 Mindset of productivity  Here is a video that explains how we can be more productive 👇 Procrastination can have negative effects on both our energy levels and the amount of time we have available to complete tasks.

However, in reality, we are just creating more stress and anxiety for ourselves.  1. Write in your journal  2. Don’t over commit  3. Look after your mental health  4. Get off social media for example facebook etc 5. Have a to do list each day  6. Create a planner for the week  I hope this helps you to improve your productivity so you can get your work done.

Do you struggle with brain fog? Your are not alone! I get it too! Here is my advice to improve fighting brain fog. Eat (and drink) to feel good Green tea, coffee and water is known to help.

The thoughts that are involved in our feelings tend to have some sort of assumption or judgement about ourselves, others or the world.  There are two particular types of thoughts that are involved in our emotions or feelings.  Inferences  Evaluations or beliefs  The easiest is the "ABC" model of emotional response  ABC  A - Activating Event (triggers) B - Beliefs  C - Consequences  A - Past, present, future real or imaginary.  C - Feelings Thoughts Actions Behaviour.  When a tigger happens at A you feel, behave, think and experience negative symptoms.

It is as if we are not responsible for our own emotions. Remember what is at the heart of your fe...

You have a choice. Identifying a range of options will stretch you beyond your usual way of thinking. Because positive thinking Broadens and opens up possibilities and ideas. Too often, though, you might spend ages agonising over the pros and cons of each option: you might over think the situation. How you might wonder, do you know that you’ll be choosing the best option, that you will definitely be making the “right” choice and if it doesn’t, that you won’t regret having made a different decision?
