Stop StressLaxing: Use Turtle Steps to Master Procrastination 🐢 (Living Lucky® Podcast)

Is your brain panicking during downtime? That's StressLaxing—the guilt-fueled mashup of rest and anxiety keeping you in a doom loop.

This self-help episode gives you the mindset shifts to turn conflict into steady progress (using avoiding taxes as the perfect example!).

• Reframe Language: Call tasks a "challenge" (or privilege), not a "problem."
• Turtle Steps: Use micro moves (scanning 5 receipts) to build self-trust and momentum.
• Digital Workflow: Design a bite-sized workflow that eliminates the procrastination fantasy of the "vacation fix."

By the end, stress is a compass guiding you to action, so you can truly relax without the mental buzz.

Nuggets:

• Name the Conflict: StressLaxing is the exhausting tug of war caused by ambiguity and unmade decisions.
• The Hidden "One Thing": One nagging task (like taxes) becomes a limiting belief representing everything you avoid.
• Turtle Step Strategy: Antidote to stress is micro action. A turtle step is risk-free. The brain loves completion; tiny finishes build self-trust and make the next step easier.
• Ditch the Avoidance Fantasy: The "change of scenery" fix (doing taxes on vacation) is just more procrastination. Design a plan for your present reality.
• Stress as a Compass: Stress is a gift; it's a compass pointing toward the next honest step. Stress only gets bigger when ignored.
• Reward Progress: Pair small tasks with small rewards. This teaches your system that action leads to comfort.
• Upward Cycle Design: Build a simple two-line plan. This flips the loop for real progress and the ability to relax on purpose.
