⏳ Procrastination & Expectations - with Clinical Psychologist Dr Steph Keay
In this video, you can discover why procrastination is often rooted in fear of not meeting your own expectations. This video explores how perfectionism and “all or nothing” thinking can keep people stuck, especially when achievement feels tied to identity and self-worth. This video can help viewers understand how delaying tasks can become a protective strategy — if you don’t fully try, you don’t fully fail. By recognising the emotional drivers beneath procrastination, it becomes possible to approach goals with greater flexibility, self-compassion and realistic standards.
