You Are Not So Smart

NOTE

Push Through the Perceived Threat

Individuals often resign themselves to a state of complacency, feeling stuck and defeated without recognizing that change is possible. Procrastination is identified as a physiological response triggered by perceived threats, which can occur without conscious awareness. This response engages the sympathetic nervous system, creating an ongoing state of anxiety and inaction. Understanding this mechanism allows for the realization that one doesn't need to fully comprehend the source of their anxiety to initiate movement and overcome procrastination. Awareness of the body's natural responses can empower individuals to push through their perceived limitations and seek supportive action.
