5 Things Your Procrastination Is Telling You – And What You Can Do About It

Procrastination… what is that all about?!? How can you think differently in a way that will get you to push forward when you feel like hesitating? I’m Valorie Burton, and I sometimes jokingly refer to myself as a ‘recovering procrastinator.’

That’s because there are times when I push past my procrastination and get things done – and then there are times when I fall back into my old habits. Today I’m sharing on the subconscious habits that cause us to procrastinate, as well as the tools we can use to identify when we are procrastinating and what to do to stop it.

You can push through. You can achieve your goals. Sometimes it will be due to an adrenaline-fueled deadline, sometimes it will be so that you can make it to a Prince concert on time!

Getting things done with joy and ease is better, though. Tapping into our sense of purpose and meeting that deadline in a calm and deliberate manner (without anxiety, stress, and self-sabotaging thoughts) is way better.

Let’s unpack what it is that you are stalling on. Let’s discover what your procrastination is telling you about yourself. And then, once we’ve reflected on why we are holding ourselves back, we can get to work with actual tools to combat procrastination and achieve so much more in our lives. Let’s dive in!
