THE PROCRASTINATOR IS… (DRUM ROLL PLEASE)… ME?

It’s true, I admit, I can be the biggest procrastinator. But before I get all vulnerable and truth-telly  about my flaws… hold on a sec! It’s more fun to start with you (cuz I don’t like looking my own flaws ha!).

Maybe it’s you who are procrastinating again. Why?

You know people that could easily accomplish the task you’re trying to do several times in one day, no sweat. So why has it taken you weeks and it’s still not done? Are they more talented or skilled than you are? You know that is not true! So why does the task feel so insurmountable to you?

Ready for the eye-opening and difficult to admit, yet easy answer?

It’s because you’ve become too emotionally attached to the task. You’ve overthought it and allowed to get so big in your own mind, that even the biggest weed whacker can’t get to it. It’s become a monster and it’s downright scary!

Instead of viewing what you are trying to accomplish as a positive thing – a challenge that provides you with an opportunity to learn and grow – you’ve become emotionally attached and stressed over what hasn’t yet happened, and so long as you continue on this path, it’s only going to get more difficult for you. You have lost confidence in your own self and you are not being present in the moment – you are either living in the past, or in the future.

In a nutshell, you procrastinate because you have allowed the overwhelm monster to swallow you whole and haven’t chosen to view this task as a challenge, an opportunity to grow, and an experience to better yourself.

So what do you do?

OK! Back to me now. Let me share because, with tech and my website, I’ve been living in this space for longer than I care to admit. That’s why I’m writing this post, so I can remind myself that not facing what you need or have to do (challenges) head-on doesn’t make them go away, they just get bigger and bigger in your mind and then they seem insurmountable. So long as they seem that way to you, that means they are so.

Mindset is almost always the key to most anything, and when it comes to procrastination, it most definitely is. So, I learned that I have to reassess the challenge and start with the following question to myself:

  • Is this worthy of you or your time?

If the answer is a big fat NO to number one, then let it go. It’s just causing you undue stress. But, if the answer is YES, it is worthy of you and your time, and if you alone are responsible to complete the task, then proceed to the following point.

  • You have to face the challenge head-on

Yes, it’s time to face the challenge head-on. That means looking at whatever you see as insurmountable as an opportunity for growth, and an experience that will only make you stronger, more confident and eventually, no matter how small the task it, you will be better for it.

Your challenge might be what many people might consider as no big deal, like loads of laundry that have built up and have been sitting there for weeks (yes, this has happened to me). You’ll feel better about yourself once it’s all washed, dried, folded and put away. You can check it off your list and boy does that feel good huh? If it’s creating a website, like it was in my case, I feel better just by committing to getting one thing done on it a day and then making it happen.

I CONFESS

I confess that I would sit for hours trying to get just one thing done on my site and not really doing anything for HOURS! DAYS! WEEKS! MONTHS! It seemed like I would never understand the tech part of creating my business. By the end of the day, after weeks upon weeks of the same thing happening, I felt so lost, upset, and small. I felt like the overwhelm monster was eating me up alive, so I would escape and hide allowing anything and everything to distract me from working on my website.

It was not a good feeling AT ALL!

So I started committing to doing at least one thing on the site a day through completion, and guess what? I’ve got a website! It’s not totally finished by any means, but it’s humming along!

cute overwhelm monster

So, I’ve written this post for both of us, and I continue to commit to doing at least one thing towards my most dreaded tasks every single day (which the website is not one of anymore btw, YAY!), and doing them first to get them out of the way. That way, even if my tasks get done slowly, they get done!

Never allow the overwhelm monster to stand in the way of your dreams, tasks, or goals!

I hope this was helpful to you in some way!

If it was, or you know someone who just might need to hear this, share it out! I would be honored!

Thank you for visiting my site today!

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ DAY 14 - WATER FASTING ♥

3 p.m. today marked the 14 Day mark for me. I broke my fast after that with a beautiful squishy kumquat!!! It was juicy, bitter, sweet, and amazing!!! I hope that if you have never fasted before, that you try a 24 hour fast and just let your digestive system rest. It will bring you so many benefits.

Today I had a full astrological reading. It was fantastic!!! I’m so excited about what I can create for myself this year! It’s going to be a beautiful year!! For you, and for me!! Thanks again for hanging with me during this shorter fast!! When I am ready, I’ll be taking a trip spiritually - that may be through fasting or another way!! Maybe even a physical trip. But it will always be the betterment of myself, for mankind, and for our planet!!! And always having to do with the health of mind, body, and spirit.

Stay tuned!!! Besos!! Lynnie
𝘿𝘼𝙔 13 - 𝙒𝘼𝙏𝙀𝙍 💦 𝙁𝘼𝙎𝙏𝙄𝙉𝙂

Feeling good in the morning is the norm this fast. I feel happy for no reason and since the full Blood Wolf Moon, I feel connected to the world around me. I love the feeling of empowerment and strength this fast has provided. I was challenged about my fasting by three people and personally attacked by one.  I am much stronger than what I was before I started - and handling that with conviction - has made me a stronger and more empowered person.

