Have you ever told yourself, "I'll do it tomorrow," only to find yourself saying the same thing the next day? And the next?And the next?
All the while, feeling worse and worse about yourself? (been there, done that 🫣)
This episode is going to help so much. Click play to learn how you're NOT lazy, unmotivated, or any other garbage your inner mean girl is telling you.
I have the amazing Monica Packer on the Love Your Life Show this week. She's the host of the About Progress podcast and author of the new book STICKY HABITS (get it here: Sticky Habits https://amzn.to/4yAG3EH). She and I talk about the surprising reason so many of us procrastinate and why it often has nothing to do with discipline. We dive into the hidden ways perfectionism showed up in our lives, why success doesn't always feel the way we imagined it would, and how to stop waiting until everything feels "just right" before taking action.
We talk about a lot, including:
- Why procrastination is often a symptom, not the real problem.
- The hidden ways perfectionism may be showing up in your life (even when you swear you're not a perfectionist).
- The lie of what social media tells us success is.
- How to stop tying your worth to how well you mother, your bank account, or any other achievement.
- A healthier way to build habits that support, rather than shame, you. (This was especially awesome!)
- And how "good enough" action can lead to a life you love!
Whether you've been putting off a goal, waiting for the perfect time, or simply feeling stuck, this conversation will leave you feeling supported, feeling less broken, more confident, and with some ideas on how to move forward. I'm so glad you're here.
