Do you ever find yourself procrastinating—not because you don’t want to take action, but because of fear, pressure, or self-doubt? Maybe you've been feeling stuck, but deep down, you want to move forward in wellness, joy, and peace. What if I told you that procrastination isn't about laziness, but about hidden lies we've unknowingly believed?
In this episode, Bonnie explores the three common lies that keep us stuck in the procrastination loop and reveals three soul care strategies—rooted in both science and scripture—that will set you free.
Learn to:
Hear God's words of affirmation to combat lies that keep you stuck
Recognize the real reasons behind procrastination and why willpower alone won’t break the cycle
Apply science-backed strategies to release guilt and move forward with ease
Shift from pressure to peace using biblical truth and soul care practices
Tune into this episode to:
Discover God's truth to combat lies to overcome procrastination
Discover how self-forgiveness can lower procrastination by 20–30%
Learn why breaking tasks into small, soul-nourishing steps helps you gain momentum
Unlock the power of motivation by connecting with your God-given “why”
Key Takeaways:
- Replace 3 lies with 3 truths from God's word to break procrastination
- Procrastination isn’t about time management—it’s rooted in fear, pressure, and overwhelm.
- Self-forgiveness reduces procrastination and helps you break free from guilt and shame.
- Small, actionable steps help transform overwhelming tasks into manageable, joyful moments.
