Procrastination isn’t laziness. It’s protection.”
— Lesley Logic

It’s a signal your mind has some catching up to do.

13/12/2025

Many people describe feeling “stuck” as if something is wrong with them.
But stuckness often isn’t about ability or motivation — it’s about holding two decisions at the same time.

Part of you wants to move forward…
and another part hesitates, seeks safety, or isn’t ready yet.

That inner conflict creates hesitation, procrastination, tension, and the foggy sense of not knowing where to begin.

This week’s Lesley Logic explores why the mind freezes when it doesn’t have a clear direction — and why momentum returns the moment one decision becomes just clear enough to act on.

Healing isn’t about wiping the slate clean.

It’s about looking back without flinching.
It’s remembering who you were without the pain taking centre stage.

That’s what hypnotherapy helps you do — not forget, but reframe.

When your past stops running the show, your future starts to look a whole lot brighter.

Self-worth isn’t something you ‘earn’.
It’s something you remember.

Somewhere along the line, you may have been convinced you weren’t enough.
But that story isn’t yours to carry.

Hypnotherapy helps clear out the noise — so you can hear your own voice again.
And trust what it’s saying.

The Overthinker Gremlin is relentless.

It replays conversations, analyses every possibility, and creates whole scenarios in your mind before anything has happened.

It says things like:
“What if they misunderstood me?”
“What if I choose the wrong option?”
“What if I make a mistake I can’t fix?”

It convinces you that thinking more will lead to clarity — but all it leads to is mental exhaustion.
Because overthinking isn’t solving.
It’s the mind trying to feel safe by scanning for danger that isn’t actually there.

When you step back from the noise for a moment, something shifts.
Your breathing slows.
Your thoughts soften.
And your real clarity or understanding — the kind that comes from calm rather than fear — begins to appear.

At Phoenix Hypnotherapy in Cheltenham, Gloucester and surrounding areas, I help people recognise and quiet the Overthinker Gremlin so they can move from constant analysis to calm, confident action.

I heard a metaphor years ago that I never forgot.

Imagine you’re outside at night holding a torch.
Wherever you point the light, that’s what you see clearly.
Everything else fades into the background.

But when you feel overwhelmed, it’s as though the torch keeps swinging around on its own —
jumping from one worry to another,
one task to another,
one “should” to another.

Nothing stays in focus long enough to feel doable.

And yet, the problem isn’t the torch.
It’s the movement.

If you pause… even briefly…
the light stops shaking.
The ground in front of you becomes clear again.
You can see where to place your foot.

The same is true for your mind.

Overwhelm often comes from jumping between too many things at once —
not because you’re weak or unfocused,
but because your system is moving faster than it can comfortably handle.

When you notice the scatter and say,
“Hold on… this is where I intended to focus,”
the torch steadies.
Clarity returns.
And the next step suddenly feels manageable again.

It’s not the pressure.
It’s the pace.
And where your attention wanders when everything feels like “too much”.

Life gets busy, and when the pace picks up, something interesting happens to the mind.

It’s not always the pressure that overwhelms people —
it’s the speed they expect themselves to move at…
combined with the way their attention gets pulled in every possible direction.

You sit down to start one thing, and suddenly you’re checking something else, organising a drawer, responding to a message, or jumping between tasks without finishing any of them.

It feels like distraction.
It feels like procrastination.
But often, it’s the mind trying to protect you from something that feels uncomfortable or uncertain.

In this week’s Lesley Logic video, I explore how:

pace, scattered attention, and hidden emotional blockers
can all contribute to overwhelm — and what changes when you slow everything down enough to notice what’s really happening.

You can watch the full video below.

Overthinking is fear pretending to be logic.

Overthinking often feels like you’re solving a problem.
But really — it’s fear, disguised as logic.

Hypnotherapy helps you step out of the loop.
Less analysis. More clarity.

Because peace isn’t found in the spiral — it’s found in stillness.

You don’t need more willpower.
You need to work with the part of your mind that’s been running the show all along—your unconscious.

It’s the part that forms beliefs, triggers reactions, and holds onto outdated emotional patterns.
And it’s not trying to sabotage you—it’s trying to protect you.

Hypnotherapy speaks directly to that part.
So you can finally stop fighting yourself and start feeling free.
