Podcasts about Procrastination

In this episode, Heather sits down with her good friend Nicole Begley for an honest conversation about productivity, efficiency, and why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to running a business. They share their vastly different ways of managing tasks, planning their days, and getting things done—and why trying to force someone else's system onto yourself often creates more frustration than results. If you've ever felt like you're "doing productivity wrong," this episode will be incredibly validating. Key Takeaways:  There is no universal productivity system. What works brilliantly for one person may completely fail for someone else. Different brains require different approaches. Success comes from understanding your natural tendencies instead of fighting them. Stop making productivity struggles mean something about you. A system not working doesn't mean you're flawed. Self-awareness is more valuable than discipline. Learning how your brain operates helps you build sustainable systems. Shame keeps you stuck. Replacing judgment with curiosity creates freedom and momentum. Procrastination isn't always the problem. Sometimes it's simply how your brain naturally works under certain conditions. You don't have to force yourself into someone else's box. Your business gets to fit your brain—not the other way around. Deadlines and accountability matter differently for everyone. Knowing your triggers helps you create better systems. Flexibility is a strength. Productivity isn't about perfection—it's about finding what consistently supports you. The goal isn't to become someone else. The goal is to become more effective as yourself. What if you've never been bad at productivity… you've just been using the wrong system? What if the thing you've been criticizing about yourself is actually valuable information? This conversation will make you rethink everything you've believed about getting things done. Press play and finally give yourself permission to work the way your brain was designed to work. How to Support the Podcast: Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or wherever you listen to podcasts.

  If life keeps speeding up and the demands keep stacking up (kids, parents, work, your own busy brain) then this one's for you. In this episode I interview speaker, writer and self-development expert Lily Silverton about her book Prioritize This: A Practical Guide for Thriving in a World That Won't Slow Down. We dig into three chapters that land hardest for the midlife squeezed middle: stress, overwhelm, and procrastination and some practical, brain-based tools for each. Lily is candid about her own experiences navigating the combination of a seriously ill father and young children, and why she has no time for self-help advice written for people with no heed for the demands of real life. We discuss: The two most robust, evidence-backed interventions — movement and social connection. Building your own bespoke stress toolkit (the "pick and mix", not the prescriptive programme) SITs and SATs: stress-inducing vs stress-alleviating thoughts, and turning the dial down on catastrophising The multitasking myth — why it's really task switching, and what each switch costs you Three questions to cut through overwhelm Procrastination as emotional management, not time management - aka "what feeling am I avoiding?" AI, the hamster wheel, and whether technology will actually save us time...

Cet épisode aux entrepreneures qui ont déjà beaucoup travaillé sur elles, qui ont déjà dépassé une bonne partie de leur peur de l'échec, qui ont déjà élevé leur niveau de conscience… mais qui sentent qu'il reste encore des zones où elles se freinent dès qu'un move devient vraiment risqué.Si tu es à ce stade où tu sais déjà beaucoup de choses, où tu as déjà fait du travail identitaire, émotionnel ou énergétique, mais où certaines décisions continuent malgré tout à activer de la peur, de la résistance ou une forme de blocage… alors cet épisode va te parler.Dans cet épisode, je te partage une autre façon de voir l'échec et le succès. Une façon beaucoup plus avancée, beaucoup plus libératrice, et probablement très différente de ce que tu as déjà entendu. On va parler du lien entre échec, succès, fantasme, liberté d'action, rapport au risque, focus, expansion et niveau de conscience.On va voir ensemble :pourquoi l'échec n'est pas juste une pertepourquoi le succès n'est pas uniquement un gainen quoi succès et échec sont en réalité les deux faces d'une même piècepourquoi fantasmer le succès t'empêche de passer à l'action à la hauteur de ton potentielet comment devenir beaucoup plus libre dans tes décisions, tes stratégies et tes moves d'expansion.Cet épisode va particulièrement résonner si :tu as déjà travaillé sur ta peur de l'échec mais qu'elle revient encore devant certains gros movestu sens que tu t'autorises beaucoup de choses… sauf les décisions les plus audacieusestu as conscience de ton potentiel mais tu l'utilises parfois à 20% au lieu de l'utiliser pleinementtu veux sortir du fantasme du succès pour enfin te reconnecter à ce que tu veux vraiment accomplirtu sens que ton prochain niveau demande un travail plus profond, plus fin, plus avancé que les “basiques mindset” habituels.Et si ce que je partage ici résonne fort avec toi, il y a de grandes chances que tu aies le profil des femmes que j'accompagne dans mes espaces de coaching les plus profonds, notamment dans mon mastermind, où on travaille à la fois sur les barrières identitaires et sur les stratégies d'expansion concrètes qui permettent de soutenir ton prochain niveau.Si aujourd'hui tu sens que le vrai sujet n'est plus de “comprendre” tes blocages, mais d'aller au-delà, de les traverser, et de devenir libre de faire ce qui t'inspire indépendamment du résultat, alors réserve un appel découverte ici : https://tidycal.com/thinkwithfarah/appel-decouverte-think-with-farah Mentionné dans l'épisode : That Bitch, la Masterclass pour devenir une référence auprès des personnes prêtes à payer.

