Then the timer goes off and you are now into the project and set it for another 15. Music definitely helps!

worrying about what others think is wasted energy. being you is beautiful

I am so glad you took the step up. I don't have childhood trauma, I have developed this deregulation paralysis, loss of executive function over the past 3.5 years from grief, carer burnout. My little bother, Mother and Father all dying, plus other stuff. Going from a high functioning person to the extreme opposite. You made me laugh today, I thought is she here somewhere as you describe me to a tee. All the time I spend frozen and procrastinating I could have done all the things I'm avoiding. As I was watching, I got up and started clearing up, my problem is that when I do get energy I get distracted and start a side quest and end up with a bigger mess as I am sure so does everyone else. Anyway your delivery I really resonate with. You're a star. I will make my way through your links and episodes (whilst doing stuff) because I always feel positive after watching. Thank you.

I’ve always found that doing things for myself (and the procrastination associated with those things) comes from my lack of self-worth. It’s difficult to do things for yourself when you don’t feel worthy. Doing things for others: easy. I’ve always been too much of a giver. But doing things for myself…. For me, the thing that has really helped has been to imagine ‘little me’, telling myself that “we are worthy”, whenever I need to do anything. I’m not just doing it for me. I do it for both of us; and that’s makes it a little easier. I’m doing it for that little girl who had so many hopes and dreams that I was never able to follow though with.

When the algorithm works, it's a beautiful thing. I needed to hear this right now🙏 Keep spreading this message.

Like feeling the need to vacuum the entire house when what I know I should be doing is recording and editing my first KZread video. I've been preparing, studying, and thinking I want to do this for months. Thinking, "I can do it!" but then this weird hesitation kicks in and I really need to clean something, or go outside and work in the garden. What IS that? Sigh. The struggle is real.

I live in florida and I definitely feel like being outside was used as punishment when I was younger. This makes sense to me now because whenever people talk about going out in nature being relaxing i literally panic

Here's what I did: I made a poster board of post-it notes, one per task - just getting all the tasks out of ny head made a huge difference. Next, I chose no more than 3 items per day. Sometimes 1 was enough, sometimes the task was taking an item and breaking it into smaller tasks! (And I counted the tab as done!) Through this method, I got over 300 must-do items done in 6 months! Then I "fell off the wagon." I think an important step in any organizational system is an easy way to get back on the wagon. I'm trying to start my list again, but it's hard. I think planning a "get back on the wagon" system is an important piece too.

A Very Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms out there. I love this, channel but it's difficult relating to this topic too completely. But putting off this video on procrastination is actually funny. I've learned to laugh with myself. (Not at...) Thanks Doc. You're exactly what I need. Amd I'm grateful. ❤ A fan from Canada.

It really upsets me to know that you gave up so many dreams for the exact reasons that you're helping me through daily - I really want you to know how important your work has been in even getting me out of bed - I'm leaving the house for the second time today and I wouldn't be if i didn't understand my dysregulated emotional patterns just a little better then i did yesterday, and the day before - thank you for being so open and vulnerable with your personal experiences it's so easy to see myself in the letters you read and the experiences you share, and I truly hope you manage to reclaim ALL AND ANY creative power that may have been relinquished on your journey - I want to see your movie! Please make a video directing us to some of your personal endeavours, I'd love to read your book as well!! And sabotage.... ouch. I truly believe in being there for everyone and supporting the community talent pool so when people sabotage and compete it hurts me to my core... I think it's more of a reliving of trauma then anything elseI've had similar experiences, but I've always been able to create boundaries surrounding that particular subject and I'm sorry you didn't feel you had a voice. Your voice is globally powerful and you save lives - thank you.

For many of us, we don’t strive to do big things, we work to survive. The striving can cause mental problems that complicate CPTSD. It’s constant hustle and comparing yourself to others that’s produces more difficulties.

I'm glad you published your book. :) Be proud of that.

Hi. When you began to talk in this video, I felt as if you were describing me to the T. I felt as if I was the only one. I felt as if you have watched me all my life and telling my story. Of course I'm not the only one. There are millions of people just like you and I in this situation. I appreciate you talking about this and helping us find solutions to our problems. Also, as you began to describe the symptom, it was very overwhelming and exhausting. Even though I'm trying to help myself, feels as if whatever little or a lot I do to help myself sometime feels as if I have made no progress because the problem still there. The way I cope is by taking baby steps and not look back. Only look forward. The image came to me of a horse that has those things on the side of their eyes to help it look forward. Lol, funny but true I have to stay focused. Not easy, but doable. Thank you for helping us. One day very soon, I hope I can help others in whichever area they need help.

