How to Overcome Procrastination and Boost Motivation: A Holistic Guide for Women Ready to Thrive
You know you need to begin, you know that it will be good for you, the new exercise routine, career move, self-care routine or relationship.
You have been meaning to make the changes for some time now, but still here you are, in the same position, thinking the same thoughts.
You tell yourself you’ll start tomorrow. Then the next day. Then the one after that. A task that once felt simple, one that you wanted to start, you were so excited about, now feels heavy, almost too big to hold.
And in the background, a familiar whisper starts to build
“Why can’t I just get on with it?”
“What’s wrong with me?”
We have probably all been here, I know I have, but here’s the truth: nothing is wrong with you.
You aren’t broken, useless or lacking drive and motivation; all of these flaws you have been telling yourself.
Procrastination is not a flaw in your character; it’s a signal from a part of you that’s feeling overwhelmed, unseen, scared, or simply tired of pushing.
As women, we carry emotional and energetic loads that rarely get acknowledged. And when those loads build up, motivation naturally begins to fade.
Not because we don’t care, but because we’ve been caring for everything and everyone for too long without tending to ourselves.
The drive that was once there fades as everything else seems more important; your needs begin to take a back seat.
You begin to feel that you are stuck, lost, lacking purpose, and there is no way out of this mire. This is where a holistic approach changes everything.
