Procrastination Is Not Laziness—It’s Protection

What if your procrastination isn’t a flaw… but a form of protection?

In this episode, we explore a compassionate and eye-opening perspective: that procrastination is often a subconscious act of self-protection—not laziness, weakness, or lack of discipline.

When you delay taking action, it may be because some part of you doesn’t feel safe to move forward. 

Fear of failure. Fear of success. Fear of being seen. Fear of disappointing others—or yourself. 

Underneath it all, procrastination may be your nervous system saying: “Not yet…
I’m not ready.”
