I explain what our fear of failure (and even a fear of success!) has to do with procrastination and explore other psychological issues that keep the procrastination cycle alive.

The Secret to Living a Balanced Life

Anxiety, Blog, Burnout, Depression, Purpose & Meaning, Stress, Time Management /

Psychological health and relieving stress, anxiety, and depression are all about balance.  It’s so cliche that I roll my eyes at myself when I say it to my clients. When we’re stressed, overwhelmed, or anxious, that’s an emotional cue that something is out of balance in our lives.  So we respond by shifting things around.
