Every part of you is working to serve you in some way, even if it doesn’t feel that way right now. Instead of forcing through resistance, what if you got curious about it?
Use the process below to uncover the deeper desire behind your procrastination—so you can move toward your goals with clarity and devotion.
Step 1: Awareness
Where is procrastination showing up in your life? What goal is it keeping you from?
Step 2: Spot the Judgment
What are you telling yourself about this?
(Example: I’m lazy, I should be doing more, I always sabotage myself…)
Step 3: Identify the Inner Block
What is the inner block getting in the way of you achieving your goal?
(Example: Perfectionism. It has to be flawless or I’ll fail. Self-Doubt. What if I’m not good enough? People-Pleasing. What if I let someone down? Inner Critic (I’ll never do this right anyway…)
Step 4: Your Relationship With This Block
When this block shows up, how do you respond?
(Example: I distract myself, I overthink, I freeze, I judge myself harder…)
Step 5: Is It Working?
Be honest—how well is this strategy actually working for you? ☐ Not at all ☐ Moderately ☐ Pretty well
Step 6: The Hidden Devotion
How is this block trying to serve you? How is it trying to help me, even if it’s not working?
Step 7: A New Approach
Now that you see what procrastination has been trying to do for you, how can you honor that deeper desire directly without using the block?
