What is it and why does the body do it? It seems like the mind is telling the person to do something but one cannot get themselves to actually do it.

[Here is a video describing what is called ‘The Wall of Awful.”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo08uS904Rg) It’s really good about breaking down what it is and how you can combat it yourself. The wall of awful is the emotional barrier that grows out of repeated failure, preventing us from taking risks and initiating tasks. We just “know” if we do a certain thing, it’s going to end up a certain way, because life is hard and I never get a win, so why even try? It feels rational, but it really isn’t. We are perfectly capable, we just have a round about way of getting there, because every single time we have to break through this wall of crap blocking our way. It’s a great video (and channel) to understand exactly what this feeling is in simple terms.
