“People may call what happens at midlife ‘a crisis,’ but it’s not. It’s an unraveling - a time when you feel a desperate pull to live the life you want to live, not the one you’re ‘supposed’ to live. The unraveling is a time when you are challenged by the universe to let go of who you think you are supposed to be and to embrace who you are.”

I wish I can overcome laziness, weariness, procrastonatination and actually study and get some things done 🙏

Blow out the candles and see what happens…

Effortless effort is the best way to overcome laziness. It doesn’t always help with procrastination or study habits. It can’t even get you started on a mediation routine. What it does is turn your laziness against itself by recognizing how much effort it takes to not do those things you want to do. It also lets you be aware without even trying. Getting good at effortless effort takes some practice.

Meditation lets you take laziness to its extreme and to procrastinate everything. It is doing nothing when there is so much to do. It takes some effort to sit your body up and hold it still for 20 minutes. Then it takes some effort to focus your attention on your breath and bring it back when it wanders off. It takes no effort to have distracting thoughts. They come on their own, again and again. Bringing your attention back to your breath is effortless. It happens as soon as you notice the wandering thought.

After sitting in meditation for 20 minutes, studying suddenly becomes less work than doing nothing. You can ask yourself, would I rather study or sit another 20 minutes? If the answer is mediation, then sit some more.

Using mediation as your primary procrastination technique will help you build the focus skills you need to propel you toward your goals. Learning doesn’t take effort, it takes exposing yourself to the material and engaging with it. As you engage with studies, you find things interesting. As you find interest in things studying them becomes easier than not studying them.

Another effortless practice is being present. You are always present. It takes no effort to be where you are. It takes effort to be elsewhere. When you hold yourself to where you are and interact with the people who are there with you, you live your life as it happens. You study to study, not to perform on a test. However, when you know the material, tests become effortless and fun as you spew out your knowledge.

It takes some effort to change procrastination and laziness habits and to create productive study habits. But the initial effort you put into creating new habits makes all those things you don’t want to do now much easier to do later.

Procrastinate NOW! See, you can’t do it.

Every time I commit to a new piece of creation, I enter into this kind of relationship with it. So far this last one #sunsetmandala has been the most easy flowing, because it adjusted perfectly to my life necessities, it allowed me space to fulfill my responsibilities, have fun, and relax. It wasn't constantly asking for my attention, but rather it was there allowing for the perfect moment with ease. This might sound crazy for some 😊 but hopefully someone that goes through creative processes would understand 😆 I feel like I finally found the perfect agreement to my creating style😆😃 , so it is kind of a big deal for me ... Yee!! ❤️ #mandalaartist #mandala #sunset #creation #lovecreation #growth #empowerment #inspiration #artist #doodling #carlsbad #sandiego
