00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.839
<v Speaker 1>Hey everybody, Riley Hart here and welcome back to Fearless

2
00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:07.719
<v Speaker 1>Mindset Mornings. I'm so glad you're joining me again today.

3
00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:10.039
<v Speaker 1>You know that feeling when you have a mountain of

4
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:12.880
<v Speaker 1>tasks looming over you, but all you really want to

5
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:15.400
<v Speaker 1>do is binge watch another episode of that show you're

6
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:20.920
<v Speaker 1>totally hooked on. Yeah, we've all been there. Procrastination, my friends,

7
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:23.839
<v Speaker 1>is the sneaky monster that loves to suck our time

8
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:28.160
<v Speaker 1>and energy. But guess what, today we're tackling it head on.

9
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>We're diving deep into those procrastination habits, figuring out why

10
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:36.200
<v Speaker 1>they hold us back, and most importantly, arming ourselves with

11
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.719
<v Speaker 1>the tools to break free. Because, let's face it, there

12
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:42.079
<v Speaker 1>are so many amazing things you could be doing if

13
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:46.520
<v Speaker 1>only you weren't letting procrastination steal your thunder. So buckle up,

14
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:49.719
<v Speaker 1>grab a cup of coffee or maybe that extra slice

15
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.479
<v Speaker 1>of toast, because who am I kidding? We all deserve

16
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.399
<v Speaker 1>a little treat, and get ready to conquer those procrastination demons.

17
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:00.439
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's kick things off with five key tapeways

18
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:06.239
<v Speaker 1>to help us slay this beast. One. Identify your procrastination triggers. Ever,

19
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>notice certain tasks make you want to crawl under the

20
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:12.239
<v Speaker 1>covers and pretend you're not there. It's about understanding what

21
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.519
<v Speaker 1>sets those procrastination alarms off for you. Is it a

22
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.840
<v Speaker 1>fear of failure, feeling overwhelmed, Maybe it's just plain boredom.

23
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Once you know your triggers, you can start tackling them

24
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:28.079
<v Speaker 1>head on. Two. Break down those big, scary projects into smaller,

25
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:33.159
<v Speaker 1>more manageable chunks. This is a game changer. Folks. Ever

26
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.200
<v Speaker 1>heard the saying how do you eat an elephant one

27
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>bite at a time. It's true when a task feels insurmountable,

28
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.319
<v Speaker 1>it's easy to freeze up. But by breaking it down

29
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 1>into smaller steps, it becomes less intimidating and way more achievable. Three.

30
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Embrace the power of just starting. The hardest part is

31
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.799
<v Speaker 1>often just taking that first step. Once you get moving,

32
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>momentum builds, and suddenly you're surprised at how much you

33
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:03.799
<v Speaker 1>accompli So, next time you're battling the urge to procrastinate,

34
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>just commit to five minutes of work. You'll be amazed

35
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>at what you can achieve. Four. Create a dedicated work space,

36
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 1>even if it's just a corner of your kitchen table.

37
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.639
<v Speaker 1>Having a designated space for work helps signal to your

38
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>brain that it's time to focus and get things done.

39
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.919
<v Speaker 1>It also minimizes distractions and helps you stay on track. Five.

40
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.599
<v Speaker 1>Reward yourself. Celebrate those small victories along the way. Treat

41
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:33.199
<v Speaker 1>yourself to something you enjoy. A delicious snack, a quick

42
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.680
<v Speaker 1>walk in the park, or a few minutes of guilt

43
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:40.360
<v Speaker 1>free scrolling through social media, but don't go overboard. Positive

44
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:44.280
<v Speaker 1>reinforcement keeps you motivated and helps build that healthy habit loop.

45
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Let me paint a picture for you. Imagine Sarah, a

46
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 1>brilliant writer who's been struggling to finish her novel. She

47
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.199
<v Speaker 1>gets stuck in this endless cycle of starting, stopping, and

48
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 1>ultimately feeling defeated. She knows she has a great story

49
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.719
<v Speaker 1>inside her, but the fear of not being good enough

50
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 1>keeps whispering doubts in her ear. She tries everything, working

51
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:10.319
<v Speaker 1>late into the night, listening to motivational podcasts, even trying

52
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:13.479
<v Speaker 1>to write while walking on a treadmill not as effective

53
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>as it sounds. Finally, Sarah decides to take a different approach.

54
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:22.199
<v Speaker 1>She breaks down her novel into smaller chapters, sets realistic

55
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.840
<v Speaker 1>daily word counts, and creates a dedicated writing space in

56
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:29.639
<v Speaker 1>her spare room. She also starts rewarding herself with small

57
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.919
<v Speaker 1>treats for hitting those milestones a hot cup of tea,

58
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.080
<v Speaker 1>a walk in the park, or even just five minutes

59
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:40.479
<v Speaker 1>of reading her favorite book. Guess what it works. Sarah

60
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.439
<v Speaker 1>finds that by breaking down the daunting task into smaller,

61
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>more manageable chunks and celebrating her progress along the way,

62
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>she gains momentum and confidence. She rediscovers the joy of

63
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.199
<v Speaker 1>writing and eventually finishes her novel, sending it off to

64
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.919
<v Speaker 1>agents with a newfound sense of pride and accomplishment. So

65
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:03.439
<v Speaker 1>remember fred, friends, procrastination is a habit, not your destiny.

66
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.319

67
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:08.960
<v Speaker 1>and achieve all those amazing things you've been dreaming of.

68
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:13.120
