Who is a procrastinator?
A procrastinator is a person who has a type of changeable avoidance behavior which is characterized by delaying of tasks or actions to a later time. It is usually seen by psychologists. A person who avoids an unpleasant work or task at school, workplace, college, or home is also known as a procrastinator. Don't worry if you have these type of symptoms, as you are not alone in this world. Many people have these type of signs from time-to-time, but for some people, procrastination is chronic which causes an elevated level of anxiety and stress.
There is always some hope, as procrastination is a changeable behavior as I have suggested previously that can be easily changed. Right now is a good time to start controlling your life and complete the work that needs to be done.

Here is a list of some simple relaxation techniques used in controlling or overcoming procrastination and if you feel your stress level is elevated:
- 1. Diaphragmatic Breathing: Diaphragmatic breathing involves teaching people to expand-their diaphragm allowing some room for lungs to expand up when they inhale and then relax diaphragm when they exhale.

This process is a very useful and especially promotes muscle relaxation, elimination of tension, and calmness.

How to break the Procrastination habit?
Try this
It is dramatic but it works (not always...hehe). You all should try.
Take a look up to the sky and say: "Why me, my Lord?" (but you must feel the anger of being punished by divine forces)
After that, take a deep breath and say: "I accept my destiny". The breath and the phrase will bring consolation to your mind and then you will find strength to do the impossible like go to bed, go take a bath, go to study...
Usually I do this when I have to clean the house !!!!

Nice tips! I have been guilty of procrastination at times , but I didn't quite try strategies to overcome them per se ,just tried dealing with them head on when the fear of not getting them done got bigger than the fear of getting started. Will try to use your strateries the next time I feel like a procrastinator.
