Today, we’re exploring procrastination, the thief of time, and why it quietly drains our energy, confidence, and momentum.
Procrastination has a clever way of teaching us how to do thirty minutes of work in eight hours. We think about what we should do, wonder whether we want to do it, question if it’s the right thing, and decide to revisit it tomorrow. But tomorrow never comes.
Does that sound familiar?
Rather than simply thinking about taking action, this message invites you to understand why procrastination the thief of time appears, what it’s really trying to tell you, and how to move forward with clarity, confidence, and inspired action.
6th Sense Connection Oracle Cards: Procrastination
When I first channeled the 6th Sense Connection Oracle Cards, the very first card that came through was Procrastination. It was so powerful that it became card number one in the deck.
That wasn’t an accident.
Procrastination the thief of time shows up when we’re standing on the edge of change. Deep down, we know something is calling us forward, a new path, a decision, a shift, yet we hesitate. Not because we’re lazy, but because transformation requires movement.
Procrastination isn’t about delay.
It’s about thresholds.
The journey of ten thousand steps begins with the one beneath your feet. But that first step? That’s where most people pause.
This message helps you understand why.
Why Do We Procrastinate? The Spiritual & Psychological Perspective
Procrastination is often misunderstood. It isn’t a lack of discipline, it’s a response to inner conflict.
Here are the most common reasons procrastination the thief of time appears:
Fear of Failure… or Success
Sometimes we fear getting it wrong. Other times, we fear getting it right, because success changes things, and change feels unsafe.
Perfectionism Paralysis
When everything has to be “just right,” nothing ever begins. Waiting for perfection is one of procrastination’s favourite disguises.
Emotional Resistance
If something feels overwhelming, emotionally heavy, or draining, the mind delays it — even when the soul knows it matters.
Lack of Alignment
Sometimes procrastination is inner wisdom asking a deeper question: Is this truly aligned with me?
Just as chakras can become blocked, motivation can stall due to emotional, spiritual, or energetic resistance.
The key is this:
Procrastination the thief of time is not the enemy, it’s the messenger.
5 Powerful Steps to Overcome Procrastination & Take Inspired Action
1. Acknowledge the Resistance
Instead of judging yourself, ask:
- What am I avoiding?
- What am I afraid will happen if I start?
Awareness dissolves resistance.
2. Start Small — and Start Now
Don’t focus on the entire mountain.
Choose one step.
Instead of “write a book,” begin with one sentence.
Action, no matter how small, it breaks the cycle of inaction.
3. Use Your Intuition to Find Alignment
If resistance persists, ask yourself:
- Is this truly right for me?
- What guidance am I missing?
Meditation or pulling an Oracle card can bring clarity when logic can’t.
4. Clear Your Energy & Space
Clutter blocks momentum.
- Tidy your environment
- Use crystals like Carnelian, Citrine, or Tiger’s Eye
- Play uplifting music to shift your frequency
Movement creates motivation.
5. Call on Divine Support
You don’t have to do this alone.
Call on Archangel Metatron for focus and direction, or use affirmations such as:
- I am taking action with confidence and ease.
- I am releasing fear and move forward with clarity.
- The universe supports me at every step.
Procrastination Is the Thief of Time: But Also a Call to Power
Procrastination the thief of time is not a curse — it’s an invitation to step into your power.
Take a breath.
What is one small action you can take right now?
Do it.
Your future self is already thanking you.
Why Procrastination Stops Success
Procrastination is the thief of time because it delays action, drains confidence, and stalls momentum, and the only way forward is through intentional, small steps.
Procrastination keeps success just out of reach because confidence is built through action, not thought.
If you’re waiting to feel ready, confident, or skilled enough, you’ll wait forever.
The only way to grow confidence is to begin.
Why Creative People Procrastinate (and How to Overcome It)
Creative minds overflow with ideas, and that abundance can create paralysis.
When everything feels possible, choosing one thing feels impossible.
Step 1: Write Everything Down
Get ideas out of your head and onto paper.
Step 2: Prioritise What Truly Matters
Ask:
- Does this align with my bigger vision?
- Does it excite me now?
Step 3: What Could Go Right vs What Could Go Wrong
Seeing both sides clearly removes fear-based hesitation.
Step 4: Take One Inspired Action
Momentum follows movement.
Perfection Is Another Form of Procrastination
Waiting for the “perfect moment” is often procrastination in disguise.
Thomas Edison failed 999 times before inventing the light bulb, not because he was careless, but because he was committed.
Progress beats perfection every time.
When We Procrastinate
People who procrastinate often have incredible ideas and talent, but get stuck in thought instead of action. The mind games quietly drain energy, turning procrastination, the thief of time, into a far greater cost than simply beginning.
