    • The Procrastination–Ego analogy…

      Posted at 10:09 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on February 4, 2014

      ….mirror images….the “devil” on my left shoulder, poking me with it’s pitchfork while my “angel” speaks kindly to me on my right.  

      Why do I listen to the pokey-pitchfork-devil-annoying thing more often these days than not?

      The answer is:  because I am living from my ego.  Plain and simple.

      When my psyche is telling me I am to complete a task, even as mundane as bringing out the trash, and instead I sit down and turn on the television, I am living from ego.  

      Now, I am not always conscious of this.  Why am I not conscious?  Because ego is running the show.  

      How do I become conscious?  Through awareness of my resistance toward whatever it is I am choosing not to do.  Any task or undertaking that enters my consciousness is there because it is supposed to be there.  When dismissed by ego, I have become temporarily stuck to it, unable to move into the next moment with ease.

      Now, for that garbage….
