Procrastination can be paralysing
It can stop
What starts as putting something off until tomorrow can spiral into a cycle of negative beliefs meaning procrastination becomes chronic. Around 20% of the population class themselves in this category. There are people who respond well to pressure and love the rush of waiting until the last minute to meet a deadline.
I used to believe that I procrastinated because I was lazy however through coaching I discovered that I put things off due to a combination of perfectionism and a fear of failure. It was better to deceive myself into believing that I had ‘chosen’ not to tackle something on my to-do list rather than attempt it and not perform to the high standards I set for myself. Now that I understand and recognise my behaviour and the thoughts behind it I am able to manage this meaning that I no longer procrastinate.
It is possible to overcome procrastination, I am living proof of this. There are a number of approaches that can be taken including coaching or cognitive behavioural therapy.
RTT will uncover the root cause of your procrastination and will rewire your neural pathways to install new beliefs. Coaching will then support the behavioural changes required and will help you develop strategies to overcome your old habits. What could your potential be once your limiting beliefs and behaviours are behind you?
