Stop Procrastinating

Before we begin, let's get you set up so you can get the most from this session. Find a comfortable position, either lying down or sitting in a chair with your back supported. Let your hands rest naturally, either at your sides or gently on your lap. Uncross your legs if you can. You'll be keeping your eyes open for just the first few moments, and then I'll guide you to close them when the time is right. This session uses a storytelling approach, which means I'll be guiding you through a narrative journey. The story you hear isn't just a story — it's a map for your unconscious mind. The suggestions are woven inside the imagery, and your deeper mind will absorb exactly what it needs. You don't need to analyze or try to remember anything. Just listen, and let the words do their work. If at any point you feel distracted, that's completely fine. Simply return your attention to my voice. You are always safe, always in control, and you can open your eyes at any time you choose. This session is not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment. If you are currently driving or operating machinery, please stop this recording and return to it when you are somewhere safe and still. Now, settle in. Take one easy breath. And when you're ready, let your eyes stay soft and open just a little longer, because the story is about to begin.

You know that feeling, don't you? That feeling that something is already starting to shift. [4 second pause] You can feel it right now, can't you? Something in you is already beginning to let go. [5 second pause] Your eyes are already wanting to grow heavy. [4 second pause] Part of you wants to hold on, stay alert, stay in control. [4 second pause] But another part, a wiser part, is already pulling you downward. [5 second pause] Don't let your eyes close yet. [3 second pause] Not quite yet. [4 second pause] Just notice how heavy they're becoming. [5 second pause] Notice how the light seems softer now. [4 second pause] How the sounds around you are starting to feel more distant. [5 second pause] Your body is already beginning to settle. [4 second pause] Your shoulders are already dropping just slightly. [5 second pause] And now, let your eyes close. [6 second pause] That's right. [5 second pause] Let them stay closed. [6 second pause] And just breathe. [7 second pause] Good. [6 second pause]

Let me tell you a story about a journey that begins right where you are now. [5 second pause] There is a traveler. [4 second pause] And this traveler has a path ahead of them. [5 second pause] Not a dramatic path. Not a heroic one. [4 second pause] Just a path through an ordinary landscape. [5 second pause] Some stretches of that path are wide and clear, bathed in warm light, easy to walk. [6 second pause] But there are other stretches. [4 second pause] Stretches where the path narrows. [5 second pause] Where the ground becomes uneven and the horizon disappears behind fog. [6 second pause] Where the task ahead looks enormous, or shapeless, or just... dull. [7 second pause] And the traveler knows this feeling well. [5 second pause] That strange paralysis. [4 second pause] That moment where the feet simply stop. [5 second pause] Where the mind circles and circles and the body stays perfectly, frustratingly still. [7 second pause] You know that traveler, don't you. [5 second pause] Because in a way, that traveler is you. [6 second pause] And this story is about what happens next. [8 second pause]

The traveler sits down beside the path. [5 second pause] And as they sit, the ground beneath them is soft. [4 second pause] Mossy and warm. [5 second pause] And the traveler notices something they hadn't noticed before. [6 second pause] That the very act of sitting still has made everything around them more vivid. [5 second pause] The sound of wind moving through tall grass. [5 second pause] The faint warmth of sunlight breaking through the fog in thin, golden ribbons. [6 second pause] And the traveler takes a breath. [4 second pause] A long, slow breath in. [5 second pause] And an even longer breath out. [7 second pause] And with every exhale, they sink just a little deeper into that soft earth. [6 second pause] Deeper. [6 second pause] Heavier. [7 second pause] More still. [8 second pause] Ten. [8 second pause] Sinking deeper now. [6 second pause] Nine. [8 second pause] Heavier with every number. [6 second pause] Eight. [8 second pause] Deeper still. [7 second pause] Seven. [8 second pause] All the way down. [6 second pause] Six. [8 second pause] Letting go completely. [7 second pause] Five. [8 second pause] Deeper than before. [6 second pause] Four. [8 second pause] Perfectly relaxed. [7 second pause] Three. [8 second pause] Almost there. [6 second pause] Two. [8 second pause] Nearly all the way down. [7 second pause] One. [10 second pause] Deep. [10 second pause] Completely at rest. [12 second pause]

