Acting promptly and mindfully in our activities is crucial for maintaining a high level of self-efficacy and self-respect. Procrastination and delaying decisions can significantly lower our confidence and self-esteem. Recognizing areas where we are evading discomforting facts and taking immediate action can prevent a decline in self-esteem. The delay between knowing what should be done and actually doing it can steadily erode self-esteem and confidence. Taking action promptly, without overthinking or justifying, can break the cycle of low self-esteem and build confidence. By addressing tasks that have been delayed, confidence can increase, leading to a positive spiral of action and heightened self-esteem.
