Tolerating Discomfort
Overview
This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions addresses procrastination by linking it to 'discomfort intolerance' and offering strategies to increase tolerance. It guides readers through mindfulness-based techniques such as non-judgmental observation, labeling emotions, and using breath to allow discomfort to pass. The resource is designed for clients seeking practical exercises to manage distressing feelings associated with tasks.
