Episode Details

In this episode, Luis explores why we often procrastinate and how procrastination is a form of freeze response.

We procrastinate, or go into freeze response, when our bodies experience overwhelm. However, rather than relating to that overwhelm, we often to to a place of judgement and shame: "Why am I so lazy?" "Why can't I get my life together?" "Why am I so irresponsible?" Luis also explores the stigma associate with rest and recuperation.

Luis shares a practice that helps us to instead stay in a place of curiosity about the procrastination by asking things like "What part of me is overwhelmed right now?" "Do I even want to do this?" or "What do I currently have the capacity for?" and how he has applied this practice in his life.