Host:Sonya JanisseEpisode Title: No Hacks, No Quacks: The Real Practice of Building Your Next ChapterFormat: Solo Episode[00:00 - 02:30] Introduction: Real Life & The BiggerHey everyone, welcome back to the show. This is Episode 211.If my voice sounds a little more slowed down or deeply anchored today, it's because I am practicing exactly what I preach. Two days ago, on Thursday, I had to get a round of needles for my neuralgia. It is intense, it takes a toll, and it demands that I pause.So today, I am recording this from a place of deep rest, prioritization, and making sacrifices for the bigger picture. I could have pushed myself to the brink this week, but the bigger picture requires my health. It requires me to look at my schedule and say, "What actually matters right now?"And that brings us right into today's conversation. Because I am so incredibly tired of the noise out there.Let's just lay the cards on the table: I am not a full-of-shit wellness influencer. I am not here to sell you a magical 90-day transformation where you wake up a completely different person, drinking green juice on a mountaintop, totally cured of human friction.I hate hacks. I hate quacks. And I absolutely loathe marketing gimmicks.Let's be honest, most of those supplements you're being targeted with on social media? They are costly garbage. They are expensive urine packaged in aesthetic bottles designed to make you feel like you can buy your way out of the actual work.We need to talk about what it actually takes to build a life, a business, and a body that feels like home, without the fluff.[02:30 - 06:00] Segment The Hard Truths About Consistency and FeelingsHere is the truth that the wellness industry won't tell you: You already know what to do.That's not the problem. You don't need another masterclass, you don't need another book, and you don't need to be motivated. Motivation is a fair-weather friend. It shows up when the sun is shining and vanishes the second things get heavy or painful.We treat consistency like it's a personality trait, like some people are just born with the "consistency gene" and the rest of us missed out. It's not a trait.Consistency is a practice. It is a muscle you build when you don't want to.And that requires us to reframe how we look at our emotions. Feelings are real. But they are not decision-making criteria.“Feelings are real. But they are not decision-making criteria.”If I only created content, built my business, or took care of myself when I felt like it, especially living with chronic pain, I would never leave my bed. If you wait until you feel like doing the hard thing, you will be waiting forever. Procrastination will bury you if you let it.When you find yourself stuck, throwing your hands up and saying, "I don't know how to fix this," I want you to pause. "I don't know" is where you start. It is not where you stop. It's an invitation to figure it out, not an exit ramp to give up.Because at the end of the day, you can't outsource your pushups. Nobody else can do the heavy lifting for your life. Learning about the workout won't change your body. Learning won't change you. Practice will.[06:00 - 09:30] Segment 2: Little Hinges Swing Big DoorsSo how do we actually practice this without burning out?First, remember that successful people ask for help.Pushing uphill by yourself isn't a badge of honor; it's a fast track to exhaustion. Asking for help—whether that's from your support circle, a professional, or your community—is a strategy, not a weakness.Second, embrace the unsexy truth: Something is better than nothing. Every single time.If you can't do a full one-hour workout, do ten minutes of stretching. If you can't write a whole chapter of your book, write one paragraph. If you can't launch a massive course today, write down the outline.We get paralyzed by perfectionism, but specificity is a superpower. When you get crystal clear on the exact, tiny step you need to take next, the overwhelm vanishes. Little hinges swing big doors. You don't need a sledgehammer to change your life; you just need to move the right small hinge consistently.[09:30 - 12:00] Segment 3: Behind the Scenes (The Foundations)I am applying every single one of these principles behind the scenes right now as I build the foundations for what is coming next for this community. I am taking small, specific actions every day to bring three beautiful projects to life:Fashion Over 50: The Bloom Within Wardrobe. We are redefining what it means to dress, feel, and show up authentically in our fifties. No rules, just true personal alignment.New Content Delivery. I am working on brand new courses and bite-sized mini-training sessions designed to give you actionable practices, not more theoretical fluff.The Retreat. [Lowers voice playfully] Okay... lower your voice, because this is a "shhhhh" situation. We are only sharing a tiny bit right now, but we are officially looking at a Southwestern Ontario location for our very first live, in-person event.I've been thinking a lot about what to call this retreat experience. I want it to reflect that feeling of stepping out of the hustle, dropping the armor, and anchoring into your true power. I'm playing with a few titles, and I'd love for you to sit with these:The Grounded GatheringThe Aligned ReturnThe Sanctuary PracticeWe aren't sharing anything else just yet, but the foundation is being poured.[12:00 - 13:00] Conclusion & Call to ActionYou don't need a 90-day gimmick. You just need to look at today and ask yourself: What is the small hinge I can move right now? What is the "something" that is infinitely better than "nothing"?Here is my call to action for you today: I want to hear from you. Which one of these truths hit you hardest today? Was it that you can't outsource your pushups? Was it that your feelings aren't decision-making criteria?Take a screenshot of this episode, share it to your stories, tag me, and tell me the one unsexy, practical thing you are going to do today anyway—even if you aren't motivated.Thank you for being here, for leaning into the real practice with me, and I will talk to you next week.Episode Summary: In Episode 211, we are throwing out the wellness industry playbook. No marketing gimmicks, no costly garbage supplements, and absolutely no 90-day magical transformations. Instead, we are diving into the unsexy, beautiful reality of what it actually takes to build your life: real practice, radical prioritization, and understanding that consistency isn't a personality trait—it's a choice. Plus, get a top-secret behind-the-scenes update on what's coming next for the community (including a whisper about a Southwestern Ontario location!).In this episode, we discuss:Modeling real rest and prioritization after a heavy week of neuralgic treatments.Why motivation is a myth and why your feelings shouldn't be your decision-making criteria.The power of "something is better than nothing" and why specificity is your ultimate superpower.A sneak peek into Fashion Over 50: The Bloom Within Wardrobe, new mini-trainings, and a top-secret retreat update.Connect with Me:Share this episode on Instagram/Facebook and tag me with your breakthrough!www.sonyajanisse.comsonyajanisse@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/sonyajanisse

