Do you know someone who wants to get more organized? If so,
feel free to forward this link - you may be helping more than
you realize.
Since tax season is just around the corner we have
dedicated this issue to you and your taxes - giving you tips,
links, and information that you can use to start your taxes,
file them on time, and create systems to make tax filing
easier for years to come.
Sometimes it's the 'getting started' that's the hard part -
not just with taxes, although that is a great example, but
with getting organized overall. The dictionary definition of
procrastination is to delay until an opportunity is lost. But,
why do we procrastinate?
You may not realize this but procrastination can be caused
by sleep deprivation. Just think about trying to complete the
smallest task when you're tired - it seems huge, overwhelming,
almost unachievable. In 1910, the average person slept 9 hours
per night. By 1975 this had decreased to 7.5 hours and by 2000
it had decreased further to 6.9 hours. (Source: Sleep is Key
to Health by Dr. Joseph Levy, Condominium Life, Winter

Recently, I was in conversation with the hypnotherapist who
assisted me in having a natural birth with my second child.
She offers hypnotherapy for many types of needs and we have
often discussed the different types of disorganization that
people experience and the ways in which we can help them
overcome their challenges. Shawn says, "I am not a
psychiatrist and cannot provide care to anyone with a serious
illness, but certainly hypnosis can be helpful for anyone that
has blocks to letting go of stuff." Any of the thought field
therapies (i.e. EFT) can work wonders with this as well.
Shawn shared the beginning of a case study with me: "I have
a client who came to me for motivation regarding
procrastination. While talking to him, there were some clues
that suggested that he might have a sleep problem (waking when
tired, snoring, etc). I asked him to get it checked out - sure
enough he stopped breathing dozens of times in the night and
has serious sleep apnea. I think when his energy returns due
to improved sleep, his procrastination will be easier to
resolve."
