Anxious Minds and Procrastination: Unraveling the Connection
Do you ever find yourself feeling overwhelmed and anxious, and then procrastinating on tasks that you know you should be doing? If so, you’re not alone. Anxiety and procrastination are closely linked, and understanding the connection between them can help you to better manage your anxious thoughts and Behaviours.
The Link Between Anxiety and Procrastination
Anxiety and procrastination often go hand in hand. When we feel anxious, we may be more likely to put off tasks that we know we should be doing. This is because anxiety can make us feel overwhelmed and uncertain about how to proceed. We may also be afraid of failure or of not being able to complete the task. As a result, we may procrastinate in order to avoid the anxiety that comes with tackling the task.
The Impact of Procrastination on Anxiety
Unfortunately, procrastination can actually make our anxiety worse. When we procrastinate, we may feel guilty or ashamed for not doing what we know we should be doing. This can lead to even more anxiety and a vicious cycle of procrastination and anxiety.

Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH) is a type of therapy that can help you to identify and challenge the anxious thoughts and Behaviours that are contributing to your procrastination. CBH can also help you to develop strategies for managing your anxiety and taking action on tasks that you’ve been putting off.
