Part of the process of avoiding or procrastinating is overthinking or thinking about the worst possible scenario - so much so that it seems easier to not start. When we procrastinate, we're letting our thoughts self-sabotage our success.

The reality is, is that you don't always procrastinate. Things you like doing or are good at you have no problem tackling, but there was a time when you didn't know how to do those things either - until you did. We'll work on using the skills you have when you succeed and apply those skills to the problem space.

How often do you say things like "I can't bring myself to do it", "I'm just not motivated" or "Maybe I'm lazy?* This field is required.

Always

Sometimes

Never

When you make sweeping statements, it's generally a sign of not knowing where to start or what steps to take. Even experienced mountain climbers don't do Everest in a day. They buy the right equipment, eat right, and so on, then work towards base camp 1, 2, 3.

The point is, success isn't built in one step - there's a thousand small steps we take to reach our goals.

We'll work on getting back in touch with the skills you've forgotten you have - and utilise these skills to help you succeed.

When you're overwhelmed and avoiding, you're stuck in the present and focus on your negative thoughts and feelings. You can't imagine a positive outcome or future.

If this sounds like you, you're not alone, but it's also not an excuse. There are tools we can help you develop to find a way out of the negative space.

Avoidance won't change the outcome of a test or solve a problem or make a rash go away. Taking action might.

See the difference? Worrying is a thought. Actions are what you do.

Through our approach, you can learn the skills to stop avoidance and take action

Jane's tooth has hurt for over a week and she hasn't been to the dentist. What are the chances her tooth magically stopped hurting?* This field is required.

Of course it stopped hurting

She should really go before it gets worse

It's likely Jane's avoidance isn't a sign of laziness but a coping mechanism. Rather than take action or steps to fix an issue, she chose to avoid it. Sound familiar? Inaction doesn't change outcomes.

Learning the skills to take action rather than avoid the issue is at the core of what we work on together.
