"How to address the “SWC Syndrome”

Have you ever heard of the “should have, would have, could have syndrome”? Well, I never heard about it either until I was inspired with the message. Let’s just call the SWC Syndrome for short.

This video speaks about the SWC Syndrome and how to address the actions on which you have either procrastinated or for whatever reason you decided to put off starting or completing. The thoughts of “no action” begin to burden you and consume your being to the extent you sometimes have a hard time reengaging.

If you ever fall prey to this syndrome, don’t spend a lot of time in self pity, and get depressed and overwhelmed with stress. Try to consider the following steps.

1. Inventory your list: these are the items or actions that believe you should have done or taken care of; wished you would have done or taken care of; knowledge of what you could have added, changed, provided yet didn’t.

2. Identify Opportunity: Sometimes it is too late to go back and take the action. However, on occasion you find that there is still an opportunity to take action. Perhaps there is an event going on that requires your expertise and you don’t speak up when you or the group you are in is being solicited for help. Then later you wish you would have spoke up and shared your skills and made yourself available. Now let’s you identify this on your list and find out that the opportunity is still open. What do you do? Go to #3.

3. Take immediate action: Pick up the phone and call; email, text or drive over; However you decide to do it, take immediate action and Go Make it Happen Today!
