Overcoming Procrastination and Cultivating Positivity in Blogging and Life

Hello my Hive Friends!🤗👋
Do you find yourself putting off your blogging endeavors due to feelings of unworthiness or a lack of i[nspiration? Do you struggle to maintain a positive outlook amidst life's challenges? Well, You're not alone. Here are some tips to combat procrastination, overcome self-doubt, and embrace positivity in both your blogging journey and everyday life in general. Trust me, I've been there. I wish to write about these things for many have been stuck in a deep mud hole and don't know how to get out, How to free themselves.

The following advices that I wish to share comes from my own personal experiences which happened to me just last year and these things helped me in overcoming my own self, my procrastination.

First one is "Break Tasks into Manageable Steps"
Instead of overwhelming yourself with the entire blogging process, break it down into smaller, more achievable tasks. Start with brainstorming ideas, outline your post, then focus on writing one section at a time.

Second is Set Realistic Goals:
Set specific, achievable goals for your blogging journey. Whether it's publishing one post per week or reaching a certain word count, having clear objectives can help keep you motivated and accountable.

Next is, Challenge Negative Self-Talk:
Recognize when negative thoughts creep in and challenge them. Remind yourself of your past successes and the value you bring to your readers through your unique perspective and insights. Don't dwell on the negative for I have read that what you think about, you bring about. Thoughts are things. So try to cultivate happy, positive thoughts on how you can impart to your readers, the values, the lessons you wish to give them and of course to your daily life as well.

Seek Inspiration:
Explore different sources of inspiration, such as books, podcasts, or nature walks. Engage with communities of fellow bloggers to exchange ideas and support one another. These will help you a lot in giving you a boost, specially if you have circle of friends who wish nothing for you but to put out what you are good at and that is to write about your daily experiences in life. Having supportive friends is really very important for when they feel that your are a bit under the weather, they will try to cheer you up and will just ask you about why you look so problematic and not your own happy self. Just like what my mom did to me @jurich60. She is the main reason why I kept on blogging, sharing about my own life experiencess, adventures, mishaps and just about anything really.
She always tells me that time is very precious when it passes it won't go back anymore. So try to put it to good use. Maybe you can even help others from your blogs, maybe you have the same situation and you helped them feel better. That is a big blessing. Super grateful that I have an uplifter kind of mom and very supportive too. Thanks much Ymmom🥰♥️♥️♥️

Practice Gratitude: Take time each day to reflect on the blessings in your life. Keeping a gratitude journal can help shift your focus from what's lacking to what you're thankful for, boosting your overall mood and perspective. I always start my day by saying my prayer of gratitude. I mostly say what I am grateful for focusing more on the good things going on in my life. I try not to lean my energy most on the things that don't help me like when I am beset with trials or problems.

I focus more on the blessings that I have abundant of. The good things around me, mostly nature. We were all born Rich, we have unfathomable wealth really but just short of money. I always state my happy affirmations like, All is well in my life; God has my back, he loves me for I am his beloved daughter; my income is constantly increasing for we now have multiple sources of income. We prosper everywhere we turn and so much more. These are just some of them that really helps me a lot.

Find Your Why
Reconnect with your passion for blogging by reminding yourself why you started in the first place. What topics or issues ignite your curiosity or drive to make a difference?
Let your passion fuel your creativity and motivation. You have to be in love with yourself first then with life no matter the situation. Remember that you are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars, you have a right to be here.

Embrace Imperfection
Accept that not every blog post will be perfect, and and that's okay. Embrace the process of learning and improving with each piece you write. Remember, progress is more important than perfection. I have been a member in hive I guess that was 2021 but up til now I still have a lot to learn about hive, about blogging, about posting, about editing my photos so I won't be tagged as spamming others like using other people's photos. I have never done that honestly, all the photos I used in my blogs were all taken by me. There are times though that I saved as a video and when I do screen shots I forget to edit them take out the black edges for I usually have the time to create my post late at night just like now it's almost midnight on my side and I am already tired and sleepy that I forget to edit the trimmings but come to think of it, it also serves as an added space so the photos won't look crammed up together. But, still try to edit them as clean as possible for Ai got a comment about it.... I replied it was already almost 2am when I finished my blog and had to wake up early the following day so I was exhausted already. Lesson learned, I guess.☺️🤭

Celebrate Small Wins:
Acknowledge and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small they may seem. Whether it's hitting a milestone in your blog's traffic or receiving positive feedback from a reader, every step forward is worth celebrating.

Practice Self-Care:
Prioritize self-care activities that rejuvenate your mind and body, such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones. A well-nurtured self is better equipped to tackle challenges and stay positive.

Stay Persistent:
Understand that overcoming procrastination and fostering positivity is a journey, not a destination. Stay committed to your goals, and don't be discouraged by setbacks. With persistence and resilience, you can conquer procrastination and thrive in both your blogging endeavors and life in general.
Remember, you have the power to overcome procrastination, self-doubt, and negativity. By implementing these strategies and cultivating a positive mindset, you can unleash your creativity and achieve your blogging goals while finding joy and fulfillment in every aspect of your life.

I hope you get something from my post, learned something that you can apply. Try to comment down as well, I would love to hear your thoughts too.