Procrastination is the most expensive fear because the price tag is your life. Every day you wait to begin, you're stealing from your future self. The worst part is you know you're doing it, but don't know how to stop. Jon Acuff joins me on the next Susie Larson Live to share from his book, "Procrastination Proof: Never Get Stuck Again." It's not your willpower holding you back. It's permission.  Jon mentions his book "Soundtracks" Check out Susie's podcast God Impressions on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

Send us Fan MailWe don't think about this a lot, but people pleasing often comes with a lot of mental math. We try to figure out the exact right "threshold" at which it's OK to say "no" to a new request. At what number of overtime hours can we legitimately say we're too busy to turn down a project? At what level of stress? That fear of just saying you are at capacity without having an ironclad proof that you deserve it leads to a lot of overworking, stress, and burnout. During the "Too Perfect, Too Nice, Too Tired" webinar on June 25th, I will teach you how to step away from that mental math and start feeling more confident in your instincts of when there is too much on your plate.  To register, go to restovergrind.com/webinar.Book a free consult call with me: restovergrind.com/work-with-meEmail me: info@restovergrind.comDownload my free videos on the 3Ps of Exhaustion (People Pleasing, Perfectionism, and Procrastination): restovegrind.com/free-videosInstagram and TikTok: @maria_stoyadinova 

