It’s Deeper than Procrastination EP504

What is the root of your procrastination?

Procrastination isn’t just about time management or motivation, it’s also about coping with worry and fear. As a result, procrastination can provide a dopamine hit, which leads to fatigue both physically and mentally. Many people, including myself, are prone to procrastination, so today I’m sharing some ideas for overcoming it.

You’re not lazy; you’re scared.

Psychologists have discovered that procrastination isn’t a time management thing or a motivational problem; it’s a coping mechanism.

Being in a state of worry, and fear, the land of the “What Ifs” will zap your life force…leaving 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 “we,” as I do it too…the difference is I’ve found a way to work with this natural tendency of mine (I’m teaching it to you in today’s podcast episode).

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, “What goes up, must come down for your nervous system to regulate.”

Example….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’t figure out what in the heck she was doing wrong. After coaching more a 150 thousand people, I can identify the holes in someone’s business and mindset typically within a 30-minute conversation.

While Valarie DID need a full overhaul of the way she packaged and marketed her offers…the even bigger issue what her addiction to the “Procrastination Loop” as I call it.

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 “had to be done today,” 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.

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

This episode will blow your mind.

But what if the problem isn’t that you’re lacking power at all?
What if you’ve simply been directing it in too many different places?

Ep 802 Walk Into the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life Part 4: TRAIN

Welcome to Part 4 of the Walk Into the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life Guided Walking Meditation series. Many people believe transformation happens because of a breakthrough moment, a powerful realization, or a single courageous decision. While those moments matter, lasting transformation is built through something much deeper: trust.

In this guided walking meditation journey, you’ll explore the relationship between self-trust, identity, and personal transformation. You’ll discover why so many people struggle to create lasting change, not because they lack desire or potential, but because they’ve lost confidence in their own ability to follow through on what they know they need to do.

Using the Fire Horse and jockey framework, this walk will help you strengthen your relationship with yourself, rebuild confidence in your decision-making, and understand why consistency creates far more transformation than intensity ever will.

Ep 801 Walk Into the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life Part 3: RELEASE

Welcome to Part 3 of the Walk Into the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life Guided Walking Meditation series. One of the biggest misconceptions about transformation is that your next level requires you to do more.

More learning.
More effort.
More proving.
More pushing.

But sometimes the greatest breakthrough comes from removing what’s no longer meant to come with you.

In this guided walking meditation experience, you’ll explore the emotional weight, outdated stories, fears, identities, and expectations that may be quietly slowing your progress. Because even the most powerful Fire Horse struggles when it’s carrying burdens it was never meant to carry.

This walk is designed to help you identify what’s expired, release what no longer fits, and create space for the version of you that’s trying to emerge.
