Ever found yourself stuck in the space between “I should do it” and “I don't want to”? That middle ground where you're not working, but not truly resting either is where guilt festers. And it's more exhausting than just doing the damn thing.

In this episode, I share a personal story from a recent weekend where I thought I was resting, but really, I was drowning in guilt. I break down what's actually going on when we delay action, why indecision is so draining, and how to use tools like the Dread Sprint and The Gritty Minute to get unstuck and feel more like yourself again.

You'll learn:

• Why rest without peace isn't rest, it's self-abandonment
  

• How to spot the energy drain of indecision
  

• What a “dread sprint” is (and why it works)
  

• The power of starting with just one gritty minute
  

• Why your identity, not your schedule is what drives follow-through
  

• Simple thought shifts to rebuild your self-trust
  
  This one is mindset gold. If you've ever said, “I don't have time,” but secretly feel more tired not doing the thing… you're going to feel seen.

You're not lazy.
You're not unmotivated.
And you definitely don't need another productivity hack that adds to your load.

If you're struggling to follow through, the real reason might be simpler and deeper than you think:

You're avoiding an emotion.

In this episode, I break down the truth most people never realise: it's not the task that's hard, it's the feeling it brings up.

And that discomfort? It usually only lasts about 90 seconds.
But most people let it stop them for 90 days… or 90 months.

What We Cover:

- The surprising reason you're avoiding your goals
- Why emotions, not laziness are the real blocker
- The science behind the 90-second emotional cycle
- How to feel a feeling and still take action
- Why “avoiding discomfort” costs you way more than feeling it ever will

This Is For You If You've Ever Said:

“I don't feel like it.”

“I'll do it later.”

“I just need to get in the right headspace.”

It's not about headspace. It's about learning how to sit with a feeling, and keep moving anyway.

Powerful Thought to Take With You:

“I can feel anything for 90 seconds”
