Struggling to Get Started? Here’s How to Finally Take Action! 🎧✨

Do you ever sit down to work, stare at your to-do list, and feel completely stuck? You know what you need to do, but actually starting feels impossible? You’re not alone—I hear this from my clients all the time.

Task paralysis isn’t just procrastination—it’s a real challenge that can leave you feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and anxious. But here’s the good news: task initiation is a skill you can develop! And in today’s episode, I’m breaking down exactly how to do it.

🔥 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why starting a task feels harder than actually doing it
✅ How anxiety and perfectionism create a cycle of avoidance
✅ The "5-Minute Goal" method to break through resistance
✅ How to use cognitive pairing to make tasks feel easier
✅ The "Soften the Blow" technique to transition into tough tasks
✅ How coaching can help when nothing else seems to work

🎯 This Episode Is for You If:

✔️ You (or your teen) keep putting off tasks, even when you want to get them done
✔️ You struggle with disorganization, deadline extensions, or incomplete work
✔️ You’re overwhelmed by big projects and don’t know where to start
✔️ You want to improve focus, motivation, and productivity