A lot of us are tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix. We're doing the things — the work, the list, the showing up — and still, something is pulling at us. A low hum of unfinished. For years, Robin Quinn Keehn thought that hum was a personal failing: not disciplined enough, not organized enough. It wasn't any of that. It was Open Loops. This is the backbone episode of the show — the one to send anyone who's new. Robin defines an Open Loop plainly (a commitment, promise, or agreement that's unfinished, incomplete, or outdated, quietly draining your time, energy, and peace), then walks through the three kinds almost all of us carry: Relational Loops with other people, Self-Loops — the promises we break to ourselves — and Unspoken Brokens, the things that needed to be said and never were. You'll hear why loops stay open (it's avoidance, not discipline), what they actually cost — especially what broken self-promises do to your confidence — and the three ways to close any loop: end it, evolve it, or recommit to it, on purpose. This is also where Robin introduces the free 5-Day Detox Your To-Do List Challenge, starting June 29. In this episode: What an Open Loop actually is — and why it stays quiet The three kinds: Relational Loops, Self-Loops, and Unspoken Brokens Why broken promises to yourself quietly erode your confidence Why open loops are an avoidance problem, not a discipline problem The real cost: time, energy, peace — and belief in yourself The three ways to close any loop: end it, evolve it, recommit to it An invitation to the free 5-Day Detox Your To-Do List Challenge (starts June 29) If this episode resonated with you, you might enjoy our free People Skillz community — a structured space to practice steadier, more intentional communication. We also created a short Communication Patterns Quiz to help you identify how you respond under pressure. You'll find both here.

Most people believe they need more confidence, clarity, or motivation before they begin. But what if the very act of waiting is what's keeping them stuck? In this episode, I explore why procrastination is often less about discipline and more about psychological weight - and how movement frequently creates the clarity we're waiting for. A simple shift that can help you stop analysing and start moving.   Show Notes: Meet me on Substack here.

SummaryIn this episode, Chase Smith and Chris Bealhen dive into one of the biggest obstacles to health and fitness success: procrastination. They explain why most people already know what to do, but continue putting off taking action until the "perfect time." The problem isn't a lack of knowledge. It's fear, perfectionism, overthinking, and waiting for motivation to show up.They discuss how procrastination can look different for everyone, from constantly researching and planning to jumping from one program to another. Chase and Chris break down the mindset traps that keep people stuck and share practical strategies to stop delaying progress. They emphasize that confidence comes from action, not the other way around, and challenge listeners to stop waiting and start taking imperfect action today.

Procrastination on workouts and healthy habits is rarely about time or energy.   There is usually a feeling underneath the delay that the mind is working hard to avoid.   Naming that feeling takes some of its power away.   Making a smaller first move takes the rest.   The goal does not have to shrink.   Just the entry point.   Once you are moving the resistance almost always does too.

Putting off workouts and healthy habits is rarely about laziness or not caring enough.   There is almost always a feeling underneath the delay that the mind is trying to avoid.   Once that feeling gets named the procrastination starts making more sense and becomes easier to interrupt.   Smaller asks, clearer decisions made in advance, and less meaning attached to each task can change the pattern faster than more motivation ever will.   Procrastination has a starting point.   Find it and the way through it gets a lot clearer.

