b'This time, we\\u2019re taking a nice, long look at avoidance behavior and tools for overcoming procrastination. Rather put off listening to this episode until later? We get it!\\nSo, what is procrastination? James Clear defines it as \\u201cthe act of delaying or postponing a task or set of tasks\\u201d and calls it \\u201cthe force that prevents you from following through on what you set out to do.\\u201d No matter our personal flavor, we all relate to this phenomenon.\\nAnd, come on, avoidant coping makes sense. If there\\u2019s something uncomfortable to do, our brains think we can avoid the discomfort by just avoiding the thing. The problem? Our mounting anxiety, plus the lingering sense that we\\u2019re not safe and can\\u2019t trust ourselves. And then there are the mental gymnastics involved in avoidance and the fatigue that goes along with them.\\nSo, why do we procrastinate? In episode 27, we\\u2019ll open up about our histories of avoidant coping. Yes, this includes how we procrastinate around work, financial responsibility, and, our personal fave, that deep soul work.

Just for today, we can work at overcoming procrastination with the help of spiritual principles.\\nWe\\u2019ll share how transparency and accountability can help us get into action. Plus, we\\u2019ll look at action inertia and how building positive habits can support us in our daily lives.
