EFT For Procrastination
Author: Gloria Arenson, MFT
Publisher: Energy Psychology Press
ISBN: 978-1-60415-042-1
How often have you put off doing something that you KNEW you needed to get done? Procrastination. Everyone has experienced it at least a few times. It can make your life miserable, and cause stress not just for you but for the others around you. Maybe it's a problem once and again,or maybe it's a frequent problem. You know what needs to be done, and you know how to do it. You probably even have the time, tools or materials you need to complete it, so why isn't it getting done?
Gloria Arenson, MFT has written an extremely helpful book on dealing with a common difficulty. We put off doing a project because we want to avoid the feeling we have about it. There are a number of reasons for this. Shame, pain, bad memories or negative associations, or unpleasant experiences, possibly fear, anxiety or guilt. Many times, we really don't exactly know why we are putting things off at all.
How do we move beyond procrastination? By breaking free of whatever is holding us back and moving forward. Sounds eaiser said than done, right? With the correct method, it can be done, and it can be done painlessly. With this helpful handbook, Arenson shows us just the tools we need to break free.
EFT is the acronym used for Emotional Freedom Technique. Psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors and therapists have learned how to utilize EFT to help their clients. Gloria Arenson puts the same techniques into our hands, teaching us how to use it. It really is a simple and easy to do procedure, but it's not totally without a bit of thought and work.
The basic premise of EFT is that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption somewhere in the body's energy system. When our bodies, mind, emotions, etc., are working in harmony, we have positive energy; the problems and stresses that occur in everyday life is what causes a disruption in our energy flow. Without the positive energy flowing easily through the body, mind and spirit, our personal energies are clogged along the way. The premise of EFT is actually the center of all Eastern Medicine, psychology and spirituality. It actually makes common sense when most people think it through, and allows the avoidance of medication or other medical intervention. Success rates have proven that EFT is a valuable and valid therapy modality.
Gloria Arenson has provided the reader with the information and background needed to utilize EFT. Written in detail with concise instructions, encouragement and case histories, this handbook will help an unlimited number of people reach their true potential. I would consider this book to be an outstanding reasource for therapists and people in the helping professions, for parents wanting to help their kids overcome procrastination, and anyone having a problem in their life with procrastinating.

DISCOVER THE ROOT OF PROCRATION
EFT PROCRASTINATION
ENERGY PSYCHOLOGY PRESS
GLORIA ARENSON
As I procrastinated about reading this book in order to write this review (LOL!) I was convicted in several areas of my life. However, the more I read, the more the feelings of guilt and feelings of being overwhelmed subsided. This is a wonderfully written book by Gloria Arenson, a Marriage and Family Therapist, who is an expert in her field. Unlike most other books on procrastination it does not talk about using DayTimer?s and to-do lists. This book deals with the root of your issue and show you how to nip your emotions in the bud.
I will admit that I had to slow down and really READ this book. It is not a book that a reader, who is serious about change, can quickly thumb through. You must take your time and consider the message that it presents. This book will uproot all of your emotional baggage whose funk and debris has crept into your thought life and modified your behavior. Page after page pulled thoughts of past hurts, feelings of unworthiness, and anger about certain situations kicking and screaming onto the piece of paper that I kept close by. The great part about it: the author deals with those feelings with simple steps and explanations on why or where those feelings arose.
One of my favorite chapters is chapter 6: Thinking Doesn?t Make it So. Wow, that is a good point to remember as we travel this road called life. Many of us suffer and lose sleep over thoughts that may or may not be True ? with a capital ?T?. Cognitive distortions, what the author describes as twisted thinking, is the procrastinators culprit of many lost dreams and aspirations. When you travel along life?s journey, day after day, thinking negative thoughts about your situation, you fall into a state of depression. You feel the way you think. It seems almost too simple. So simple, many people have missed it.
I?m a perfectionist! I admit it and even though I am a perfectionist, I love and accept myself. The section on ?All or Nothing? was both reassuring and therapeutic. Perfectionists see things as either black or white. I have been, since I was a child, grounded on the mantra, ?Do it right, or don?t do it at all.? There is no middle ground, no ?just enough will do? or anything of the like. Feelings of anger and/or depression plague my mind when things do not turn out the way I would have wanted them too. This section reminded me that it is OK to not be perfect.
EFT for Procrastination was a very interesting book. There are loads of techniques, invitations for reflection and challenges to gently move you towards success in overcoming procrastination. If you are a procrastinator, like me, pick up this book and start on the road to recovery.

No longer putting things off...
Until I read this book I wasn?t aware that procrastination was a medical condition. I knew I put things off in my life, and knew I had to do something about it but I had no idea at all how involved this condition was.
I read the book twice began to apply the techniques with hesitation. I am always wary before I try something new, and not from an actual doctor.
I am happy to say that I no longer ?put things off? and my life has become much more manageable in the process. I have begun, and stuck to, a new health regime that involved sticking to my New Year?s resolution to end a 10-year smoking habit.
Once I finally got to the root of my procrastination problem it got easier to follow the book and finally end a life of ?oh it can wait?, and ?I?ll do it tomorrow?, and ?I?ll get around to it eventually? excuses that were holding me back.
EFT for Procrastination is effortless to use and results are easy to achieve.
I recommend this book and the others from EFT to anyone I see, or hear about with a problem. Comparing the monetary value of the book to the life value of its lesson is useless as it far exceeds expectations.
