100. How to Actually Do the Thing
After a distraction, it takes an average of 23 minutes to return to the original task.
Not because you're weak. Because your environment was built using the same behavioral principles as slot machines to pull your attention away from what matters.
Final episode of the Anxious Procrastinator series, the neuroscience of focus and what committed action actually looks like when you bring everything together.
What would you do this week if you weren't playing-it-safe?
_______
STOP LETTING ANXIETY MAKE YOUR DECISIONS
WHO AM I?
My name is Patricia E. Zurita Ona, but my clients call me Dr. Z.
I’m a psychologist, a passionate behaviorist, and a person that loves to make behavioral science accessible for day-to-day life. I specialize in Acceptance and Commitment skills (ACT), a form of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT).
I have significant experience – over 18 years – working with individuals dealing with anxiety-based struggles such as perfectionism, procrastination, chronic indecision, phobias, OCD, panic, worry, and any other anxiety-related difficulties.
I've published books on ACT, given a TEDx talk with 260K+ views, founded East Bay Behavior Therapy Center, and spent two decades proving one thing: Your anxiety doesn't need fixing. It needs listening to. Because most of the time, anxiety is just trying to keep you safe, the problem is when "safe" becomes "stuck." And once you know the difference, everything changes.
My website is packed with resources, courses and content that will help you break free from those "playing-it-safe" moves and make the most out of your life!