This is why it’s best not to tell others when you’re starting something new. There will always be jealous people and saboteurs.

I'm so glad you talked about crashes. I've become more and more aware of it, but had no idea how to put it into words or how to describe it to someone. I had a very traumatic experience recently with a sibling and it really threw me for a loop for days/weeks. I truly felt traumatized. It was hard to stop thinking about it or know how to process it. It still bothers me, but I'm somewhat better. Your teaching on these things helps me understand why it's so hard for me to not internalize that kind of experience.

This insightful video sheds light on how childhood trauma can manifest as procrastination, a crucial revelation for personal development. 👏 Embracing small, consistent actions can effectively break this cycle, enhancing personal productivity.

I am suffering tremendously from procrastination. I literally have not been able to make myself move forward with work because I'm suffering again from a physical injury which brings up all the other painful stuff in my life.

For the longest I called it laziness until you saw how badly it was affecting my life but it felt like I couldn’t do anything about it. I procrastinate with almost everything and say oh I like doing things last minute because it gives me a rush and then I get it done fast but then I would get upset at myself when things took longer than expected (ie homework, work assignments, etc). I just found out I have CPRSD and paralysis is the worst

OMG I really, REALLY love these longer compilation videos. They're awesome because we get to hear related information but presented at different times and in different ways. OMG by the time I reached the 3rd segment, with Anna in a white shirt, I was so clicking with EVERYTHING she was sharing!! My heart relaxed and I was able to find such a gentle, compassionate attitude towards younger me.....the me from 30 years ago. I remember in my mid 20s getting a job and feeling like it was so wrong for me because I wasn't happy. My brother, also my boss, said "You don't know what you're talking about. This is a great industry, oil and gas, and you don't know enough about it to judge it. So you need to commit for 5 years then make a judgement." SO I did and found ways to force myself to do a job I hated. It was ONLY when I refused to go on without anymore until I HONORED my own deeply held desires that I found a better path for me, computers. BUT I STILL struggle with this path because it too has some very negative aspects for me. This video helps me feel like I'm not so bad for feeling the way I'm feeling and that I have found ways to take care of my needs while also finding work. I've been crashing for 8 years over and over again and living off of savings. It's unsustainable but I'm now turning 57 and terrified that it'll continue but I keep trying yet again to find work that I can do, sustain and feel energized and passionate about because everywhere I look, it's just more of the same. Disgruntled people, working in businesses, suppressing others, only in it for the money, stress and more stress and "We're running a business here not a daycare" kind of mentality.....just many bosses upon bosses that are like Anna's old boss that suppressed her writing and I can't help but think "NO!" and then get down because that's the majority of what I see when imagining going back to work because it's such a common issue. And then my brothers voice comes crashing back in saying "You don't have to like work. It's work afterall. Most people hate their jobs. Doesn't matter....get up and do it anyways" and I just think....."No I can't" and that's a crash then I start the cycle all over again. Ugh I want to be free from this but not sure how and where to start....it all seems so damned complex, complicated and confusing.

There is always something pulling me back or down when there is something i want to do...just doing dishes or work on the car....etc...

I really enjoy all of your videos! I like your voice and style. You should be proud of yourself. You help me to do just that. Keep up with your passion.

OMG I am 47 years old. I do not believe in social media. I barely believe in self-help books because of my experience and I have adjust got through praying prior to accidentally finding this in. This is a miracle. This has been my whole life. This has almost destroyed my life. I am done found it oh my God.

From Madrid ( Spain) You are a live savior. Uso mi idioma : entre lágrimas: Gracias.

Im the opposite. No one took care of me so im stressed about everything. I even make sure the birds, squirrels and raccoons that visit my backyard want for not. I'll have to convince myself to skip a workout if my back hurts. I think procrastination happens when we have filled our lives with stuff we don't want to do. There's never an end to the bs, so why bother? We have to reward ourselves after we work hard. We need something to look forward to.

