You ever stare at the thing you say you want to do... and still avoid it?It’s not laziness.It’s not lack of time.It’s not even fear.

It’s an identity conflict.

In this episode of Daily Power Boost, we dismantle the myth of procrastination and uncover the deeper truth:You’re not avoiding the task, you’re avoiding who you think you aren’t yet.

We’ll cover:

* Why your nervous system delays action to protect an outdated self-concept

* How to spot the identity that’s silently running the show

* And what it takes to align your actions with your true self, not your protective patterns

Because if your task doesn’t match your identity… you won’t finish it.Not because you’re broken.But because your brain is loyal to your current self-story.

Let’s rewrite that.

✦ Reflection Prompts

* What identity am I still unconsciously protecting?

* What version of myself needs to be retired?

* Where am I asking for motivation instead of crafting alignment?

* What actions feel unsafe, not because of the task, but because of who I believe I am?

✦ Action Steps
