Weekly Class

Procrastination 101

This transformative class is designed to get to the root of what causes our tendency to avoid taking action, feel stuck in loops, and postpone the fulfillment of our dreams, goals, and ambitions.

Together, we will use The Work of Byron Katie, a simple, yet effective method of self-inquiry to question debilitating thoughts that fuel patterns of self-sabotage and keep us from acting in favor of our highest potential.

“Procrastination is the ego's way of creating time," -Byron Katie

Why We Put Things Off...

In the beginning of a new project, we have spectacular visions of how successful we will become once it's finished. We may ride an initial high, as our plans become lofty and grandiose. But eventually a big crash follows the excitement, once we realize how much work is behind bringing an idea to fruition.

From the time it will take to the money it requires, we chip away at our dreams with thoughts that keep them further from our reach. This is the moment procrastination enters the picture. We avoid difficulty and want things to be easy, which is when we indulge in addictive behaviors. But this is not the relationship most of us desire to have with our ambitions–that's why I've created a course to address all the unintentional ways we sabotage ourselves in pursuit of fulfillment.

Course Details

Over nine weeks, we will engage in partner exercises, group activities, readings, and discussions to look at our patterns from different angles. Each of us will focus on a single project or goal for which we will identify and question thoughts that arise in relation to the resistance we feel around getting it off the ground. Although there is no expectation to track progress, change habits, or drop addictions, participants will be asked to notice what happens before, during, and after each class as we sit in this unfolding inquiry. As with any time we do The Work, we are here to feel into and become aware of what works and what doesn't.

Testimonials

“I loved this course. Procrastination seems to be at the heart of nearly everything (maybe everything) stressful (or maybe everything stressful comes with a dose of procrastination). It is fascinating to see the connection that thoughts about mother, brother, and sister, etc have on whether I procrastinate or not. I love that I see those patterns more openly, with more understanding, and honesty more and more. I am so grateful to you, Meena, for offering such a beautifully sensitive, fun, and thoughtful course to do 'The Work'. And thank you to all the participants for a wonderful first-ever 'The Work' course." - David A-C

“Exploring procrastination turned out to be a wonderfully fruitful and rewarding endeavor. If you struggle with procrastination, you’ll probably discover that it’s about so much more than simply “getting things done.” Looking honestly at what's in the way will show you parts of yourself you didn't know needed attention, and clear a path to living with more self love and integrity.
If you have a specific goal you’ve been procrastinating on and want to get unblocked, this course will help! But I actually think it’s much bigger than that. This exploration is for anyone who finds themselves feeling stuck, making excuses, avoiding, resisting, or feeling fear around moving toward what matters most. Procrastination becomes a doorway into understanding ourselves much more deeply.
The course is thoughtfully designed, and the inquiry prompts Meena created are incredibly insightful/creative. They consistently took me deeper than I expected. It’s clear this course was created by someone with a great deal of experience moving through fear, limiting beliefs, and the internal barriers that keep us from taking action on our hearts desires. I thoroughly enjoyed the nine weeks and am so glad I signed up. It was a genuinely valuable experience, and I think just about anyone could benefit from taking this course. Thank you MEENA!! <3"
