Ever felt like your brain is whispering, 'Let's just wait, doing hard stuff is hard'? You're not alone. In this episode of Encouragementology, Kendell Boysen, a professional life and recovery coach, explores how resilience isn't about having superhero strength, but about learning to face challenges head-on, even when you'd rather be binge-watching from your comfort zone. Kendell breaks down the misconception that procrastination is laziness, revealing it as your body's clever way of dodging discomfort.
With a mix of humour and real talk, Kendell offers practical strategies to tackle procrastination and build resilience. You'll learn about the tug-of-war between resilience and procrastination, and how to let resilience win by starting with small, manageable steps. Kendell introduces a fun way to identify your procrastination style - whether you're a perfectionist procrastinator or an avoidant one - and encourages you to embrace 'Five Imperfect Minutes' to get things rolling.
The episode dives into the emotional side of procrastination and offers self-compassion as a tool to break the cycle of stress and guilt. Kendell’s insights are both relatable and reassuring, making you realise that overcoming procrastination is less about conquering a mountain and more about taking one small step at a time. So, if you're ready to shift from 'I can't' to 'I could try', this episode might just be the nudge you need.
