Paralysis in Planning and How to Shake it Off

I’m the kind of girl who loves a good list. Are you that way too? You get your favorite pen and notebook or pop open your favorite app to itemize your to-dos to stay productive. Oh, and when it’s time to check and item or cross it off you feel like you just stepped on the podium!

If you are, then you’re in good company!

Planning and preparation are so critical when it comes to achieving anything. We can’t just wish upon a star and hope we can become the CEO of a company or lose 100 pounds. Things like that require a game plan with steps and heck, even deadlines.

But what I’ve noticed in my own experience is that all the planning and prep can actually create what feels like paralysis.

So think about this for a second...

Was there ever a time when you felt resistance or found yourself over-analyzing? Especially about things like when you’ll exercise, whether you should call your friend to meet you at the gym, or what foods you should make this week? Or maybe you found yourself procrastinating when it came time to get to the gym, prep your meals, place your grocery order, pack your gym bag, schedule an appointment with your coach, or something of the like?

That’s what I’m talking about, that there can be a paralysis in the planning. Before you know it, you’ve lost an hour when you could have been out there getting that walk in.

If you feel like you’ve been shuffling the same tasks from week to week, then check out this episode to learn:

• Probing questions to ask yourself and find out whether you're in planning paralysis.
• Three ways shake off the resistance and get in motion.
• A key pro tip that gives the introspective bunch or folks that always ask "why" some real food for thought!
