From fear of failure to the feeling that we’re not good enough, here are some of the ways anxiety can trigger procrastination.

Anxiety is a condition where a person is constantly worried about daily activities. Some of the most common symptoms of anxiety are nausea, headache, heart palpitations, and trembling. Anxiety also forces us to postpone our tasks due to fear of failure. "It's easy to think that you're just being lazy, or struggling to manage your time well, but there's often a deeper process going on inside when you choose to procrastinate. When you are faced with a task that needs to be accomplished, you also have to confront the underlying emotions and limiting beliefs operating beneath the surface," Written by therapist Carrie Howard (Unsplash)
