How I Coached Myself Out of Procrastination with Cognitive Behavioral Coaching
Manage episode 518663566 series 3592607
In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how I used Cognitive Behavioral Coaching (CBC) — on myself — to stop procrastinating and start moving again.
Last year, rainy season completely derailed my workouts. I told myself I didn’t want to bike in the rain, and before I knew it, I had gone months without movement. My body felt heavy. My mood dipped. My motivation disappeared.
This year, I decided that story was not running the show again.
You’ll hear how I used the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Coaching — the same tools I use with clients — to coach myself out of resistance and into action. I’ll walk you through the simple but powerful process of identifying unhelpful thoughts, challenging the excuses that keep you stuck, and creating a plan that actually works with your brain instead of against it.
If you’ve been putting something off — a workout, a project, a conversation — this episode will give you a practical and compassionate roadmap to get moving again. You’ll learn how to connect to your deeper “why,” reframe resistance in real time, and remind yourself that motivation doesn’t come before action — it comes from action.
By the end, you’ll see that procrastination isn’t about laziness or lack of discipline — it’s about the stories you tell yourself. And when you change those stories, everything changes.
