides to prevent change.

One of the most important ways to overcome this voice is to change the mental conversation. Mental conversation is the sentences and thoughts that keep repeating in your mind and shape your behavior. If your mental chatter is full of thoughts like “now is not the time,” “I might fail,” “I’ll wait until things get better,” “I’m not good enough,” it will subconsciously hold you back from taking action and cause you to procrastinate on important tasks. But if you can change your mental dialogue and replace it with thoughts that lead you to take action, you can overcome this inner voice of resistance. One of the effective ways to change mental dialogue is to use positive affirmations. Affirmations are sentences that are repeated continuously and provide your subconscious mind with a new program. Sayings like “I act now”, “I have the power to change”, “I get things done”, “I believe in my abilities” can gradually change your mental program and turn you into a person who takes action instead of procrastinating.

One of the most important techniques for mastering negative thoughts and overcoming the inner voice that encourages you to procrastinate is using the “five seconds” technique. This technique is based on the principle that if you think about doing an important task for more than five seconds, your mind will start generating excuses and resistances and eventually convince you not to do that task. So, whenever you decide to do something, you should immediately count to five and act without thinking. For example, if you want to wake up and go exercise, just count to five and get out of bed immediately without letting your mind start making excuses. If you want to make an important call, just count to five and dial the number without thinking. This method will help you to silence the voice of inner resistance and take immediate action.

Another technique that can help you overcome this noise is the “two minute rule”. This rule says that if something takes less than two minutes, do it immediately. Many people postpone small tasks and these small tasks gradually accumulate and cause stress and anxiety in them. But if you learn to do things in less than two minutes right away, you’ll both free your mind from the pressure of backlogs and gradually build a habit that will turn you into a person who takes immediate action.

Also, creating “default systems” can help you overcome the voice of internal resistance. Default systems are the same predetermined patterns that make you do your work automatically without having to make decisions and think. For example, if you want to make reading a daily habit, you can create a default system to read for ten minutes every morning before checking your phone. Or if you want to exercise, you can prepare your workout clothes the night before and put them where you can see them right after you wake up. These default systems make you do your work automatically without having to think and make decisions, and you no longer have a chance to postpone them.

Finally, you should pay attention to the fact that the sound of internal resistance never completely disappears. This voice will always exist in the background of your mind and will try to stop you from taking action. But if you learn how to deal with this voice and not let it influence your decisions, you can take control of your life and become a person who takes action instead of procrastinating. Your mind accepts whatever you repeat over and over again as a new pattern. If you take action every time you hear the voice of inner resistance instead of giving in, gradually, this new pattern will become a habit and you will no longer need to fight this voice, because your mind will subconsciously guide you to take action. After this moment, decide to stop listening to this voice and start doing whatever you need to do, right now, without thinking.

Chapter 10: 30-day practical plan to break the habit of procrastination

To overcome the habit of procrastination and become a person who gets things done without wasting time, you need an action plan that will gradually rewrite your mind and behavior. Changing habits is a gradual process and you can’t expect to solve this problem forever just by reading a book or listening to a lecture. The unconscious mind tends to stay in its old ways and considers any change as a threat. But if you practice new behaviors consistently and continuously, these behaviors will gradually replace the old patterns and your mind will become one that acts quickly instead of procrastinating. For this, a practical 30-day program has been designed that will help you not only to break the habit of procrastination, but also to train your mind to automatically do things on time and without delay.

First to third day: awareness of the habit of procrastination and recognition of excuses. The first step in changing a habit is to recognize it. During these three days, your only task is to consciously pay attention to the excuses you give for procrastinating. Every time you decide to procrastinate, write down why. Do you think you don’t have enough time? Do you feel like you don’t have enough information to get started? Don’t feel like doing it? Recording these excuses will help you identify your mental patterns and realize that these procrastinations are nothing but a conditioned pattern in your mind.

Day 4 to 7: Use the five second countdown technique. One simple but very effective way to overcome procrastination is to count from five to one whenever you feel like procrastinating. This technique doesn’t give your brain a chance to activate excuses. Whenever you feel like doing something, just say “5…4…3…2…1…” and start without thinking. During these four days, practice this method for the smallest tasks, such as getting out of bed, replying to a message, writing an email, or starting a project.

8th to 12th day: Break things down into smaller parts. Many times, the reason for procrastination is that a task seems too big and difficult in our mind. But if you can divide each task into smaller parts, your mind can accept it more easily. On these days, break whatever you need to do into the smallest possible steps and focus only on the first step. If you have to write a report, instead of thinking about the whole report, write just one paragraph. If you want to exercise, just wear your workout clothes. This technique reduces your mental resistance and makes it easier for you to do things.

Day 13 to 17: The two minute rule. At this point, use the two-minute rule. This rule says that if something takes less than two minutes, do it immediately. This rule will help you train your mind to do small tasks quickly. Many people procrastinate on simple tasks such as tidying the bed, answering a message, or washing a glass, and these small tasks gradually accumulate and cause stress and anxiety in their minds. But if you learn to do everything under two minutes immediately, you won’t have time to procrastinate.

18th to 22nd day: strengthening motivation and creating support systems. At this point, you should think of ways to keep your motivation going. One of the best ways is to create a support system. You can agree with a friend or colleague that every day you will send him a report of what you have done. You can also create a progress log for yourself and record your progress in it every day. Seeing small improvements will motivate you and help you stay on track.

Twenty-third to twenty-seventh day: Changing mental dialogue. At this stage, you should pay special attention to the thoughts that flow in your mind. If your mental dialogue is full of sentences like “I can’t”, “now is not the time”, “leave it for later”, “I don’t feel like it”, your mind will unconsciously push you towards procrastination. On these days, every time a negative thought comes to your mind about doing something, immediately replace it with a positive statement. Instead of “I don’t feel like it right now,” say “I’m taking action right now.” Instead of “leave it for tomorrow,” say “I’ll feel better if I do it now.” These small changes in your mental conversation will have a profound effect on your behavior.

Day 28 to 30: Establishing a new habit. In this final stage, you must use all the methods you have practiced during this program at the same time so that this habit is established in your mind. You’ve learned how to take immediate action with a five-second countdown, how to break things down into smaller parts, how to use the two-minute rule to do small tasks, how to stay motivated, and how to change your mental chatter. Now, you need to think about how you can keep these patterns in your daily life forever. One of the best ways is to determine your work plan for tomorrow every night and decide in advance what you need to do. Every morning, prepare your mind for quick action by reading this program.

If you complete this 30-day program, you will notice that you will no longer procrastinate like you used to. You will learn how to take immediate action without thinking and without engaging in mental excuses. This change will not only increase your productivity, but will also create a deep sense of satisfaction in you. Start this program right now and don’t let your inner nagging voice stop you from taking action. You are more powerful than this voice, and if you change today, your future will change too.
