Burlington NLP & Personal Change Group

You know what you should do.

Drink the water.
Move your body.
Go to bed earlier.
Take care of yourself the way you take care of everyone else.

And yet, when it comes time to do it… something else takes priority.
This meetup is for the people who:

• Always show up when someone else needs them
• Feel responsible, reliable, and capable for others
• But struggle to follow through when it’s “just for me”

If you’ve ever thought:

• “I’ll do it later.”
• “Something else is more important right now.”
• “I can do it when someone’s counting on me, but not on my own.”
• “I know it matters… but I still don’t do it.”

You’re not alone. And you’re not broken.
What most people call a lack of motivation is often a pattern your nervous system learned a long time ago.
In this session, we’ll explore:

• Why caring for others can feel easier than caring for yourself
• How responsibility, pressure, and past experiences quietly shape your priorities
• Why willpower and “trying harder” don’t solve this
• What actually helps you work with your system instead of fighting it

This is not a lecture.
There’s nothing to fix.
And no one will be put on the spot.

We’ll use experiential exercises to help you notice what’s been running in the background, often without awareness.

Many people leave with a sense of relief, clarity, and self-compassion, because things finally start to make sense.

If you’re tired of blaming yourself for patterns that don’t change, and you’re curious about understanding yourself in a deeper way, this meetup is for you.

Come exactly as you are.
