Making Things Happen

One of the greatest problems that I (and many of you) face in life is the inability to stay productive. I procrastinate like a pro and It gets worse with time. But I always try to get it all done right before the deadline too. Every time I will tell myself ,"You are not gonna waste time this time" "You're gonna be super productive", but to my dismay, I will find myself falling into my lazy old habits again.

And it's worse when I get a holiday or a vacation and I decide to be very creative and finally develop my skills or do more DIY or learn cooking...since there's no deadline or anything and the days will roll by leaving me still the same old person without a bit of improvement or change. I will regret like anything about the long gone precious time I could have used so well.

Being productive is very important because of the fact that it will help you improve, prioritize tasks, get your things done, make you feel happy, and motivates you to do further more and I am sure all of you have experienced this at some point of time.

Maybe you need not need any tips or advice to practice being productive and have already mastered the art of getting things done. Well good for you then!(I envy you) But if you are a lazy pig like me who needs extra self-motivation or a push to do something then you probably should continue reading!

I have a dear friend of mine who gets all the work done and enjoy his time only after the works are over. He is so determined and productive so that nothing would stop him from completing his tasks. And finally I would find him enjoying the benefits that he got himself by being productive.

This has inspired me to fiercely jump into a task, but my lazy mind would get stuck somewhere in the middle of the race and it would take a while to be on track and I really hate this. I have many other friends who has inspired me in this way. And I guess its just the way different people are disciplined or habituated. Some are naturally lazy ( like me lol!*winks*) and some are super determined.

I finally tumbled upon a cool idea to push myself to be productive and get my works done. I found this on the internet a few days back and its actually working for me now. Its really simple and creative and thus it caught my eye right at the moment I saw this tip and I was like, "It should definitely help me" and then I used it and I can't believe that some of the things that needed to be done were not even actually a difficult task and all you have to do is to push your lazy self into it and just do it!!

Without further ado, here's steps to be done...Really simple and yet helpful. Its more like a creatively complicated to-do-list that you cross after its done.

#1.Make a list of all the things that you need to do daily. Make sure that it does not include really simple things and includes the tasks that will actually provide you some benefit.

#2.After you are clear about the things to be done, now take a plain book and create a plan like shown below in the picture. I prefer books because it could be used to draw more plans when the first one has timed out.

#3.You can be creative and do whatever in it to make it beautiful and interesting for you.

#4.Keep this on your desk or somewhere so that it would catch your attention and mentally note that you have a plan written that needs to be crossed off once you get things done.

#5.After doing each task just check or draw cross against the tasks written.

#6.At the end of the day make sure that all the task are crossed and you won't believe the immense happiness you would feel at that moment.

The above is actually my productivity tracker and this is a redo because my original one (which was done on a paper) got tampered and it cannot be further used. You could either do like this or add more decorations or make it really simple. The point is, it should have all the major tasks written on it and make sure you get it done as much as you can (Ignore the blank circles that needs to be crossed!! I couldn't complete them due to lack of time or my presence at the right place).

Getting things done would become so much fun for you because:
1) You actually have a productivity tracker.
2) The creativity involved in making it and seeing it would ignite your energy.
3) A sense of accomplishment succeeding it after its done, will become a bigger motivation for you to move forward.


I bet all the creative folks out there are excited to do this tip and if you are, I advice you to start doing it as soon as possible because the time is slipping away, grab it before its gone forever. Stay productive with the help of this tracker and I am sure you'll never have to regret again for being lazy.

Stay productive ya'all!! Much love!!

A Fun Way To Create Self Love

We all have dealt with low self esteem and aversion towards ourselves in our life. It could be because we feel that we are not good enough or because we believe that other  people have it better than us, heck!! it could be anything! Being negative about oneself is really easy actually! But being positive about oneself even when there's a lot of bad situations going on...well, that would require a lot of self love and confidence!

Self love does not mean being egoistic or self centered, it means that we know ourselves much better than anyone else so that we would never allow any external energy to bring that image down. We know what we deserve and we create our inner positive world. Its like knowing oneself and loving for what one is in this life.

Being a person who have struggled through low self esteem and finally tackled it, I really know how hard it is to love oneself when you have so much negative thoughts in your mind about yourself. Its really difficult especially since there are a lot many people out there that constantly brings you down and our poor mind starts to believe every negative comments that we get.

I have learnt that what we think and what we perceive is all our own faults! Its all in your mind...I repeat...ITS ALL IN YOUR MIND!!

We think a lot daily...and what thoughts that consume our mind most would determine what kind of attitude we have. If your feed your mind with positivity, you would have a positive attitude and if its the negative comments and feelings that we focus on, then we are doomed with a negative attitude. And by this I mean a negative feeling towards oneself and this is enough to destroy your happiness!

So how to stop this is and start loving yourself? The answer is really simple...just start believing that you are worthy and you are nothing less than anyone in this world! Just start believing in yourself and tell yourself everyday that you are worthy of your love and you yourself deserves your love more than anyone else.

And when you start believing this..that's when the magic happens! You will start feeling right..you will stop worrying..you will feel so good about yourself that no negativity surrounding you would affect your mind and that's the power of affirmations!

Your vibe attract your tribe. When you feel positive, you'd start to attract postive people into your life too and that's a really great development because your positive vibes would always be maintained with the company of your positive tribe!

Easy as it may seem, it could be impossible for many who starts doing it. And this uneasiness could be tackled by one fun activity. Read below for the fun tip:

#Creating An Affirmation Jar

Affirmations helps you to think more positively about yourself and its a really easy way to build up positive mind and soul. Speaking to yourself about how good you are and how blessed you are is actually the gist of affirmations. But if you could write it all down and read it aloud daily, it could be more fun and effective.

The pictures shown above and below are of my affirmation cup (I thought the cup was enough for putting them) and I keep it on my table so that I would always see it. I take cards out whenever I feel like and would definitely lift me up.

 So all you gotta do is to write some affirmations in a colored paper or any paper of your choice. Make sure that the papers are thick enough so that it wouldn't tear in the long run and also it should be of the size of a visiting card.

Then write down affirmations such as "I am confident in myself and my abilities" "Today is my best day" "My inner world and outer world is both beautiful" etc. You can google certain affirmations or make yourself some and write about 50 of it at least.

And put this all in a jar or a cup or anything you prefer. You could write more later and make your affirmations jar full.

Every morning after waking up, pick two or three of your affirmation cards from the jar randomly and say it aloud to yourself. Do this everyday and you would feel that the affirmations are actually true. This would increase your positive energy which would eventually make your life better.

In this way you have to talk to yourself lovingly everyday and this is the only way to create self love and trust me, when you start loving yourself better, nothing would bring you down. You will start feeling confidence and do better.

You would no longer get hurt easily by anyone's negative comment. You would not allow yourself to think badly of yourself again. And you will start to protect your soul from every bad vibes because you know that you are bad-ass person getting your together!

You will feel more beautiful and wouldn't want anyone else's appreciation to feel good about yourself! You as a whole is enough for you to feel happy and conquer this world and all you have to do is to start believing it!

So follow this tip if you are really serious about feeling good and making your life better. It's really worth it! Stay happy ya'all!!! And always remember..you are worthy and you are loved!
