The definition listed in the Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs is:

A stern chase is one in which the pursuing ship follows directly in the wake of the pursued.

To me it seems to say that if you go about things with a negative attitude then the act of which you are doing will seem prolonged. So, even if you do not want to do something try to think positively and time will go by at a normal pace instead of dragging on.
