Today, we’ll explore procrastination and why we do it! Procrastination teaches us how to do thirty minutes of work in eight hours. We’re unsure what to do, and if we want to do it, so we decided to think about it some more or put it off until tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes. Does this sound familiar? Let’s explore the concept of procrastination is the thief of your time and what we can do about it instead of just thinking about taking action!
6th Sense Connection Oracle Cards
I channeled the 6th Sense Connection Oracle Card deck, the very first card that appeared to me was Procrastination—so naturally, it became card number one in the deck! It was a powerful message, and I knew immediately that this was something many of us struggle with. Why do we delay, hesitate, and hold ourselves back when we know deep down that change is calling?
Here’s the truth: procrastination isn’t just about putting things off—it’s a sign that we’re standing at the threshold of transformation. But instead of stepping forward, we hesitate, tangled in uncertainty, fear, or the comfort of the familiar. The journey of 10,000 steps begins with the one right beneath your foot, but taking that first step? That’s where the real magic happens.
Sounds easier said than done, right? That’s exactly why we’re here! This article will help you uncover why you procrastinate, dive into the deeper meaning behind hesitation, and provide you with powerful steps to break free from the cycle. So, if you’re ready to move forward, embrace change, and finally get things done, let’s begin this mystical journey to overcoming procrastination!
Why Do We Procrastinate? The Spiritual & Psychological Perspective
Procrastination isn’t just about laziness or lack of discipline—it’s often a subconscious resistance to change. Here are some of the deeper reasons why we procrastinate:
Fear of Failure (or Success!) – Sometimes, we’re afraid of not being good enough, while other times, we fear that if we succeed, life will change in ways we’re not ready for.
Perfectionism Paralysis – If you feel like things have to be “just right” before you start, you may never take that first step!
Emotional Resistance – If a task feels overwhelming or emotionally draining, our mind will find ways to avoid it.
Lack of Alignment – Sometimes, procrastination is our inner wisdom nudging us to reevaluate. Is this path truly right for us?
Energetic Blocks – Just like chakras can be blocked, our motivation can be stuck due to emotional, spiritual, or environmental influences.
The key is to recognize that procrastination isn’t the enemy—it’s a messenger. Instead of fighting it, let’s decode its message and transform it into momentum.
5 Powerful Steps to Overcome Procrastination & Take Inspired Action
Ready to break the cycle? Here’s how you can shift your energy, clear resistance, and take that first step with confidence:
Acknowledge & Release the Resistance
- Instead of judging yourself, ask why you’re hesitating.
- Write down your thoughts: What’s holding me back? What am I afraid of?
- Recognizing your block is the first step to clearing it.
Start Small, but Start Now
- Don’t focus on the big picture—just commit to one small step today.
- Example: Instead of “write a book,” start with “write one sentence”.
- Action, no matter how small, breaks the cycle of inaction.

- Meditate or pull an Oracle card to gain clarity on whether this task is in alignment with your purpose.

Why We Procrastinate
Let’s examine why procrastination is holding you back and preventing you from enjoying the success you deserve. Are you stuck in fear of wondering if you have the skills to become successful? Do you procrastinate due to a lack of confidence in yourself? The only way to become confident or good at something is by rolling up your sleeves and getting on with it. Start with a few small tasks and work on doing larger things. Just do something positive for yourself as this will give you the confidence to try something else.
Why Creative People Often Procrastinate—And How to Overcome It
If you’re a creative soul, you know the struggle—your mind is bursting with brilliant ideas, yet somehow, you keep putting off actually getting started. The problem isn’t laziness or lack of ambition—it’s that there are too many possibilities! The creative brain is wired for exploration, imagination, and endless inspiration, but that same gift can make it difficult to focus on just one thing.
Sound familiar? Don’t worry—you’re not alone! The key is to turn your creativity into momentum by breaking through the decision paralysis that often comes with having too many options.
Step 1: Write It All Down—Yes, Everything!
Your mind is a whirlwind of ideas, but keeping them floating around only adds to the chaos. Grab a notebook (or your favorite app) and make a list of every creative project or idea that excites you. No need to filter or overthink—just brain-dump every possibility onto the page. Seeing your ideas in front of you is the first step to gaining clarity.
Step 2: Prioritize Like a Pro
Now, let’s bring order to the creative storm. Look at your list and highlight the ideas that excite you most. Which ones feel urgent, meaningful, or aligned with your current energy? Which ones have been sitting in your mind forever, waiting for the right moment?
Pro Tip: Don’t just choose based on what sounds fun—ask yourself:
Does this align with my bigger goals?
Will this project move me forward creatively or professionally?
Do I have the time and resources to commit to this now?
Step 3: The ‘What Could Go Right vs. What Could Go Wrong’ Method
Here’s where things get interesting! For each top idea, write its name on a piece of paper, then create two columns:
What Could Go RIGHT?
What Could Go WRONG?
As you start writing, you’ll quickly see patterns emerge. Some ideas might have tons of upside with minimal downside, making them clear winners. Others might feel exciting but overwhelming, meaning they might be better saved for later.
This method helps you:
See which ideas are worth pursuing NOW.
Identify potential obstacles and solutions.
Feel more confident about taking action.
Step 4: Take Inspired Action
Now that you’ve identified your #1 creative priority, it’s time to go for it! Start with one small, simple action—whether it’s outlining a plan, gathering materials, or setting aside time in your calendar. The hardest part is always starting, but once you do, momentum takes over!
Your Next Big Thing is Waiting—Get Started Today!
Creative people procrastinate because our minds are full of endless possibilities—but with the right approach, we can turn that energy into unstoppable momentum. So, take that first step now—write down your ideas, sort through them, and watch how quickly clarity and inspiration lead you to your next big success!
What’s the first action you’re going to take today? Let’s make it happen!
