What the heck is useful procrastination?

I didn’t always realise when I was doing it, but more and more as I continue to work on myself I am noticing certain patterns and behaviours that are not actually helping, when at one time, I thought they were.

Now, if I feel uncertain, I will ask, am I serving myself or am I sabotaging?

And when I take a few moments to listen for the answer, it comes.

For example, I have noticed some days before I get started on my work, all of a sudden the vacuuming needs doing or the laundry. Or perhaps I should water the garden…

You get the picture, I sabotage myself with what I call, “useful procrastination.” You know, the procrastination that gets other things done, but not the things you should be working on.

So sure, you got a lot done that day, you kept yourself busy, but when you look back on your list, you realise you barely touched the things that mattered.

So what do I do to stop “useful procrastination?”

I schedule it in.

Yep, that’s right -I add another thing on my to-do list – BUT I only add it further on down the list or later in the diary – sometimes days later, as long as it is after what I want to get done sooner.

This way, I am not stressing or worrying about the chores because they are scheduled, and I am focusing where my attention should be.

This one simple thing of scheduling the tasks that distract me changed my working day and kept me on track without keeping busy.

If you think this may be useful, and you want to learn more helpful tricks to manage your sometimes overwhelming schedule, DM me for a link to book a complimentary 60-min consultation call and we’ll figure out a plan that will help you get on track with creating a life you love without burnout!

What would it take to change your life in 31 days?

Do you think it’s possible?

I do – because I did it. And so can you.

In 2020 the first year of the pandemic – I decided to write a book and it was going to be about love. I thought at first it would be about my ongoing “failures” in romance, but then something happened. My sister died and I was stuck in the UK and my family was in Canada. I couldn’t go home to visit because of lockdown and I was devastated.

I stopped writing and I lost my creative flow. Then three weeks later, I set the intention to write – it didn’t have to be my book, just write. So after a few cups of coffee and nothing on paper I asked myself: Colinda what do you want with life and what do you want with this book?

Surprisingly, my hand flew to my journal and the following came out: I want to BE love and I want this book to spread love.

And the rest is history, as some would say – but seriously, what happened after that changed my life and I know it can change yours. I went from overwhelmed, sad, and over critical of myself – to living in ease, having complete faith in myself, a greater sense of connection and bliss.

I did this by doing 10 acts of love per day for 31 days – that’s it. And what I proved and found is that simple acts of love will not only change your world, but will change OUR world because with my Full-On Love Challenge, you create so much love in your heart it automatically pours out to others and they in turn spread love, it’s inevitable, beautiful, and perpetual.

Try implementing a few deliberate acts of love each day in your life and see what it can do. Here’s a few to try: send 3 messages of love to your friends, take at least 5 mins today to do something YOU love, and write down three things you love.

I guarantee when you start consciously adding loving actions in your day you will notice a positive difference. Give it a go and let me know in the comments how you get on today now that you are Living in Love. 🩷💚

Looking for a refuge in your hectic day?

Give this a try -

Take a few deep breaths, breathing in and out of your heart.

Now, repeat after me: I deserve peace, success, and joy.

Close your eyes, take another deep breath in and out of your heart and drop your shoulders as you exhale. Sit here for five more breaths. Next, come back to your space and open your eyes.

How do you feel? Better?

I hope so.

I know you may not believe what you repeated, but there will come a day when you do.

And if you take the 3 minutes a day to affirm your success and and joy and feel into it, you will notice your belief increasing! 

Try these other affirmations for some inspiration and know that you too have the ability to succeed without burning yourself out and that it’s okay to ask for help along the way.

Which is what one of my client’s realised. When answering the question, What was your biggest break through on our call? 

This is what she said, “Flipping my perspective from 'what could go wrong' to 'what could go right' also knowing that it is okay to reach out for help and take the pressure off of tasks.”

