Good morning. I'm so glad that you made it back. So in our last session we discovered

the root cause underlining the one thing we battle with most on a day-over-day basis, even hour by hour, if not even minute-by-minute basis.

What is it? Yeah, you remember?

Procrastination. And we learned procrastination has nothing to do with discipline, work ethic, our character, purpose, goals, or whether

we have a compelling why or not.

And it has nothing to do with what we know to do, which is why the smart people at the

procrastination research group said, quote, procrastination is

essentially irrational, and it doesn't make sense to do something you know is

going to have negative consequences.

She adds, but people engage in this irrational

cycle of chronic procrastination because of an inability to manage negative moods and

emotions around a task. So, procrastination isn't so much about our ability to manage time

but it's actually a form of escapism a way to cope with challenging emotions

brought on by a certain task.

Emotions like boredom, anxiety, insecurity, frustration, resentment, self-doubt, and the like.

It is one of life's great ironies, isn't it?

We procrastinate to avoid negative feelings like stress, but we end up feeling worse like regret

and shame because we procrastinated.

How do you like that?

Would you like to end this horribly corrupted cycle?
