END Procrastination for Good

I can bet you don’t know this technique for beating procrastination because this isn’t about having “more discipline” or becoming “more focused” or even battling the never ending distractions ..

This is something I use with my clients in session that pay thousands to work with me.

So I am super excited to share this with you today and here is what you need to know:

Simply put, procrastination is the brain’s way of gifting you SELF SABOTAGE.  

You may be thinking …

• That you are lazy

• That you “lack drive”

• That it’s too hard

• That it will take too long

All those “excuses” that you justify to yourself that keep you ultimately stuck.

The truth is that you are just scared

And these thoughts serve a purpose

“TO PROTECT YOU”

To keep you from the big scary monster in the closet

• Rejection

• Failure

• Ultimately Pain

This is why you stop before you start.

Procrastination is you (subconsciously) practicing avoidance 

So here is how you stop avoiding and start winning for good:

STEP 1: Understanding what happens if you DON’T DO IT

The answer is usually nothing

I repeat NOTHING

The feeling of being “STUCK” is extremely frustrating because you know you are capable of so much more and you know what is available if you just got “UNSTUCK”.

You must take ownership to understand why you are choosing to be here. (Yes, it is a choice).

Step 2: Understand your mindset blocks

Identify your limiting beliefs.

AKA what stories are you are telling yourself that literally cause you to choose to be unproductive.

• It’s too hard

• You aren’t capable

• Others are doing it better

• You are stupid and lazy

These are learned beliefs from childhood, that need to be reprogrammed.

If a part of you believe these things, you will continue to hold yourself back to CONFIRM this identity. Our brains love confirmation bias.

Remember, you brain is ULTRA smart. It’s unlikely you will outsmart it.

So this keeps you in cycles of being disempowered aka continuing to procrastinate, keeping you from your epic goals.

To be able to make a new empowered choice, you have to actively become aware of the old subconscious (disempowered) choice you are making.

Step 3: Neutralize the consequences

As mentioned, procrastination is simply avoidance.

Now get clear on the (negative) outcomes are you avoiding

List them all out.

Common ones are:

• Fear of failure

• Avoiding conflict, communications, people being “mad at you”

• Fear of being judged, that your ideas are stupid, that people will “talk about you”

• Fear you are not capable or good enough

• Fear of being left, being alone

Reminder: we avoid (procrastinate) because we believe pain and consequence is waiting for us. But the BIG question you need to ask yourself is how do you know this is going to happen? 

THE TRUTH IS YOU DON’T

Stop trying to predict the future.

Additionally, what is the worst that is going to happen? Will you survive? Are you going to be okay?

Or is it a zombie apocalypse at your door?

The point is that your mind will catastrophize and hijack your amygdala so you are sent into a death spiral that often leads to paralysis.

You are again stopping yourself, over something that has not yet happened and is NOT ACTIVELY REAL.

So is this actually a problem?

There is no problem. Not unless you make it one. Your choice.

Step 4: Map out the potential benefits

Now that you realize the monster in the closet isn’t so scary.

You can begin to reframe your situation ..

KEY QUESTION: WHAT IF IT DOES WORK?

Map out all the potential benefits that could happen

This is the playing field we have to work in

Focus on the potential outcome of the new reality you want to create because this is the only way it’s going to happen

Regardless of it is works out or not, you can only find out if you try.

And remember, we only move forward if we believe that our future holds pleasure, success and benefit.

You must train your mind to take action like this consistently.

This is what defines unreasonable success.

In Summary:

Remember: you aren’t lazy

Procrastination is just maladaptive mindset loops.

Your subconscious mind is just protecting you from failing

Making up lies. Literally these problems don’t actually exist!

But you have to choose empowerment over victimhood. Potentiality vs Limitations.

To get to unbelievable levels of success, you must unlearn your old patterns of rejection and failure and rewire your mind for empowerment, so you can win.
