HERE’S WHY YOU PROCRASTINATE + 6 PRACTICAL TIPS TO HELP YOU OVERCOME PROCRASTINATION It is no secret that procrastination is a huge enemy of the achievement of goals and dreams. I would know, I almost procrastinated writing and publishing this blog post. Most people do not know that they procrastinate and come up with “reasonable excuses”why things cannot be done now. Today, I share some “reasons” why you may be constantly putting off your tasks and goals. I also share some practical tips to help you overcome procrastination.i have started working on some of these tips myself and they are effective! And if you’ve lost hope in yourself in that you have given up on overcoming procrastination, remember that it is doable! Link in my bio♥️

MENTAL BREAKS I decided to take a break from it all and I have learned quite a lot of valuable lessons along the way. It’s easy to get caught up in routine and actions stemming from our almost auto-pilot lifestyles. Traffic-work-work-work-get exhausted- traffic-watch TV/Netflix- sleep- repeat. However, it is important to take a mental break every once in while and just revel in rest, tranquility and peace of mind. On the blog, I share gentle reminders of the importance of taking a mental breaks once in a while. Also, signs you need to take a break and some simple ways on how you could take one if you need to.

#currentread Starting Born on a Tuesday on a Thursday. ^. Dantala lives in Abatan Latin and studies in a Sufi Quranic school, far away from home. By chance he meets gang leader Banda, a nominal Muslim. Dantala is thrust into a world with fluid rules and casual violence. In the bloody aftermath of presidential elections he runs away and ends up living in a Salafi mosque. With a simple and practical approach to life, as he teaches himself English, Dantala slowly embraces the Salafism preached by his new benefactor, Sheikh Jamal. He falls in love with Sheikh’s beguiling daughter, Aisha, and tries to woo her without breaking the rules. All the while, Sheikh struggles to deal with growing jihadist extremism within his own ranks. Narrated in Dantala’s raw yet inquisitive voice, this astonishing debut novel explores brotherhood, religious fundamentalism and loss, and the effects of extremist politics on everyday life in contemporary Northern Nigeria. I loved Becoming Nigerian by Elnathan John so I’m eager to see if this is any good as I’ve heard good stuff about this one. If you’ve read, how was it? #elnathanjohn #bornonatuesday #books #booklover #bookaholic #bookstagram #currentread

Isn’t it absolutely amazing the life-changing lessons you can learn from a stranger? A few days ago, I learned quite a number of lessons from the very humble Mr. Imeh. As a life-lessons junkie, you can imagine my joy at soaking in his wisdom. As he took our group on a tour of the grounds, he effortlessly applied certain principles in golf to life’s lessons. I was intrigued by the way he shared simple yet profound lessons one can learn from the game of golf and life in general. Some of the lessons he shared are: 1. It doesn’t matter how long it takes to get there, getting to your final destination is all that matters. 2. Everyone has their own pace and journey in life, focus on yours. 3. Just one conversation can change your life. 4. You do not need to be overqualified to harness your gifts and talents to make a positive impact. 5. Others “moving faster” than you in different aspects of life does not invalidate your journey. Towards the end of the tour, he shared his personal experience with me and how he came to start working at what resort,which by the way, he has been working at for about 13 years. He shared of a single encounter with a stranger that taught him the importance of adding value to people’s lives; of realizing your true potential and tapping into your gifts to cause an impact, no matter how little it may seem in the world. I feel so blessed to have met Mr. Imeh and his rare wisdom. Best believe, I will continue to reflect on these life lessons and apply them to my life. P.S, he’s the one behind all the amazing photos you’ve seen of me, crazy people! #wisdom #lifechanginglessons #ibomgolfresort #mrimeh #life #lessons #impact

#bookreview Let’s talk about this juicy work of fiction for a bit! 💅🏾 I’ve been delving into a lot of fiction lately and this book was the perfect example of why I need to keep reading more fiction! This book took me on an absolute trip so immersing myself into the world the author presented was so easy. The book is about a lady, Amber Patterson who is tired of being a nobody: an invisible woman who melts into the background. She feels she deserves much more and a life of wealth, luxury and leisure. However, Daphne Parrish is the golden girl with the model looks, her picture-perfect mansion and her millionaire husband...or so it seems. Amber wants it all and her envy drives her to do crazy things to take it all. Amber’s well laid plan may end in disaster.... Juicy, unputdownable and a well- thought out story! #books #bookstagram #bookreview #bookaholic #booklover #livconstantine

If watching these beautiful yellow hibiscus flowers gently and gracefully bounce in the wind (with birds chirping in the distance) is not spiritually liberating, then I don’t know what is. #nature #beauty #hibiscus

It hit me this evening. It is pretty easy to write down 5 things I am thankful for and skip my sight as one of them. It’s easy to take for granted that I do not need any assistance to see. I am soberly, humbly and gratefully thankful for eyes that can see and behold God’s beauty everyday. If you can see and appreciate the beauty in this video, then that’s one more thing to be thankful for. #thankful #eyesthatcansee #greenery #scenery #ibomgolfresort #nature #beauty

Having the time of my life! So much greenery around me! I love this place so much! Connecting with nature has never felt better! God is so beautiful! More of my tour in my stories! P.S. I now weigh 20kg because I’ve toured round the gigantic golf course, walking for the past 1hr30mins taking in the breath taking scenery. I’m now a certified fitfam-ist. #canttellmenothing #fitfam #20kg #exhaustedbutexcited #mylegshurt #barelymakingit #ibomgolfresort #toohappy #havingtheworstcrampsever #smilingthroughitall #nature
