The Purpose of Procrastination

Episode 38: The Purpose of Procrastination We tend to have a negative connotation with procrastination. There's a lot of blame, inner criticism and sense of failure that comes up for most leaders when they experience procrastination in their work or life. The personal development industry also tends to frame procrastination as a toxic behavior that you need to push or force yourself out of in order to meet your goals and step into your vision. While procrastination is a behavior that can certainly inhibit you from taking aligned action in your life and business, there's so much more to it than that. Instead of considering procrastination as an inhibitor, what would happen if you considered it as a cue to go deeper? Procrastination has many faces, and while it can certainly be indicative of a fear or "mindset block" as it relates to your work, it actually might be trying to communicate something much different to you, and it's only through understanding what procrastination looks like for us, can we start to use it as our alley, rather than our enemy. In this episode we explore: -how procrastination can help you work through energetic blocks -the 4 things procrastination might be communicating to you -why making procrastination "bad" actually continues the behavior in a way that doesn't serve you -how procrastination is actually a really important part of how you create and so much more!!
