You’re Not Lazy, You’re Overwhelmed: Nervous System Tools for Real Estate Agents
Happy Agent Co. - Real Estate Agent Podcast for Women - Hosted by Lindsay Dreyer, Real Estate Coach
Manage episode 508066765 series 3611604
If you’ve ever stared at your to-do list and thought, “Why can’t I just do the things I said I was going to do?” — this one’s for you. The truth is, you’re not lazy. You’re overwhelmed. And most of the time, it’s not about discipline or time blocking…it’s about your nervous system.
In this episode, Lindsay Dreyer breaks down how nervous system dysregulation shows up in your real estate business — from procrastination and brain fog to avoidance and endless scroll holes. You’ll learn why managing your energy matters more than managing your calendar, and how to reset so you can show up focused, creative, and calm.
Inside you’ll discover:
- The 3 nervous system states (fight/flight, freeze, regulated) and how they affect your business
- Why energy management > time management for sustainable success
- Practical, doable tools to regulate before you work (breathing, movement, white space, recovery time)
- How to stop beating yourself up for being “unmotivated” and start supporting your body instead
This episode is your permission slip to stop pushing through survival mode and start running your business from a place of calm, clarity, and power.
