22: Doctors, your procrastination is EMOTIONAL
06 Feb 2024
Okay guys, here's a hard truth. All of your procrastination is ultimately due to you trying to avoid emotions. Your want to avoid the unpalatable or even downright repelling emotion of what every task or activity you planned to be doing may be conscious or, more commonly, subconscious. When not conscious (aware) of our reasoning, our minds will default to avoiding discomfort. Whenever we're not conscious about our choices during our day, we are likely to subconsciously choose to avoid the discomfort. When we appreciate that about our human minds, we can start to appreciate how important it is that we prepare ourselves with strategies for following through with things we associate with discomfort - even the SLIGHTEST tinge of discomfort. In this episode, we zoom in on what things we typically find ourselves procrastinating on and dissect out what discomfort is driving that procrastination. If you can see yourselves in these examples, you will have a first key piece of awareness that can allow you to break your procrastination Cognitive Programs in the future. Getting conscious of something that is currently subconscious to you is an enormous step towards being able to change it. Are you ready to change your procrastination habits? Join us in this episode.