And as the traveler rests, something remarkable begins to happen. [6 second pause] An old figure appears beside the path. [5 second pause] Not a stranger. [4 second pause] Someone familiar. [5 second pause] Someone who has walked this path many times before. [6 second pause] And the old figure sits beside the traveler and says, very quietly: [5 second pause] The freeze was never about the task. [7 second pause] The traveler looks up. [5 second pause] The freeze, the old figure says, is just a signal. [6 second pause] A signal that the mind has been trying to see the whole mountain at once. [7 second pause] But you never walk a mountain all at once. [5 second pause] You walk it one step at a time. [6 second pause] And here is what your unconscious mind now knows. [7 second pause] When a task feels too big, your mind now automatically narrows its focus to just the very next step. [6 second pause] Not the whole task. [5 second pause] Not the outcome. [6 second pause] Just the next step. [8 second pause] And when a task feels vague, your mind now finds comfort in starting before it is clear. [6 second pause] Because clarity comes through motion, not through waiting. [7 second pause] You begin, and the fog lifts as you move. [8 second pause] And when a task feels boring, your body now recognizes something deeper. [6 second pause] That boredom is not a reason to stop. [5 second pause] It is simply the texture of the path in that moment. [6 second pause] And you can walk on a textured path just as easily as a smooth one. [7 second pause] The traveler listens. [5 second pause] And something inside them shifts. [6 second pause] Like a door that has been stuck for a long time, swinging open with almost no effort at all. [8 second pause] Because your unconscious mind is now re-patterning the old response. [6 second pause] Where once there was freezing, there is now a quiet, automatic forward motion. [7 second pause] Where once there was resistance, there is now a simple, steady willingness to begin. [8 second pause] You don't need to feel motivated to start. [6 second pause] You only need to move. [7 second pause] And your body already knows how to move. [8 second pause] The freeze dissolves the moment you take one single action. [6 second pause] Any action. [5 second pause] Open a document. [4 second pause] Write one word. [4 second pause] Make one note. [5 second pause] The momentum builds itself from there. [8 second pause] And your mind now understands this at a deep, cellular level. [7 second pause] Starting is the only thing required of you. [8 second pause]

The old figure stands, and the traveler stands with them. [6 second pause] And the fog ahead begins to thin. [5 second pause] And the traveler sees, just a few steps ahead, a task waiting. [6 second pause] It is large. [4 second pause] Perhaps shapeless at the edges. [5 second pause] Perhaps not particularly exciting. [6 second pause] And the traveler notices something new. [5 second pause] There is no freeze. [7 second pause] There is just a foot, lifting. [5 second pause] And then the other. [6 second pause] And they are moving. [8 second pause] See yourself now, in the days ahead. [6 second pause] You sit down at your desk. [5 second pause] A task is in front of you. [5 second pause] It is big, or it is dull, or it is unclear. [6 second pause] And instead of freezing, you feel something quiet and steady rise up inside you. [7 second pause] A calm readiness. [5 second pause] And you begin. [6 second pause] Just like that. [8 second pause] See yourself in a meeting, or at home, or wherever that moment of overwhelm used to strike. [6 second pause] And notice how different it feels now. [7 second pause] How your body simply moves forward. [6 second pause] How the paralysis has no grip on you anymore. [8 second pause] See yourself completing things. [6 second pause] Not because they were easy. [5 second pause] But because you started. [7 second pause] And you feel the quiet satisfaction of someone who no longer waits for the perfect moment. [6 second pause] Because you know now, at the deepest level, that the perfect moment is always this one. [10 second pause]

The traveler walks on. [6 second pause] And the path is clear ahead. [5 second pause] And you begin to return now, gently and easily, to the room around you. [6 second pause] Carrying everything you've received in this journey back with you. [7 second pause] In a moment I'm going to count from one to five. [4 second pause] And with each number, you'll feel yourself becoming more alert, more refreshed, more present. [6 second pause] One. [5 second pause] Beginning to return. [4 second pause] Feeling the weight of your body in the chair or on the surface beneath you. [6 second pause] Two. [5 second pause] A little more awake now. [4 second pause] Awareness returning to your hands and feet. [6 second pause] Three. [5 second pause] Taking a deeper breath. [4 second pause] The room around you coming back into focus. [6 second pause] Four. [5 second pause] Almost fully back. [4 second pause] Feeling refreshed, clear, and calm. [6 second pause] Five. [5 second pause] Eyes open when you're ready. [4 second pause] Fully awake. [4 second pause] Fully present. [5 second pause] And ready to move. [4 second pause]

Every time you listen to this session, these changes deepen. [5 second pause] Every time you sit down to begin a task, your mind finds the next step with ease. [5 second pause] The freeze belongs to the past now. [6 second pause] It has no home in the person you are becoming. [5 second pause] You are someone who starts. [5 second pause] You are someone who moves. [5 second pause] And that is more than enough. [6 second pause] Take a moment to stretch if you need to. [4 second pause] Wiggle your fingers, roll your shoulders. [4 second pause] And whenever you're ready, go gently back into your day. [5 second pause] Well done for showing up for yourself today. [4 second pause] That matters more than you know. [5 second pause]
