Are You Hesitating or Procrastinating?
Hesitation is often labeled procrastination. They are not the same and come with with very different results in my experience. Hesitation is what I consider to be wobbling. Its the wobble that keeps our desires from manifesting.
hes·i·tate/ˈhezəˌtāt/verb
- pause before saying or doing something, especially through uncertainty.”she hesitated, unsure of what to say”
pro·cras·ti·nate/prəˈkrastəˌnāt/verb
- delay or postpone action; put off doing something.”it won’t be this price for long, so don’t procrastinate”
Obviously they are different things. Hesitation is a feeling of uncertainty or insecurity. It doesn’t feel good. It’s a bonafide wobble that clearly shows your resistance.
Procrastination on the other hand only doesn’t feel good because of what other people say (including that little voice in your head as the other people). It actually feels kinda good not to do something that you are procrastinating around, right?
This distinction has been show to me in other vivid ways lately. It isn’t only what we think its how we live. Here’s a wobble I witnessed the other day: I’m in the mall ordering a Cinnabon AND a diet coke. That seems a littl contradictory to me. Not pointing fingers, I mean I was ordering a Cinnabon too, just without the diet coke lol. Next is the health food “natural food” store. There is someone stressing over the degree of natural in the food she is choosing yet her face is absolutely painted on to perfection. I noticed this because I was admiring the makeup job, like pro style here. It was only later in my meditation that I saw the contradiction or wobble as Abraham Hicks calls it.
It was a great mirror to my own resistance in ways I hadn’t been able to see otherwise. I’m letting my hair go natural, embracing the grey and all, yet I pay big money for false fingernails?
These are little things it seems right? Except they are not. The Universe keeps getting mixed messages from you and answers in kind. One day everything is moving along fabulously and the next is a train wreck. Now you know why. You are hesitating or wobbling about it.
So whats the solution? How do you stop wobbling? Stay tuned for the next post to hear about the process I use.
