Strategies to overcome procrastination:

---------------------------------------------------------------

1. Concentrate on forming habits by taking small steps forward everyday.

-- for example ; if you want to finish a 500 page book. Start by reading 10 pages daily, not 100 pages daily.


2. Just start working

--Force yourself to start and to make the first step. The hardest step is always the first step. Once you take the first step you forget about procrastination and the job gets done.


3. Consider your energy levels

--Take regular breaks throughout the day (walk, stretch, eat, water, nap, etc.). Find your peak productive hours and push yourself. When your energy is getting low take those breaks.


4. Find ways to have more energy

--Get enough rest (7 – 8 hours), eat a healthy diet, exercise a few times a week, drink enough water, etc. Low energy typically leads to procrastination.


5. Overcome the fear of failure

--The fear of failure can lead to procrastination. Don't be afraid of failures. Learn from them and thrive.


6. Make sure perfectionism isn't holding you back

--Trying to get it perfect will lead to procrastination, and understanding that nothing will ever be perfect will help you beat procrastination. By breaking the habit you will go to places you would have never imagined before.


7. Create a to-do list

--Lists will help you feel like you're doing something, and crossing something off as "DONE" will keep you motivated. Making a list will reduce the risk that you forget to do something.

the best type of relationships are when yesterdays disagreement doesn't stop today's communication

i’ve never encouraged false positivity.
be sad when you’re sad, cry if you must, be angry if you are. let it out. then let it go, honor your emotions, but always choose to dwell the positive ones

Maybe you don't need a new relationship. Maybe what you need is, to put a little moretime and love into the one you already have i.e yourself.

show empathy and kindness for no reason. be a good person for no reason. smile and laugh for no reason. flaunt the kind parts of you. make someone smile for no reason. the world needs your random kind gestures, the world needs people who love deeply despite their broken hearts.

Now I have to remember you for longer than I have known you

slow down for a while. be patient with yourself. you are going in the right direction. you are growing, you are evolving. your presence is beautiful. making yourself happy is a sign of your progress. it's okay to be in this moment rather than torturing yourself to find your great purpose. stop overthinking

It's never too late to start over. Life is a series of chapters, & every day presents a new opportunity to turn the pg. Starting over doesn't mean erasing the past; it means learning from it, drawing strength from experiences, & using them as stepping stones to a new beginning

wasn't active for past the few weeks. whats up w/ the ceo of telegram? will it affect this app as well?

imagine coming back to internet after a few weeks just to find out that your channel doesn't exist anymore!

someone who is truly right for u will go to great lengths to be with u, putting in the effort & showing their commitment. They won’t use obstacles as excuses to avoid being with u. Instead of hiding or making excuses, they’ll face difficulties to build a relationship w/ u

It's not fair to accuse someone of having trust issues if you've given them reasons to doubt you, especially if you've lied to them before. Trust is built on honesty, and without it, doubt and mistrust are natural responses.

Some people don't really love you. They are around just because they like what you do for them. They like that you're always there, making them feel safe, listening to them, and being dependable when things get tough.

you ever been so disappointed in someone that you forgive them & don't say anything, but in your head you detach yourself from them completely

The day you find yourself, you will realise that lovers are not meant to take you on a journey but walk alongside you, they're not meant to fulfil you but appreciate how complete you are in yourself. Lovers are not meant to break your heart each day, and they're not meant to make you feel unworthy or unloved. The day you find yourself, you will realise how incredibly magnificent you are imperfect, yes, but - filled with so much goodness and light that you will strive to be even better each day. The day you find yourself will be the most beautiful day, because after that, you will never accept less than what you deserve.

I don't remember falling in love with you. I just remember holding your hand realising how much it would hurt when I have to let it go.

at this point it shouldn't matter who is against you and who is with you, you've already wasted enough time building permanent places in your heart for temporary people, call it being choosy but pls don't allow negative & selfish people to let in, you only allow genuineness and authenticity

pain romanticized is still pain. it doesn't hurt any less. not all scars are beautiful. not all wounds heal. sometimes when you are left with no choice, you move, you crawl, you scream, but you don't turn around. you do not have to be the one who stays back in the empty house. you might as well be the one who burns it to ashes & never look back.

Most people aren't worth your time. But you're a lover. A believer. Someone who naturally cares. It's in your blood. In your soul. Looking for a way out. For a way to touch other people's lives. To try to save them. No matter how they treat you. You care too much. Love too much. Feel too much. And that's okay. But that's how you end up getting hurt. That's how you end up disappointed. But that's you. & one day, it'll all make sense. One day, you'll understand why you are the way you are.
