Great course! I learned a lot about my emotions around procrastination and techniques to work through them. I also learned to forgive myself while still pushing through. Thank you for this course! It has already helped me get started on intimidating tasks. Laura

This is such an important course for me and has really helped me understand the why of procrastination, what lies behind. I really found the implementation interventions very helpful. Thank you so very much for offering this course. Namaste 🪷🙏

This course is excellent and i highly recommend it. I hadn't realised how much my issues were connected to procrastination prior to the course, particularly putting off being with unpleasant feelings. It has a wealth of content and I got a lot of insights from it and have been able to start on tasks which I'd been putting off for some time. Thank you 🙏

Excellent practice for equanimity, allowing, accepting what comes and goes without attachment or aversion, labeling etc. meeting all with loving kindness.🌞 Not being pulled or pushed by I want x or I don't want x. Thank you 🙏🏽

This was just what I needed today! Getting up feeling more centred than when I sat down for sure. Really loved the length of the pauses, the pacing and overall length and clear useful instruction, will definitely come back to sit with this again, thank you! 🙏

A fresh and helpful (for me) new take on combining awareness cultivation with Vipassana inquiry. Loved this one and will add it to my repertoire! Thanks Martijn.
