Why Constant Urgency Keeps You Easy to Control

Written By Watson's Wellness Center

Urgency Is a State, Not a Fact

True urgency is rare. It belongs to real emergencies.

Constant urgency is manufactured.

It sounds like:

  • “This needs to be handled right now”

  • “If you don’t respond quickly, something will go wrong”

  • “There’s no time to think”

  • “Decide fast or miss out”

  • “Act before it’s too late”

These messages do not describe reality.
They create a physiological response.

Your nervous system reacts before your mind evaluates.

Watson's Wellness Center

I’m Elena Watson, Ed.D., an educator, leader, and life coach with more than 25 years of experience helping people grow, learn, and thrive.

I earned my doctorate in educational leadership from Walden University and a master’s in special education from the University of San Diego. My career has included serving as a director of special education, school principal, and university educator, where I guided teachers, parents, and students toward success. I also co-founded ABC4IEP LLC, an organization dedicated to supporting families and schools in navigating the special education process.

Along the way, I have continued to expand my skills with certifications in dialectic behavior therapy (DBT) skills training, neurolinguistic programming (NLP) practitioners, grief coaching, and neurodiversity coaching. These tools allow me to support people in life transitions with both practical strategies and compassionate guidance.

Today, through Watson’s Wellness Center, I bring together my background in leadership, psychology, and education to offer digital resources and coaching that empower individuals to endure, evolve, and excel.
