The Trailblazer's Guide To College Admissions

19. The Secret to Overcoming Procrastination TODAY


Listen Later

There are a lot of false beliefs about procrastination and why we procrastinate. From the fear of failure to the pressure you put on yourself with grades or test scores, it’s important to overcome any blocks or fears popping up as you navigate the college admissions process. But to do this, you first have to believe that everything you want is totally possible for you and be willing to do whatever it takes to get there.

 

In this episode, I talk all about procrastination and how to overcome it to achieve your goals. I’ll tell you what procrastination can look like, why it’s often connected to your core fear. Plus, I’m giving my best advice on overcoming your fears, adjusting your mindset around procrastination, and how to show up and do the work so you can get what you want. 

 

What We Cover:

  • Why the antidote to procrastination is self-care
  • Why we let the fear of failure or judgment from others hold us back
  • How to let go of what you’re holding on to and adapt to the world around you
  • Delegate tasks you’re procrastinating on
  • How to find the root of your procrastination

 

”A lot of times we hold on to what's familiar instead of letting go because we're worried that the new thing that we're pursuing is too risky or too new or not safe or won't be good, but I just kind of challenge you to really examine that belief if you have it.”
