Today, I want to look into something wildly counterintuitive: Why You Need Procrastination to Get Better . Yeah, you heard that right—procrastination, that thing we’ve all been told is the enemy of progress, might just be your secret weapon for growth, creativity, and even success.  Now, we’ve all heard the usual spiel: “Stop procrastinating! Get organized! Do it now!” But what if I told you that putting things off—yes, deliberately delaying—can actually make you better at what you do? I know, it sounds crazy, but stick with me. Today, I’m going to share three surprising ways procrastination can be a game-changer: it sparks creativity, it sharpens decision-making, and it builds resilience. By the way if know nothing about procrastination read this: Overcoming Procrastination Point 1: Procrastination Sparks Creativity First up, let’s talk about creativity. You know that moment when you’re staring at a blank page or a looming deadline, and instead of diving in, you… scroll through ...

No matter what challenges you’re facing right now, believing in your own strength can be the spark that keeps you moving forward. Let me start with a simple truth: belief shapes reality . Think about it—every great achievement, every breakthrough, every story of someone overcoming the odds starts with one thing: they believed it was possible. From athletes breaking world records to entrepreneurs building empires, belief is the invisible force that turns dreams into reality. But what is it about belief that makes it so powerful? And how can we harness it in our own lives, especially when the going gets tough? First, let’s ground this in some science. Your brain is an incredible machine, and belief acts like a filter for how it processes the world. Psychologists call this the self-fulfilling prophecy . When you believe you can do something, your brain starts looking for ways to make it happen. It’s not magic—it’s neurology. For example, studies on athletes show that those who visualize s...

You can’t control the storm, but you can control how you sail through it. Stay ready. This was a post I made recently on X, and it speaks directly to resilience and intentionality — the powerful combination that determines how you navigate those trying times when life feels like an endless bombardment of chaos and uneasiness. Let’s face it: this is life. You are bound to encounter some piece of the ugly nature of reality, one way or another — whether it's in business, personal finances, relationships, health, or some other unexpected area. No one is exempt. It doesn't really matter how good your intentions are or how pure your heart may be; the hard truth remains — life can be crushing. Life can make you feel as though you are clothed in helplessness, like you are being served on a platter to be devoured by circumstances beyond your control. But here’s the ironic beauty of it all: that is the nature of nature itself. That chaos, that unpredictability — it is part of the design....

You know those moments when your brain throws up a big ol’ stop sign, whispering, “You can’t do this,” or “You’re gonna mess it up”? Yeah, those mental walls can feel like they’re made of steel, but here’s the truth—they’re not unbreakable. Today, we’re going to unpack what these barriers are, why they show up, and—most importantly—how to bust through them with practical, relatable strategies.  Alright, let’s start with the basics: what are psychological barriers? Imagine you’re standing at the edge of something new—maybe it’s asking for a raise, starting a creative project, or even just trying to make a new friend. You feel that spark of excitement, but then—BAM—your mind hits you with a wave of doubt. “What if I fail?” “What if they laugh?” “Who do I think I am?” That, my friends, is a psychological barrier. It’s like your brain’s overzealous security guard, trying to protect you from risk but sometimes locking you out of your own potential. These barriers come from all sorts of...

Today, I am tackling a topic that I know hits home for a lot of us— overcoming procrastination . You know that feeling, right? When you’ve got a deadline looming, a dream you’re chasing, or even just a sink full of dishes, but somehow you’re scrolling through your phone or reorganizing your sock drawer instead? Yeah, we’ve all been there. I’m going to dive deep into why we procrastinate, how it’s tied to our past experiences, and—most importantly—how we can start breaking free from it. Hopefully, it resonates with you. So, let’s break it down and get into it. What’s Really Behind Procrastination? Procrastination isn’t just about being “lazy” or “unmotivated.” I used to think it was, but the more I’ve reflected on it, the more I’ve realized it’s deeper than that. Depending on the experiences we’ve gone through, our relationship with taking action—or avoiding it—gets shaped in unique ways. It’s like our tolerance for risk, failure, or even success adjusts based on what life’s thrown at u...

Today, I want to talk about why awareness alone isn’t enough, why deciding to act is such a critical step, and how we can make that choice with confidence. Needless to say, we've all had moments where we know something needs to change, but for some reason we never get around to do anything about it. Let me start by breaking down what this quote means. Awareness is like flipping on a light switch—you suddenly see the room clearly. Maybe you realize you’re stuck in a job that drains you, or your health habits need a serious overhaul, or there’s a social issue you care about but haven’t engaged with. That moment of clarity is powerful. It’s the what —the thing you now know. However as for action, That’s the how and the why . It’s the decision to step into the discomfort of change and do something about it. Here’s the tricky part: Awareness doesn’t automatically lead to action. It’s not like realizing you need to exercise makes you lace up your sneakers and hit the gym. There’s a gap...