It took Robin Emdon 10 years to finish a six-year degree. On the 20-minute drive home from celebrating with his brother, he started counting what procrastination had actually cost him: relationships, finances, career, health. By the time he pulled into his driveway, he was furious. He was a trained life coach. And he didn't have the cure. That moment sent him into 900 research studies on procrastination and what he found will completely change how you think about why you delay, avoid, and stall on the things that matter most. Procrastination isn't a character flaw or a discipline problem. It's hardwired into your brain and there's a science-backed way to work with it instead of against it. In this high-energy, deeply practical conversation, George sits down with Robin J. Emdon, accountability coach, creator of GetResultsology®, and host of the GoalBusters Podcast, to unpack the real psychology behind why entrepreneurs stay stuck and exactly what to do about it. This one is equal parts neuroscience and permission slip. You'll leave with a completely new framework for productivity and the clarity to finally stop mistaking busyness for progress. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why procrastination and productivity are just vehicles and what you're actually driving toward The brain science behind why we're hardwired to procrastinate (and why it's not your fault) The three neurotransmitters that determine your productivity state and how to activate them Robin's Inner Productivity Team: the Conductor, the Scholar, and the Fun-Sized Warrior Why setting big goals can actually trigger procrastination and what to use instead How external accountability can raise goal achievement by up to 33% The Pomodoro technique and how to use it to break patterns and build momentum fast Why the most productive environment isn't always the tidiest one The four questions that cut through any form of self-deception around avoidance How to connect your daily micro-actions to your Personal Life Vision Key Takeaways: ✔️Procrastination is what stops you from living the life of your dreams. Productivity is what gets you there. ✔️We're hardwired to procrastinate. The brain's limbic system is designed for survival, not creativity.  ✔️To get into the groove of productivity, you need three neurotransmitters present: dopamine (the Conductor), acetylcholine (the Scholar), and noradrenaline (the Fun-Sized Warrior). When all three are active, you're in flow. ✔️Goals create obligation. Obligation creates anxiety. Anxiety triggers threat modality which shuts down your prefrontal cortex entirely. Use micro-deadlines and clear next steps instead ✔️External accountability is one of the most powerful productivity tools available.  ✔️One POM (25-minute focused block) is enough to start. You don't have to solve everything today. You just have to begin. ✔️The four questions that cut through any avoidance:  What are you pretending not to know?  What are you pretending not to see?  Where else does this show up in your life?  And what is it costing you?

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott explore the exhausting reality of procrastination, executive dysfunction, and navigating deadlines as neurodivergent adults.From forgotten weddings and last-minute panic buying to missed emails, time blindness, and overwhelming admin tasks, they unpack how procrastination is rarely about laziness — and far more often linked to anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, and fear of failure.They discuss practical coping strategies too, including body doubling, breaking tasks into smaller steps, momentum-building, and learning to work with your brain rather than against it.Funny, chaotic, painfully relatable, and deeply honest — this episode is a raw look at the emotional reality of executive dysfunction and the hidden energy cost of simply trying to keep up.Our Sponsors:

Matt examines "revenge bedtime procrastination," where individuals voluntarily delay sleep to reclaim autonomy. Distinguishing this "unlocked door" from the "locked door" of insomnia, he uses global data to explain how smartphones and low agency trigger this behavior which then leads to chronic sleep debt and impaired cognitive function.Matt goes on to link sleep irregularity to all-cause mortality, noting how inconsistent timing compromises long-term health. He offers such solutions as "implementation intentions" - ‘If-Then' plans - proven in trials to reduce delay. By addressing chronotype conflict and the "Monday effect," our host provides a scientific protocol to align biological rhythms for restorative sleep.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.In a supplement industry where trust is critical, Matt uses podcast supporter Puori.

How often do we call ourselves lazy… when really, our brain is just trying to protect us?In this episode of Success Genius, we dive deep into the neuroscience behind procrastination and why avoiding hard tasks isn't a discipline problem — it's your amygdala responding to uncertainty.

Are you putting off something that still matters to you? In this episode of This Life or Something Better, Priscilla explores procrastination in a new way. You are not a procrastinator. You may have the habit of procrastination, and habits can be changed. As we get closer to the halfway point of the year, many people begin to drift from the goals, commitments, and personal growth intentions they made earlier in the year. The weather gets nicer, schedules change, distractions increase, and the things that once felt important can quietly get pushed to another day. This episode will help you understand procrastination as a pattern of avoidance, not a personal flaw. Priscilla shares three simple steps to help you break the habit of procrastination, return to what matters, and rebuild self-trust through small, clear action. You'll learn how to create a clear next step, remove distractions and easy exits, and create a runway of time so you can move through resistance and begin again. If you have been struggling with procrastination, motivation, follow-through, focus, or keeping commitments to yourself, this episode will help you shift out of judgment and back into action.

