A client came to me, and she said she had a problem with procrastination.

A client came to me, and she said she had a problem with procrastination.

She felt that procrastination was the reason she was not hitting her income goal.

She thought that once she learned how to stop procrastinating, she would build her business to what she believed was possible for her.

She had a vision of her life without procrastination and spent more time in income-producing activities.

When we explored her current pattern, she did not have a procrastination problem; she had a having her back issue.

Procrastination is technically the act of delaying or postponing something.

So, on the outside, it looked like procrastination; the real problem was why?

She was being indecisive because she was afraid of the consequences of the decisions she needed to make.

In her world, she was damned if she did the action and got the results, she wanted and damned if she did it and failed.

If she did the action and got the results, she would tell herself, “You should have done it sooner,” “you always overthink,” “you always underestimate yourself,” and the list of thoughts of how she should have gone sooner.

Missing that sooner, she may not have had the information of what to do OR that she was scared of failing and what she would do to herself.

If she failed, she would tell herself, “See, you are not good enough,” “see, I told you, you are not worthy,” “See, here is more proof and evidence on why you should not have had that dream.”

AND the beating up goes on.

She will get a beating regardless of the results.

So, her brain avoided making decisions because doing the work AND getting beaten up is less appealing than not taking action AND still getting beaten up.

After my client saw this pattern, she decided to start having her back more.

She decided that as long as she took action, she was doing the best with the information and level of awareness she had.

She is now taking more actions, and she has built a more trusting relationship with herself.

The crazy part is the more actions she takes, the more wins she creates.

If you have a “procrastination” problem, maybe you have a relationship with yourself room to grow.

I can help you make more money in less time and energy by identifying why you are not taking the actions you know you need to or want to take.
