You keep delaying what matters most, even when you want to follow through.
You’ve called it laziness, poor discipline, or just "being stuck."
But what if the real issue isn’t your motivation, but how your brain works?

From dopamine loops to emotional risk and spiritual identity, we’ll unpack:
- Why you scroll even when you want to start
- How procrastination masks fear of failure, not lack of drive
- What neuroscience, human behavior, and the Bible reveal about your reset
If you’ve been frustrated with yourself lately, maybe it’s time to stop blaming your discipline and start rewiring how you move, by grace, through faith, and with God-given clarity.

🫶 If you loved the episode...
Share it with someone who keeps blaming themselves for procrastinating when deep down, they just feel stuck and overwhelmed.
Not lazy. Not unmotivated. Just wired for survival.
Maybe what they need isn’t more pressure to perform, but a reset from survival mode.
A new way to move forward that’s not driven by fear or adrenaline… but by truth, clarity, and the confidence that they were given a sound mind.
