Entry #5: Intuitively Onwards, Inwards, and Upwards

Procrastination, Emotional Regulation, and Intuitive Creation Systems

In this entry, I discuss how to break the loop of procrastination and overthinking. The goal is to recognize when I am in a loop, going in circles. By taking a mindful moment, I can reassess the situation and then intuitively take a different path. That path may not always be forwards 👀

I also talk about how the success of my physical habits has helped deepen my mental and creative habits. Rather than staying in the loop of logical productivity, I mindfully break the loop through intuition.

As you read, take a moment to set a mindful intention: think about where you are looping in your life. Are there habits you are blocking yourself from starting due to procrastination?

Are you ready? Let's get started ✨
