#37: Feeling Stuck? How To Stop Procrastinating And Start Taking Action
Feeling stuck -- or struggling to take action?
If procrastination is sabotaging your success, you’re not alone. And that’s exactly what we’re addressing on today’s episode.
You could be delaying an important project, putting off a career move -- or avoiding something which deep down, you really WANT to do.
But dreams often get put on hold because you’re scared of failing.
Procrastination is a challenge my coaching clients continuously contend with. They’re ambitious high-performers, yet still find themselves stuck in analysis paralysis. They know EXACTLY what they need to do -- but lack the motivation to start.
And I get it. Even with ‘focus’ and ‘activator’ as two of my top strengths, I still have moments where I get distracted, experience resistance or struggle to take action.
However, there are some simple ways to work through it.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing 4 practical strategies I use to overcome procrastination and move into action.
You'll learn:
- The REAL reason you procrastinate and first step to overcome it, so you move forward with clarity and confidence
- How to reduce overwhelm and stay in action (without the 30 item to-do list)
- A simple practice to help you make progress -- even when motivation levels are low
- The ONE question to ask each day to move through procrastination and take steady steps toward your goals
So hit play NOW -- and let’s dive in!