I will be breaking my fast tomorrow at the 14-day point hour-wise.

A few good things that have happened for me during this fast:

My ability to focus and not get real emotional about things that have typically bothered me. I love when that happens and I hope I can hold on to that poise, focus, and serenity.

My finger that recently started having some strange discomfort deep between the joints of my fingers (since late November), feels resolved.

I’ve lost 17 lbs which was necessary to jump start my health and re-discipline myself.

If you understand TCM, you know your tongue can tell you much about your health. In detoxing you get a white coating and it starts clearing up as you fast and toxins leave your body. My tongue went from gross on Day 3 to nice and pink yesterday so this was a great detox!

My vision seems a bit better overall. It was really great a few days ago yet it seems to fluctuate some. But still better than before! It seems I can see more clearly. That’s still something I’m cheering my body on and watching.

I mentioned that the floater was gone from my eye but a few days ago I really looked for it and found it. It is so translucent now I can barely find it. So, it’s still there while I thought it was gone. But it’s the Flora PM I put in my eyes every morning and night that seems to be doing the trick!!! It’s fading away into nothingness😂

I give a lot of credit this fast to Living Streams Mission’s probiotics and ASEA. I only felt parched for about half an hour last Saturday, when all other fasts feeling parched was a constant from Day 3 onward.

I really love fasting! I am deciding when I want to do a longer one but it won’t be this time around. 
Love you all so very mucho!!
𝔻𝔸𝕐 𝟙𝟚 - 𝕎𝔸𝕋𝔼ℝ 𝔽𝔸𝕊𝕋𝕀ℕ𝔾

My day was filled with planning, studying, talking to friends, and making the decision as to whether or not I wanted to venture into a new biz adventure.

I didn’t do any exercise today with the exception of rebounding to move my lymph. 💫
🙌
I lost another pound but I think I’ll stop talking pounds for now. It’s no longer the point. I don’t know if I will continue this fast many more days or not. I’m feeling I have accomplished my goals and I have some other health experiments I am eager to try. I have to say that the Living Streams probiotics and the ASEA have really made this fast so different and beautiful! So, I’ll report to you as I go!

Thank you again for being with me on this journey. 🙏💦🙏💦 Your comments on IG, FB and your beautiful private messages lift me daily. I feel so blessed to have you in my life ❤️ I truly hope that you recognize that your health is your number one asset. My job is to help you protect it.

I love you mucho! 💫🌟💚💛💜❤️💙 Lynnie

I went to bed last night near 1 a.m. after the eclipse was all done and I got pics and my post out. That eclipse was such a beautiful sight! What a glorious opportunity!!⠀
⠀
Today was spent getting my newsletter out and catching up with friends and family. I had the best day! I’m doing something different this year. While I have my dreams and definitely have a few goals, I’m doing more reflection on what I want my legacy to be. I want to be there for the people I love and cherish and I want them to feel loved and cherished. So, I took time to call those I love and care about rather than texting. So much of the emotion gets lost in translation with a text.⠀
⠀
I rebounded (mini trampoline) and felt lighter than I have in months. Interesting that I’m still at 134 lbs. but my BMI has gone down to 29 from a start point of 34. They are both high as far as I’m concerned but the visceral fat is melting away. I’ll take that all day long as I feel good and energetic!!⠀
⠀
I have definitely moved into the spiritual side of this fast.⠀
⠀
I was reflecting a lot on mortality today. Since October, three people I know (or know of) have died. One died today and it was a shocker as he was in his early 60s and so vibrant. I just learned of one I had talked to to be on my podcast months ago. These deaths all shocked me because none were expected.⠀
⠀
This put me into a place of really being grateful for being alive with the other side of that coin urging me to live as if I were dying. I love that Tim McGraw song. But that’s where I’m headed- to live freely and fully in this topsy turvy world.⠀
⠀
I always say that your health is your number one asset and I always assure you that my job is to help you protect that asset. My advice to myself and to you is to not wait until tomorrow to start working out, eating more healthily, calling your family member or friend, etc. but to start today.
⠀
It is human nature to just slog through life. Stop. What do you want your legacy to be when you’re gone? Who did you most want to impact? Are you proud that you are a good role model for your children or others?⠀
⠀
Live like you were dying...everyday.⠀
⠀
I love you ❤️

𝘿𝘼𝙔 10 - 𝙒𝘼𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙁𝘼𝙎𝙏

Today was a good day!! I was excited about taking pictures of the full Blood Wolf Moon all day!! And I got some good ones and some not so good. But I enjoyed learning how to shoot the moon.
🌕
My weight is 134 which is soooooo different than all my other fasts. Usually I go down in weight much more quickly! Everything about this fast is so different. I don’t know if it’s the ASEA, probiotics, Essentrics, gym workouts, or the full moon and eclipse. I’m stumped! But I’m good with it because I feel really good!

