STOP Being Busy: The Neuroscience of Why You Aren't Productive

Описание: 🚀 How to Stop Procrastinating: The Neuroscience of Performance Anxiety & The 60-Second Reset 🧠

Are you struggling with performance anxiety, perfectionism, and procrastination? In this video, we dive deep into the neuroscience of procrastination to reveal why "smart busy-work" is actually a threat response in your amygdala that hijacks your prefrontal cortex. Learn the research-backed behavioral activation protocol—the 60-second reset—to break the shame cycle, lower internal friction, and build consistent momentum without relying on willpower.

📝 TL;DR: The 60-Second Fix for Procrastination

Stop fighting your brain and start behavioral activation. Procrastination isn't laziness; it's a threat response where your amygdala seeks relief through avoidance. To break the loop, use the MVM (Minimum Viable Momentum) Protocol: a 60-second micro-move that delivers faster relief than avoidance. By focusing on starts, not finishes, you rewire your nervous system to view action as safe, effectively ending the perfectionism-procrastination cycle.