A life you love without stress, is possible – I know it, and I believe it all begins with self-love. If you are curious how, DM me. 💚

 

Let's quieten the inner critic and amplify the self-celebration! 🌟

In a world that often demands perfection, it's easy to fall into the trap of self-criticism when things don't go as planned. But here's the thing: every step, every effort, every try is worth celebrating.  Even if we stumble, even if we don't meet our own high expectations, we deserve love and compassion from ourselves.

So let's turn off that inner critic and become our own biggest cheerleaders! 📣 Let's praise ourselves for the progress we've made, for the courage it took to try, and for the strength to keep going. 💪

I've found that shifting from self-criticism to self-praise has truly transformed my life for the better. 🌈 Today, I invite you to join me in embracing these affirmations and repeating them throughout the days ahead. 

Let's celebrate ourselves, every single day! 🎉 Share how you feel celebrating your own achievements in the comments below. 💖

Hey there, beautiful souls! Let's talk about something real today. Have you ever found yourself blaming your difficult childhood for where you are in life or the hardships you've faced? I know I have – and sometimes, I still catch myself doing it. 🤔💕

But here's what I've noticed on my journey: When I started introducing love into my life through daily Love Actions (putting love into action), something incredible happened. The blame and victimhood started to melt away, replaced by gratitude for every experience that shaped me. 🌈

You see, I realized that I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for everything I went through. Every trial, every challenge – they all played a part in shaping me into who I am now. And through loving myself and putting love into action to serve and love others, I finally understood why I needed to go through it all. It was all part of my journey, leading me to this moment – right here, right now so I could become a self-love coach, author and know that I am here to spread love. Because love truly is the answer to all.

So, if you've ever found yourself trapped in blame or victimhood, know that you're not alone. And know that love has the power to transform your perspective, turning challenges into blessings and hardships into opportunities for growth. 💗

Let's embrace love and gratitude, knowing that every step of our journey has led us to this beautiful moment. Together, let's continue putting love into action and creating a world filled with love and compassion. 🌍✨ 

Affirm Your Love: Making a Positive Impact on Yourself and Others 

Hey beautiful souls! Today, I want to talk about the power of daily affirmations in affirming that your love matters – not only for yourself but for the greater good of all. 🌍💕

By affirming your love each day, you're not only nurturing your own well-being but also spreading positivity and kindness to those around you. Your love has the potential to create a ripple effect of goodness in the world. 🌟

That's why I'm excited to share three easy affirmations with you today. These affirmations will remind you that your love is significant and that any act of love you do has the power to improve the world around you. 💗✨

So, let's affirm our love together! Repeat these affirmations daily and watch as your love spreads far and wide, making a positive impact on yourself and those around you. Together, we can create a world filled with love and compassion. 💖

🌍 Dreaming of a World Filled with Love 💖✨

With my optimism I often find myself dreaming of a world where love reigns supreme – a world free from hate, anger, and fear. 🌈

I fantasize about contributing to the creation of such a world by helping people love themselves more deeply. Because I believe that when we truly love and accept ourselves, there's no room for hate or anger in our hearts. And when our hearts are filled with love, there's no space for fear. 💕

When I embarked on my 31-Day Full-On Love Challenge where I did 10 acts of lover per day for 31 days, I never dreamt that I would discover an easy way we can change our world simply by consciously doing loving things throughout our day. But, that is what I noticed - immersing myself in love throughout the day changed my disposition and with it, I changed my environment because I was raising my vibration and putting out there a frequency of love, gratitude, and bliss - all very high vibration emotions.

During the challenge, I also noticed that the more love I felt, the more I wanted to share it and spread to those I encountered. My life became a perpetual cycle of generating, giving, and receiving love. 

With this, love becomes our driving force, propelling us forward with unwavering positivity and compassion. We operate from a state of high loving frequency, radiating love and kindness wherever we go. Thus, creating a better world around us. 

Now imagine if 50, 100, 1,000, 1,000,000 people consciously acted more loving on a daily basis - we can change the world. I have said it before, and I will keep repeating it - simple acts of love will change the world.

If you share this dream of creating a world filled with love and want to play a part in making it a reality, let me know. Together, we can make a difference, one loving heart at a time. 💗
