You're listening to the Confidence Podcast. Your favorite coaching podcast oozes in with motivation, inspiration, and confidence to help you boldly take action on your dreams.

On your host, Trish Blackwell, internationally recognized Confidence Coach, best-selling author, and founder of the College of Confidence, the most encouraging place on the Internet.

I teach go-getters in life how to take their thoughts captive, how to step out of the shadows of self-doubt, and how to courageously step into their purpose with confidence.

It's time to pump our confidence muscles and train our thoughts y'all. Let's get started.

Hey there, it's Trish Blackwell, and you're listening to the Confidence Podcast. This is episode 513, and we're going...

Go to go deep and quick on a topic that we all need reminders on, and that is procrastination and putting things off.

Okay, so I have never identified as a procrastinator. However, there are things that I put off in my life, and I do specialize in working with people who struggle with procrastination, but I also...

I just want you to be open-minded as you listen to today's show, because we all have areas of our lives that we're putting on hope, that we're putting on delay.

Now, you might not be the quintessential procrastinator, but this episode is still for you.

Now, you might be saying, no, no, no, Trish, like legit. I need some help. I am a procrastinator. You, this episode is for you, and for those of you, who say that you are neither, but you just take a while to get going.

I'm going to call you out, and call you a perfectionist, and in that perfectionism, please know that your perfectionism is creating of you a procrastinator.

So, we're going to go into all the reasons why we fall into this pit, but really why the stickiness of it keeps you stuck.

And I actually, on purpose, I'm going to coach you today in a pretty succinct way.

Today's going to be a shorter episode than normal, because I want you to go take action on something. My challenge to you is to go take massive action, to start identifying someone who takes action.

So procrastination and delay and putting things off happen often, because we are identifying as people who, who do that, stop allowing yourself to identify as that, to have a self-concept where you take your time.

Life is so short, and you are given the gift of breath, the gift of life, the gift of today, go maximize it.

Before we dive into the coaching, and I'm excited, I'm coaching on procrastination, I'm going to help you understand why it's happening.

Then we're going to get deepens, have a heart to heart about what is it that you're putting off in your life, and then I'm going to talk to you about changing your patterns, and giving you seven things that you can do right away.

So that's what you're going to get in the coaching today, before we do that, hey, our review of the week is from car, C-S-C-A-S-C-K.

C-A-R-S-C-K, and they said, changes, perspectives.

Thank you, Trish, for this helpful, powerful podcast. It just discovered you today, and I have been listening to podcast after podcast.

You bring up so many wonderful ideas, perspective, and have already helped me on my journey of self-improvement, and building my confidence.
