In this episode, Sarah and Jacob explore research about the connections between procrastination and health issues, such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension and lowered immunity. Sarah also shares four driving forces behind our procrastination habits--optimism, fear, doubt and trauma. Sarah shares strategies for becoming mindful of the cycles these driving forces cause and their consequences on your mind and body. Sarah and Jacob discuss the benefits of sitting with these cycles and using awareness and self-compassion to move you forward.
