Live Event Invite: Lose Your Mind

- She invites listeners to get in-person or virtual tickets at marieforleo.com/London.
Procrastination Is Fear, Not Laziness
- Procrastination is not laziness but a fear-driven brain glitch that triggers avoidance.
- Your brain prioritizes safety over success, so avoidance feels protective even when it blocks progress.

- Your brain is wired to keep you safe rather than to make you successful, which reinforces avoidance behaviors.
- Each delay strengthens procrastination wiring, making future action harder unless you change the pattern.
