Why do we procrastinate? You know, that feeling of putting things off? What is that about? Is it laziness? Fear? Or is it just a weird flaw in our personality? In this episode, we'll explore what procrastination means from a spiritual, psychological, and energetic standpoint, and how this affects your mind, money, and manifesting abilities. So if you've got a to-do list longer than a CVS receipt and you keep putting off what matters most, this episode is your divine reminder to lean in and listen. Bless up and welcome to The Answer, a show that answers your questions from a spiritual, monetary, and manifesting angle. I'm your host, Anne-Marie Pizarro, Akashic Records Guide and Suc Advocate for Spiritual Enpreneurs and Creative Visionaries. Together, we'll explore the answers your soul has been waiting to ask. Let's be honest, we all procrastinate. And if we look back, I'm sure we'll find a history that shows us that email that wasn't answered, or the bill that was paid late, or the offer that wasn't launched, or the friend that hasn't been called back. Why do we do this? Now it's not because we're lazy or it's because we don't care, and it's definitely not because we're a hot mess with no sense of discipline. There are multiple perspectives that we have to address to fully understand this mental trickster. From the psychological perspective, procrastination is about protection. It's often tied to the fear of unknown, overwhelm, or perfectionism. So the mind freezes when it doesn't know or understand the potential outcome. And this could be tied to anything and any trigger. In other words, procrastination isn't just you being lazy. It's actually your nervous system trying to keep you safe by hitting the brakes, even when you're pointed in the right direction. Now, from a spiritual perspective, procrastination is often a signal that you're right on the edge of a soul upgrade, but part of you is scared to cross that threshold. You're standing at the doorway of your next level, but you haven't stepped through it yet because you're either afraid or you don't know what will happen, or there's just these old patterns that exist of being judged, criticized, or hurt that are playing a theme in your life. Now, the Akashic records show that procrastination is actually a sole moment of pause. It's a moment when you're being asked to choose, and you can either upgrade your identity or stay in that version of you who avoids becoming that version who leads. So let's go back to our initial question. Why do we procrastinate? The answer is simple. We're simply not ready to step into the next level of ourselves. So whether it's saying I'm sorry to someone or I love you or I'll go take that next step and apply for that job, or even just putting the clothes in the dryer, procrastination is that gnarly reminder for us to wake up and level up. So until we choose differently, we're going to be stuck in this karmic loop. But don't worry, because we're going to discuss how to shift your relationship with procrastination later in the show. Okay, we've looked at how procrastination plays with your soul and your psyche. But what about your money? Coming up next, we'll talk about the cost of delay financially and energetically, and how you can shift this. If you're a spiritual entrepreneur feeling stuck in your business, relationship, or just unsure about your next steps in life, an Akashic Records VIP package might be exactly what you need.

Every day you don't send the offer. Respond to someone, raise your rates, or reply to the DM is another day that the universe can't match your energy. You're not playing it safe. You're energetically putting abundance on hold. I once worked with a very talented healer. She told me that people were always reaching out to her to try and book a session, but she often didn't respond because she felt like she didn't want to work that hard. Now, the wacky thing is that she was working for someone else and always dreamed about having her own business. Somehow, she couldn't see that responding to these requests would actually be the pathway to financial freedom. She was actually stuck in a very common money-related procrastination pattern. This common pattern looks like this. Now, if you're finding that you're experiencing these procrastination patterns around money and wealth, it's favorable for you to shift when you're ready. And I hope you're ready sooner than later. And you may need to take these small steps, like being fully aware of what's going on with your finances before you can level up and start investing. You may feel like you need to expand your financial literacy or be more proactive in paying down debt so you can gain financial freedom. The key is that you're willing to own your money energy and money story and live in alignment with it rather than feeling fearful and anxious about the unknown. You get to chart your territory and story with your money and finances when you stop procrastinating and putting off what needs to be done. So why do we procrastinate around making financial decisions? The answer is because we're afraid of making the wrong move and potentially losing out on a lot of money. So if we've had to learn some lessons around financial responsibilities and financial accountability, it's likely because we have a soul contract around money lessons and wealth. And when we shift our behavior and become proactive instead of procrastinating, we make wise money moves and attract more financial opportunities and blessings than before. Well, procrastination is a bit of a trickster, isn't it? So, how do we get out of this loop? Coming up next, we'll look at how to manifest a life beyond procrastination and why rewarding your progress is part of the magic.

What would life look like when we stop stalling? Imagine this. You're living a life beyond procrastination that feels spacious, fulfilling, and alive. You're moving with clarity, you're acting with confidence, and you trust yourself to get it done without forcing or burnout. And instead of chasing success, you're walking in alignment with it. Now, this type of life can be a reality when you reframe your relationship with procrastination. See, you're already familiar with how you're being and doing right now. So to live a life beyond procrastination requires, well, a little co-creation. Manifesting a different outcome isn't just visualizing and waiting. It's willing to step up and take action when the moment appears. When you act in alignment, even a small action, the universe mirrors your movement. And if you want to manifest faster, then you've got to be willing to take one aligned action before the doubt takes over. See, the secret trick to manifesting a procrastination-free life is in the power of rewards. When you start to take proactive action and recognize it, you're rewiring how you're being written within. High five, that's a win. That social post you almost deleted but didn't? That's another win. And taking care of that bill before it's due? Come on, friend, that's another win. So how can we manifest a procrastination free life? The answer is with small intentional decisions that move you forwards, not backwards. And when you celebrate your wins, you're turning stuckness into flow. And this becomes sustainable over time. So the next time procrastination appears, think of it as a signal, not a life sentence. That's where everything begins to shift. Because when you take that moment to shift towards a decision and action that works in favor of you, this ripple effect continues to draw blessings and positive outcomes your way. And you're making progress as a soul. So this is absolutely worthy of celebration. Now, in our next episode, we're going to discuss how to transform your inner critic. If you want to hear a different voice cheering you on from within, you'll definitely want to catch this episode. Until then, friend, take that step, no matter how big or small, because your future self is actually cheering you on. No matter how you look at it, you're always making decisions every single day. Some of these decisions keep you aligned on your soul's path, and others are simply responding to circumstances around you. With these decisions come questions like what's the next best step? When you tune in to the answer, both the podcast and your inner knowing, you open the door to the insight, clarity, and trust you need to keep going one aligned step at a time. Thanks for listening, and remember, your path is continuously unfolding, and the answers are closer than you think.
