You\u2019re not lazy; you\u2019re scared.\xa0

Psychologists have discovered that procrastination isn\u2019t a time management thing or a motivational problem; it\u2019s a coping mechanism.\xa0

Being in a state of worry, and fear, the land of the \u201cWhat Ifs\u201d will zap your life force\u2026leaving you feeling physically and mentally fatigued. You know, when EVERYTHING even simple tasks feels like a dreadful chore?

So as a subconscious way for our nervous systems to get a mood boost, a dopamine hit (the feel-good hormone), we procrastinate. I say \u201cwe,\u201d as I do it too\u2026the difference is I\u2019ve found a way to work with this natural tendency of mine (I\u2019m teaching it to you in today\u2019s podcast episode).\xa0

Tapping into our inner drug store is really no different than taking street drugs, getting drunk, or binging on sugar. As my long-time therapist, Janice (who passed away) taught me, \u201cWhat goes up, must come down for your nervous system to regulate.\u201d\xa0

Example\u2026.my private client Valarie hired me to help her grow her Energy Healing coaching business...clients and sales were only trickling in, and she couldn\u2019t figure out what in the heck she was doing wrong. After coaching more a 150 thousand people, I can identify the holes in someone\u2019s business and mindset typically within a 30-minute conversation.\xa0

While Valarie DID need a full overhaul of the way she packaged and marketed her offers\u2026the even bigger issue what her addiction to the \u201cProcrastination Loop\u201d as I call it.\xa0

She would get so frustrated and overwhelmed with not seeing any results in her business that in a subconscious effort to take the pressure off, she would stack a to-do of errands that \u201chad to be done today,\u201d and prioritize those non-income generating tasks. It gave her the feeling of being productive, without the guilt of taking a nap, but it was really a clever form of procrastination.\xa0

These errands felt easier mentally on her\u2026she\u2019s done them many times before, for many years. There was no emotional charge behind going to the market, and getting an oil change\u2026.so this felt easier, calming, and even dopamine-inducing to her nervous system. I KNOW, WILD RIGHT?

This episode will blow your mind.\xa0