I went to an Amazon store in the mall and took back a mug. Usually they charge you $7.99 to take it to a locker or wherever. At this store, you just print out a label, put it on the box, take it to their store and you’re done! No payment necessary. I’ve already been refunded my money! That was fun!

I had a finger that was hurting below the joint  since about the very end of November. That appears to be much better and even resolving! And... Since a few people have moved on with their own lives who disagree with fasting, leaving me to fast in peace, I’m feeling calm and peaceful.💦 This beautiful eclipse tonight was breathtaking! I watched it from beginning to end and felt so connected to more than this earth. It was a divine experience ❤️ Did you catch it?!! I felt like it was August 27th(?), 2017 all over again!

It’s late so I’m off to bed! I’ve taken my ASEA and Living Streams probiotics (the Chabide) and of course my water from my Big Berkey!!! Oh! I forgot to share that my sleep is so deep and the dreams so vivid!! I’m loving going to sleep now as I’m thoroughly entertained all night long! 
Well, this time I do have to say goodnight 💤 It’s Liver time and I definitely want to have a healthy liver!!! Good night beautiful peeperoos!!! @canonusa 📸
The not so great pics are all mine. I know my Canon Rebel and tele lens Can do better so I’m still learning how to use it. Darn! I should have practiced my moon shots before last night! 😂😂😂
Happy Super Blood Wolf Moon!!!! 🌚 Watch your emotions today and get ready for closure on things in your life that will be  wrapped up, making way for new paths and new beginnings.
🌚
This is supposed to take about 6 months to resolve, made clear, and shine through so... if you’re not journaling... go get yourself a compositions notebook or a fancy unlined journal and begin! You don’t want to miss any subtleties!!
🌕
Depending upon your source, this eclipse will begin about 10:30 PM (EST) (en minutos!!!) and will peak at 12:12 AM EST.
🌝
Are you ready? Do you have a ritual ready? Sage for cleansing? Your camera?!!!!!
🌚
I came across this site which takes the meaning of this eclipse - sign by sign (astrological) - and does a quick tarot reading for each sign as well. You might know of her, I did not, but I like her sassiness so I thought I would share. It might be helpful, interesting, or maybe just entertaining.
🌜
Enjoy!! Much love to you! ❤️
🌝

I woke up feeling light and happy. Two of my brothers called and and told me they’ve been fasting. One just finished a five day fast and the other does 2 days a couple of times a month. I had no idea! And one of my sisters was inspired to try it last year and has done a couple of 14-day fasts which has controlled her psoriasis. I’m so excited they were inspired to try it and have had good experiences!⠀
⠀
Fasting is such a great way to reset your body.⠀
⠀
I’m holding at 135 lbs. which is great. My daughter and I had our regular Mommy y Baby Saturday which involved heading to the mall to get some things she needs for her trip to Dubai and stocking up on some veggies for hubby. We went to @sephoraparkmeadows and @lushcosmetics in Park Meadows mall and then it was off to @naturalgrocers and @traderjoes for supplements and the veggies. I also finally got my measuring spoons at @crateandbarrel! I’m sooo happy!!
.
I had to keep my calm with some negative people today and felt strong in my own power. Energy vampires are everywhere. It’s up to each of us if we want to expend our energy on them. I choose not to - it’s just not worth it.⠀
⠀
My daughter said I was slow and kind of spacey. 😂😂😂💦 Well, that’s par for the course. My body systems have slowed down and while I felt energetic most of the day, there were times I felt like I wanted to rest as well. My body is going through a lot. I respect and honor that. It’s a process.⠀
⠀
I did get a bit parched while in the mall. And I’m not sure what that was about. It cleared up pretty quickly. I don’t know if it’s the ASEA or the Living Streams probiotics helping out with that. All I know is I am grateful!⠀
⠀
So nothing earth shattering today. I’m just going with the flow and loving that the visceral fat is melting away. I know the weight part is over but it really feels good not to have the excess fat on my sides. I really disliked that as that was a new one for me.⠀
⠀
I hope you had a fantabulous Saturday! I’m off to bed to get my rest. Sleep tight you beautiful peeperoo!!! 💤 ⠀
⠀
⠀
⠀
Fasting is an interesting thing. After you get passed day 3 or 4 (depending on the person) you just don’t get hungry. So you can easily make food for the family. Before that... good luck 😂😂😂 You’re on your own!
.
Last night I threw frozen organic chicken drumsticks, frozen roasted green chili, potatoes, carrots, and other things into the Instant Pot. My daughter helped me with settings - as she’s becoming quite the Instant Pot expert - and in 20 minutes it was ready plus an additional 15 minute to let the steam release. Then she seasoned it as I didn’t want to break my fast by tasting. Hubby loved it! And the house smelled really good. I totally suggest an Instant Pot!
