Procrastination enables me to:

• Not engage in vulnerable relationships
• Have the escape of always feeling busy
• Keeps me as a rehearsing victim
• Helps me avoid painful truth
• Helps me feel entitled, stay lazy
• It feeds my fears and my shame voices
• Keeps me devalued, easily comparable – never amount-able
• I stay confused, helpless, needy
• Ties me to past mistakes – my regret reel

Procrastination means I’m struggling, need help, need empathy, craving worthiness and that I need rest.

I can recognize procrastination – ask it for a diagnosis then acknowledge how far I’ve come. I can remind myself of my worth, be gentle (take a bath or nap) and then leave it alone.

Then I can ask for help … or help someone else.
