Are you procrastinating?

[00:00:00]If you keep procrastinating, it might not be a discipline problem.

[00:00:05]It might be a safety problem.

[00:00:08]A lot of people were taught growing up that mistakes mean criticism or rejection or shame. So, your nervous system learned, if I delay, I can't fail yet.

[00:00:21]And that's why you can be smart and capable and determined and still avoid the thing you care about.

[00:00:28]So, no, you're not lazy. You're just protecting yourself from a feeling that you don't want to feel or relive.

[00:00:38]And so, that's the mindset shift.

[00:00:41]Procrastination is often fear management. So, afraid of being rejected, afraid of shame, afraid of failure.

[00:00:52]Not a time management problem.

[00:00:55]If that's you, stop asking, "What's wrong with me? Why am I lazy?"

[00:01:00]And ask yourself, "What am I trying not to feel?"

[00:01:05]Is it that shame? Is it that feel? Is it that fear feel? Is it that fear of failure?

[00:01:11]And that question changes everything.

[00:01:13]Cuz once you know what you're avoiding, you can address it. And how do we get rid of negative beliefs? Hypnotherapy.

[00:01:20]All right. Have a great week.
