PROCRASTINATION

Have you ever sat down to complete an important task and then suddenly remembered you wanted to check something on IG then you go from liking(❤️) one post to the other, commenting on a nice picture 😍 and those things we do on IG or when there's a trend like the #dontleavemechallenge from one tweet to another retweet from one comedy skit to the other and pheww you are having a good time and laughing your ass out, 🤣(Lmao)  And you realise you have to do some laundry 👖 or dishes, 🍽️ and cleaning even though it's only 10am, My dears, time they say waits for no one. ( I don't know if you remember this rhyme they thought us while we were much younger) tick tick says the clock, ⏲️ what you have to do, do quick.
I bet it most people don't know how to spell PROCRASTINATION (stop lying😜 you never knew there was an 'r' before the 'a') and this is going to be our topic today.

For many people, procrastination is a strong and mysterious force that keeps them from completing the most urgent and important tasks in their lives with the same strength as when you try to bring like poles of a magnet together. 

But the reasons people procrastinate are not understood that well. Some view procrastination largely as a failure of self-control. Others say it's not a matter of being lazy or poor time management, as many smart overachievers who procrastinate often can attest. While some say it may actually be linked to how our brain works and to deeper perceptions of time and self.

☑️Awareness – Reflect on the reasons why you procrastinate, your habits and thoughts that lead to procrastinating.

 ☑️Feelings - What feelings lead to procrastinating, and how does it make you feel? Are these positive, productive feelings? do you want to change them?

☑️ Goals - Focus on what you want to do, not what you want to avoid. Think about the productive reasons for doing a task by setting positive, concrete, meaningful learning and achievement goals for yourself.

☑️ Be realistic – Achieving goals and changing habits takes time and effort; don't sabotage yourself by having unrealistic expectations that you cannot meet.

I hope this four would help you to stop procrastinating or probably have a rethink on why you should stop procrastinating.

-Eminent 💛

THE GRASS IS NOT GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE🌿🌿

 Remember when you were in secondary school and all you could think about was: ‘I will be happy when I finally graduate so I can escape this hell hole and I can finally do what I want to do with my life’. Remember?    The hallmark of the “grass is greener syndrome” is the idea that there is always something better that we are missing. So rather than experiencing stability, security, and satisfaction in the present environment, the feeling is there is more and better elsewhere, and anything less than ideal won't do.   Now let's go down memory lane remember this song by the popular musician Adekunle Gold "Ire" (Goodness) in his album ABOUT 30 the song goes like this:  [Verse 1]  The Grass Is Greener On The Other Side That’s What I Thought, Before I Took The Ride I Burned My Bridges, So I’d Never Look Back But, If I Had Known The Life I Was Searching For, Was Looking Me Right In The Eye Oh If I Had Known, The Life I Was Searching For, Was Already My Own Ire N ...

HEALTHY LIVING

     Today, we'd be taking a look at something everyone or better still everybody is familiar with and of which we obviously can't do without in a day, you’d agree with me it’s a miracle drink we all are ignoring. Wondering what it is🤷. I guess you are wrong. Today we would be talking about water and some of its benefits we all for most of us might know about and might not know about. Water is generally defined as a transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless. Its chemical formula is generally known as H₂O. In case you don't know, Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface, mostly in seas and that's just by the way. I guess an average percentage of People might not know the benefits of drinking water and this is what we would focus on today.  Studies have shown that the human body is made up of about 65-70% water and so therefore, for our body to function properly and efficiently, it must be well hydrated.            ...