You know what you should do. You're just not doing it. The gym bag is by the door. The draft is open on your screen. The email's been sitting there for three days. And somewhere underneath all of it is the same quiet assumption running the show: that you have to feel like it first. That motivation comes before action.  What if that's backwards? That's the premise behind Morita therapy, and it's the reason this conversation with Gregg Krech might rearrange how you think about getting things done. Gregg is the Executive Director of the ToDo Institute, a Naikan education and retreat center in Vermont.. He is also the author of several books, including: "Naikan: Gratitude, Grace, and the Japanese Art of Self-Reflection," "A Natural Approach to Mental Wellness," "The Art of Taking Action," and "Question Your Life."   For nearly thirty years Gregg has been teaching an approach called Morita therapy developed a century ago by a Japanese psychiatrist to treat severe anxiety, and it offers a genuinely different way of dealing with the feelings that stop us. Here's the core of it. When we have a difficult feeling, like anxiety, depression, anger, or the urge to quit, we think we have two options: express it or suppress it. Morita therapy offers a third. Acceptance.  You coexist with the feeling, and you take action anyway.  In this conversation we get into how you actually build that skill, not as a concept, but as something you train like free throws or piano. We cover why motivation is optional, what the maxim "lead with the body" means, why the smartest people often get the most stuck, and how to use your attention to relieve suffering in real time. We talk about recovering from real setbacks like job loss and divorce, and end on a surprisingly freeing idea about indecision: why what you do after you decide matters far more than the decision itself. Some highlights from the episode: 02:36 Origins of Morita Therapy 06:39 The third options  10:48 Thoughts vs actions  13:31 Purpose and feelings 17:24 Practice restraint and action 21:37 Directors vs actors  24:20 Willpower  27:27 Motivation and optionality 29:09 Lead with your body 30:38 Setbacks 33:29 Attention 35:37 Meditation  41:00 Breath practice 45:31 Resistance 48:24 Exercises over maxims 55:22 Indecision and commitment Enjoy!

Hey Clutterbugs! Struggling with procrastination? You're not alone. Procrastination can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and trapped in a cycle of guilt and avoidance. In this episode, I open up about my own struggles with procrastination—how I've started too many projects, gotten overwhelmed, and ended up in a rut—and share the strategies that have helped me break free. If you're ready to ditch the overwhelm, tackle unfinished projects, and finally get things done, this episode is for you! We'll also be joined by Dr. Christine Li, aka the Procrastination Coach, who shares her expert insights on why we procrastinate (hint: it's not about laziness!) and how to reframe your mindset to take action. Together, we'll tackle the root causes of procrastination, from perfectionism and fear of failure to negative self-talk and the shame that keeps us stuck. Plus, I'll share my favorite “do it crappy” method to help you stop overthinking and start making progress—no matter how messy it might be. And don't think you're just going to sit and listen! I want you to grab an unfinished project—whether it's that pile of laundry, a junk drawer, or a half-finished craft—and get moving while you tune in. Set a timer, borrow my energy, and let's tackle it together. You'll be amazed at how much better you feel when you close the loop and finally get something done. I'm also answering your questions in our Talk to Cas segment, where we chat about all your clutter questions.

Rosie souffre d'une procrastination qui l'empêche d'avancer dans ses projets personnels et professionnels, malgré une forte envie de changer.

Bestselling novelist Holly Ringland on writing from joy instead of fear, the toolkit she built to meet the inner critic with self-compassion, and finding the first true sentence of her debut after decades of silence.   We discuss Why the pain of not writing eventually outweighs the pain of writing. What grief and loss can crack open in a writer that nothing else can. How the first true line of a novel can arrive once you stop listening to the reasons you can't write it. A bullet-point approach to plotting that protects the nervous system from the blank page. What to ask for from early readers, and what to refuse. The distinction between self-doubt and the inner critic, and why it matters. Meeting the inner critic with an equal and opposite internalised force. Breaking procrastination by making the next step impossibly small. Fiction as the lie that tells the truth truest.   Resources & Links

Why do I keep procrastinating?Procrastination usually comes from one of three places: the task isn't actually aligned with who you are or where you're going, you're afraid of being visible (the witch wound), or you don't fully trust yourself to follow through. Most "procrastination" is really a way of protecting yourself from feeling bad.Is procrastination a character flaw?No. Procrastination is a safety mechanism. You're not a person who procrastinates - you're a person who keeps yourself from feeling uncomfortable. Naming the real cause underneath it is what actually creates movement.What is the witch wound and how does it cause procrastination?The witch wound is the inherited fear of being seen, being different, or being "too much" rooted in ancestral and historical danger around women's power. It shows up as visibility anxiety: you stall on the thing you want because some part of you fears rejection from your peers or family for stepping out of line.☀️
