Let me save you years of wasted time…
You keep waiting to feel ready… but ready might never come. Sometimes the blessing is on the other side of starting scared, confused, and imperfect. Stop chasing perfect. Start moving. God can guide motion better than procrastination. Your next level might be waiting on your first step. ✨

A young woman lies on a couch, covered by a brown blanket, looking up and to the right. Text overlays read "HOW TO SAVE A 'WASTED' DAY" and "RESET MID-DAY & GET BACK ON TRACK!". The image conveys a feeling of needing a reset.
Text on a gray background titled "DITCH THE 'TOMORROW' MINDSET" explains how to change a negative mindset about a 'wasted' day. A partial image of a person's face, looking upwards, is visible at the bottom.
Text on a gray background titled "HOW TO RESET YOUR 'WASTED' DAY" lists four tips: take a shower, go outside, have screen-free time, and make plans. A person holds a coffee cup outdoors in the background.
DON'T WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW - save your wasted day!🦋
There have been SOO many days in the past that I’ve just considered “over” at 3pm. Maybe it’s because I was hungover and didn’t get out of bed until 12pm. Or because I just woke up and started doomscrolling for too long… I always just think I wasted the day so I’m going to continue to feel bad/guil

6 weird little secrets for a wasted day 🤫
🌅👟 1: I fake a commute to my own desk. I literally put my shoes on and walk around my apartment building for a few minutes. When I come back and sit down, my brain registers it as "arriving" at a new place to work, which helps break me out of the procrastination funk at my desk. 🤯 2: I

Wasted time
The fact that a grown man will waste your time after trying to pursue you is mind boggling. I’m angry, I’m upset, and disappointed. He could have left me alone and not disrupt my peace but instead wanted to see if he could bag me. Men are cruel. This is a conclusion to this text series. I had to FO

Time wasted? Are you helping or supporting?
Man Iyanla made me say ouch and amen. I was so codependent out here helping people that didn’t ask me to. Then I’m mad because they didn’t act in alignment with the help or even better they’re mad at me for whatever reason it didn’t work. It left me tired and bitter. I’m trying to do better. #self

I wouldn’t have wasted so much time struggling…
All those years I spent blaming myself for being weak and not having enough willpower - turns out it wasn't my fault. I just thought I was getting older. That being exhausted all the time was normal. That waking up with aches and pains was just part of life after 35. That having energy crash

A woman in blue scrubs takes a mirror selfie, holding a light blue phone. Text overlay reads 'things I really do NOT want for Christmas', indicating items she doesn't wish to receive.
A multi-level beige cat tower is shown with several cats playing on it. The overlay text states, 'Cat Tower: I'm not a cat and I'm afraid of heights', humorously rejecting the gift.
A white lacrosse stick is displayed on a product page with the 'BATTLELAX' logo. Overlay text explains, 'Lacrosse Stick: I do not nor have I ever played lacrosse, so this would be confusing for everyone.'
I’d appreciate anything, but these are a few things that would be wasted on me.
I don’t wanna be seen as spoiled or ungrateful. I just wouldn’t want anyone wasting their money on me for these things. Gift them to someone more deserving and who would appreciate them! Xx
