•What is it? Procrastination is the act of delaying a task for later so as not to do it at a certain moment. This could be one's job, schoolwork or chores. Usually, a procrastinator, mostly involuntarily, pushes away the thought of having to do something for the sake of instant gratification. Instant gratification is a sense of happiness or accomplishment we get without having to work too hard. For example, watching a movie, playing games, or any activity that is easily enjoyable. Delayed gratification, on the other hand, is when you study for a test and then nail it; or gain/lose weight after months of effort. Instant gratification activities could be good for relaxation, but do not qualify as long term goals. Careers, grades and accomplishments are all results of at least some struggle, and procrastination holds many back from having these. Unfortunately, procrastination doesn't stop here. It affects the bigger things in life. Not all of your dreams have a deadline to them. Things like starting your own business, learning a new language, taking care of your health (physical or mental), visiting places, achieving your personal goals, etc will not be reinforced by your workplace or your school. No one is going to check if they have been done, except you. You could end up living with regrets and what ifs. If you admit that you are a procrastinator and are willing to try and make a difference about it, I'm glad you made that choice and I hope I can help. And if you thought of it but keep denying it, this is a sign. It's okay, happens to the best of us. Research your doubts, talk to people, and give it a thought. Identifying your problem makes it less powerful and you more prepared. @thesunandherflowerss

A random note By; Yeab T🥀 #LiteratureSaturdays @OurSideOfTheStory

No matter how your week was I'm proud of you😊🤍 You keep on fighting alright? Sleep well😴

"This letter is to you. The you that's had a rough week. The you that seems to be under constant storm clouds. The you that feels invisible. The you that doesn't know how much longer you can hold on. The you that has lost faith. The you that always blames yourself for everything that goes wrong. To you. You are incredible. You make this world a little bit more wonderful. You have so much potential and so many things left to do. You have time. Better things are coming your way, so please hang in there. You can do it." @standard_life_love @standard_life_love

crumbling under my bedsheets, holding my own hand, building an imaginary bubble around me, listening to the songs that quiet down my soul, I forgave myself. Or at least, tried to. For all the lies I've told, for the scars I'm responsible for, for the dreams I let myself lose, for the questions I answered wrong, for the books I procrastinated for months, for the chances I missed because I hesitated, for the things I backed off from doing worrying how people would perceive them and the time I wasted to please others, for the kind hearts I hurt trying to look cool, for the people I betrayed, for the self-sabotage and the plans I didn't keep up with, for the journals I stopped writing, for all my blessings I'm ungrateful for, for all the truth I didn't tell, for the sins I gave control over mind, for trying to copy other people, for pretending to like things I hate and acting like I hate the things I like, for trusting the wrong people and letting that turn me into an untrustworthy person, for ignoring red flags, for stepping over my own self respect to make other feel better about themselves and most of all, I forgave myself for breaking my own heart. And if I do end up making these mistakes again, I'll forgive myself all over again. Because as Joybell above said, that's what love is like.

TRUST IN GOD BUT NONE OTHER‼️

At the moment there are things that I need, things prominent for my survival. I want to reach out, get a hold of them but pride is holding me back.

Hope Saturday treated you well, g'night🤍

Happy Saturday☺️🤍

G'night🤍 Sending you virtual hugs🤗

I sometimes forget I'm a human being. I expect too much from myself, wanting to accomplish something that wasn't meant to be accomplished at this certain time of my life. Which resulted lack of satisfaction in everything that I do, because I always expect to do more than I already did. Yes! I do believe encouraging yourself to do more for the person you want to become tomorrow is a necessity but pressuring yourself to do more than you're able to? And risking your mental health and health in general? No❤️ Appreciate and applaud yourself for what you have accomplished. Don't let the "I could have done more" make you any less proud of how far you have come along this path! #RandomNotes @OurSideOfTheStory

Sleep well🤍