Exactly! I have a very healthy and strict daily routine that I have been increasingly realizing is causing more stress than relief most days. Trying to find a balance between positive actions and learn the ability to relax, something I have NEVER been able to do as there is always something else on the to do list and I have 'failed' if I don't get it all accomplished. And yes, the birds, raccoons, possums and whatever other critters want to visit ALWAYS have food and water available...I really get it. And it is soooooooo difficult to function in a typical 9 to 5 corporate job, can not keep a stable momentum. Thank you Anna for so much, including saying so many absolutely right on target CPTSD realities that I have never been able to articulate.

I think this is it. I think procrastination is the psychological trauma that gets developed in the psyche when our boundaries have been crossed too many times in terms of what to do. It feels like we have no say in what we are being asked off and that creates anxiety.

You described my life right now❤

You are truly so very gifted at what you do. Thank you so much for this video. Your videos are the only things helping me truly understand why I behave as I do. I feel extremely stuck despite heing told how smart I am. I am going to watch this video over and over again let the information solidify in my mind. Could you *please* do a video on how to actually organize yourself with a schedule to create routine? Everything is so messy, cluttered and chaotic, inside and out, without organization. It's overwhelming.

So basically it's from Fight or Flight to Freeze to partly / complete Shutdown...

I VE BEEN TO 3 THERAPISTS WHO WHEN AFTER ASKING ME WHY I WAS TAKING MY MEDICAIN VATION I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH PTSD 20 YRS AGO. 4THERAPISTS, 2 PSYCHOLGISTS AND A PSYCHIATRIST WALKED ME TO THE DOOR! THIS ALWAYS HAPPENED WHEN I NEDED SOMEONE TO TALK TO -- FOR INSTANCE I WAS BADLY TRIGGERED WHEN MY BROTHER PASSED SUDDENLY AFTER SPENDING 38 DAYS IN INTENSIVE CARE AT MAYO WHCH IS DOWN TH STREET AND NEITHER HIS WIFE NOR SON TOLD ME UNTIL 2 WKS AFTER HE PASSED - I CANT FORGIVE THEM....WHEN I AKED IF HE EVEN ASKED FOR ME, SHE SAID "NO".....HE WAS MY ONLY HELP AND SUPPOR I HAD,,,,,

I can really relate to Jacob! Big hugs Jacob.❤

This is exactly where I am at right now and the first video of yours I’ve seen and I just want to say truly… thank you. Thank you. You are amazing and it’s really liberating to know there is a reason I am like this. I feel heard finally without having to say or do anything.

Yes! You nailed it! Thank you!!❤️

Glad to have found this as I've noticed since having Long Covid Vaxx( but not entirely z) increased procrastinating! Helping me figure it out and gently start..blessings

Thank you so much. I really needed this today.

I wasn’t abused and had an amazing childhood but I’m a master procrastinator. I get things I don’t want to do done fast and well before dead lines.

0:36 .....and then I made it stop. And I started bawling at you saying this. There's an answer!?!?! 😭😭😭😭😭 Pushing through for you doing these videos makes you happy.... Could it be there's something IN us that doesn't want ourselves to be happy? Maybe we feel guilty for being happy?

I completely felt this video! My whole life story. Thank you

Thank you for allowing Truth to speak through you; it sets me free and keeps me on my path.

Well, thank you. I really really needed hear this. You just described so much of what I’ve been going through for the last few years now I understand why. It’s also very helpful just to listen to other comments. Thank you so much.

thank you for this. I needed to hear this. I can’t elaborate on my trauma right now cuz it still feels ongoing but I am just grateful that I’m not alone n that we have a wonderful human like yourself giving us these resources. Thank you again. Have a blessed day.

Happy Mother’s day 🙏🏼🧿💕

Thank you for this. It's all so true.

-Working very hard on my mindfulness and it's starting to kick in. I'm recognizing when my ego is taking over and I'm thinking irrationally and from all fears I avoided everything that caused me any frustration because I felt like I just couldn't take it. It hit me like a ton of bricks one day that IF something bad is coming down the pike that I cannot handle but it's not here now, why not enjoy this moment? why waste a moment of happiness when eventually sadness is coming. I'm suffering for something twice this way. I understand what suffering means now and I choose not to as much as possible. Thank you so much for helping me find my way. Peace.
