Overcoming Procrastination and Anxiety with LENS Neurofeedback
Procrastination and anxiety often go hand in hand. When you feel anxious, it's easy to put things off. But delaying tasks can make you even more anxious. It's a cycle that can be hard to break. Here’s how you can manage procrastination and anxiety, and how LENS Neurofeedback might help.
Simple Steps to Beat Procrastination
Make a List
When you have many tasks to do, it can be overwhelming. Start by writing everything down. Make a list of what you need to do at home, at work, and in other areas of your life. This helps you see everything clearly.
Prioritize Your Tasks
After making your list, decide which tasks are the most important. What needs to be done first? Tackle the urgent tasks first to feel a sense of achievement.
Break Tasks into Small Steps
Big tasks can seem scary. Break them down into smaller steps. Instead of thinking about the whole project, focus on one small part at a time. This makes it easier to start and keeps you from feeling overwhelmed.
Stay in the Present
Mindfulness means focusing on what you are doing right now. Don’t worry about past mistakes or future problems. Pay attention to the task at hand. This can help reduce anxiety and make it easier to start and finish tasks.
Find an Accountability Partner
Sometimes it’s hard to stay on track by yourself. Ask a friend or family member to check in with you about your progress. Knowing someone else cares can help you stay motivated.
How LENS Neurofeedback Can Help
LENS Neurofeedback is a type of brain training that can help with anxiety and procrastination. Here’s how it works:
Understanding LENS Neurofeedback
LENS stands for Low Energy Neurofeedback System. It’s a gentle, non-invasive way to help your brain work better. During a session sensors are placed on your scalp to measure your brainwave activity. The system then sends tiny signals to your brain. These signals help your brain reset and function more efficiently.
Benefits of LENS Neurofeedback
Reduces Anxiety: LENS can help calm your brain. When your brain is less anxious, you’re less likely to procrastinate.
Improves Focus: By training your brain, LENS can help you stay focused on tasks. This makes it easier to start and finish your work.
Enhances Mood: Many people feel happier and more relaxed after LENS sessions. A better mood can make it easier to tackle tasks and reduce procrastination.
