Why You Procrastinate (It’s Not Laziness)

If there’s something you keep thinking about doing but you haven’t started, pause for a moment and ask yourself why.

Are you waiting to feel ready?

Are you waiting for the perfect plan, the perfect timing, or a more confident version of you to suddenly appear?

Are you waiting for permission to start...energetic or otherwise.

We have just stepped into the Lunar Year of the Fire Horse. Fire Horse energy is bold, fast moving, and freedom led. It brings passion, courage, and a strong push toward truth and change. It is not subtle energy. It does not sit around waiting for perfect conditions. It moves. It releases what is heavy and chooses what is real.  It is asking us to move forward in one direction that feels true to us.

And yet, so many of us are still hesitating.

Most people believe they need clarity before action (I have been there, I thought I needed heaps of clarity, not just a little!). They think confidence comes first, certainty comes first, and then they will move. But that moment rarely arrives. There is no such thing as feeling completely ready for the whole plan. You are never handed the entire path in one neat, comfortable package. What you are given is a starting point. An idea. A nudge that will not quite leave you alone.

That idea is not random. It is in your energy field for a reason. It may not be the final destination, but it is the doorway. You will not know where it truly leads until you begin walking. You have no ideas of the joy it will bring until you start.

And here is something we do not talk about enough. Anything you are putting off is draining you, energetically. The book you are not writing, the conversation you are not having, the offer you are not launching, the step you are not taking, even the housework you are not doing! It sits there quietly, pulling at your attention and using energy simply by existing in the background. Doing nothing is not neutral. It costs you. Not starting something is a choice in itself.

I once watched Tony Robbins work with someone who said she was “trying” to change. He asked her to try to pick up a chair. She picked it up and he said she was not trying, she was doing.  So she leaned over and just held it, again he said she was not trying she just was not doing. He finally stopped her (after annoying her hugely!) and said there is no such thing as trying. You are either doing or you are not.

It was simple and quite confronting for me in that moment.  I had been doing a lot of trying! 🤪🤪🤪

You are either moving toward the life you say you want, or you are not. There is no middle ground where progress magically happens while you wait.

This Fire Horse year will amplify whatever you choose. If you choose avoidance, you will feel the friction of that. If you choose courage, even in small ways, you will feel momentum build. You do not need a five year plan. You do not need to see the  whole path. You only need to take one step.

You do not need to be ready for everything. You only need to be ready for one small action, (and it can be tiny!) and from there the rest begins to build. Movement creates clarity. Action creates confidence. Energy shifts when you shift.

Underneath all of this is something deeper. Loving yourself enough to begin. Loving yourself enough to stop sitting in quiet frustration. Loving yourself enough to release the drain of unacted dreams and choose forward motion instead.

If you need support moving from waiting into aligned action, that is exactly why I created my tools.

My Awaken Your Light 21 day program helps you shift your energy daily so you stop circling and start embodying who you really are.

Light Language private sessions work at an energetic level, helping you release the fear and resistance that keep you paused.

Soul Realignment goes deeper, clearing old patterns so you can move forward without dragging the past behind you.

But none of it replaces your decision. Choose one small action today and take it.  It can be tiny but it will get you going.  Don't wait till you feel more confident. or when you have a better plan. Start today, right now if you can.

Then watch what begins to move.
