Why do we have excuses? When you really think about it, the excuse is usually there before we even start working, there is no real reason we shouldn’t do it, we just don’t want to. Excuses are the topic of conversation this week on Thriving Women Artists. Join Ping, Sarah, and Dorien as they discuss why they make excuses and how you can get rid of them to focus on your work.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- One of the biggest reasons for making excuses is anxiety. We don’t want to start something because if we start it then there’s a chance we might fail.
- Envisioning what she wants to get done beforehand helps Ping overcome making excuses for not working.
- When you know your excuses are just trying to stop you working because you might fail or be overwhelmed, you should challenge those thoughts, remember that even if it’s not perfect, it’s part of the process and you have learned something.
- Procrastination is just one form of making excuses.
- Making excuses for too long can make you angry and frustrated and that just ends up being counterproductive.
- It’s good to speak out loud about your goals. Having other people who know what you need to be doing makes you accountable.
