“I Know What to Do, But I Don’t Do It” –The Hidden Cost of Being a Dysregulated Adult

You’ve got the knowledge. The Pinterest boards. The saved Reels. So why can’t you stick to any of it?

😩 What Dysregulation Looks Like IRL

• You hyperfocus on work and forget to eat

• You’re too overwhelmed to cook, so you skip meals—then binge later

• You want to exercise, but the thought of getting ready drains you

• You feel guilty resting, but too tired to be productive

• You plan your meals, but order a takeaway anyway because your brain just says “nope”

It’s not a motivation issue.It’s your nervous system saying “not safe.”

🧩 So What Does Help?

Let’s stop pretending a new planner, a motivational quote, or a willpower pep talk will fix it.

Here’s what actually works:

• Nervous system regulation tools (the kind I teach in my THRV framework)

• Flexible structure instead of rigid plans

• Planning for your lowest-energy self—not your ideal fantasy self

• Doing the bare minimum, consistently

Because when your system feels safe, your actions become sustainable.

💬 Final Thoughts

If you’ve been stuck in this cycle of “knowing but not doing,”If you’re tired of feeling like a failure because life feels like too much,If you’ve blamed yourself for years for something that’s actually biological…

You’re not broken.You’re dysregulated. And that can be changed.
