Root Cause of Procrastination
- You don't procrastinate tasks but the feelings and thoughts they trigger.
- Avoidance happens because these emotions feel hard to tolerate or face.
Build Emotional Tolerance
- When you want to avoid a task, pause and face your feelings instead of flinching.
- Build emotional tolerance by giving yourself small doses of uncomfortable feelings.
Face Resistance Through Journaling
- Use a resistance journal or sit quietly with your feelings to face resistance directly.
- Witness and allow emotions and thoughts linked to tasks without flinching for better self-awareness.
