Random Days Of Productiveness (Extra Boost)

On By Daydreamer LexIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

So it’s Friday which technically means the weekend has arrived and who doesn’t love that!? I don’t know how you guys are getting on with your Friday, but for me….. I don’t really know where to go really, I just feel like I want to do a lot of things, but I don’t know what those things are exactly, you know what I mean!? It’s like you feel your energy is a bit like woosh,

but you have no idea why, all you know is that your mind is on go, so like you feel more productive in a way than you might on most days, I don’t know if it’s like this for some of you, but I always feel like I just have random days where i’ll get up feeling inspired to be productive out of nowhere, now i’m not saying that’s a bad thing in fact, it’s probably a very good thing, because it’s like my brain finally has something in mind

That it wants to do and so it’ll kind of give me some ideas throughout the morning to see how we want to go about things I guess you can say and this always happens, out of all the days, there’s always that one random day throughout a random week to where i’m just in this mode of extra productive, like I don’t even play New Horizons that’s how much of a mode I end up being in, I know that doesn’t sound like a big deal and it’s probably considered a good thing as well which yes……i’ll admit that!!

I just find it to be wild though how it’ll just randomly happen, it’s really weird, but I guess I shouldn’t go questioning it, those days are probably the best kind of days for me in a sense because it’s making me want to push forward than on normal days, sometimes though, when in that mode, I still have some trouble deciding on where exactly I want my focus to be on

and so it’ll leave me stressing a bit on it, but I always try and take it without having it go away from me if that makes sense!? There are days where I probably don’t use those days as well as I should, but I still try my best with it, even if I don’t always grab it right away, it’s interesting though, but good!!

Have you guys ever had those kind of days!?

Slow Down….

On By Daydreamer LexIn Entries, UncategorizedLeave a comment

When you find some pressure on the rise or you’re feeling a little irritated, take a moment to just slow down a little, feelings of pressure and stress can cause irrational ways of thinking and with that you won’t really be able to focus much on anything……so take a moment to firstly breathe when you feel the height of the pressure and guide yourself to slow down a bit.

I know it’s probably not the easiest thing to do once you’re already in a state of pressure, but it’ll help to re focus your thoughts to become a little more clearer, all while helping you to get back to a clam state of being…..now it may take some time before you’re fully back to feeling at ease again and that’s okay, it’s not about how quickly you can do it, but just taking the moment to become aware so that you can not only process things,

but also just be fully present towards what you’re doing…..slowing down doesn’t always necessarily have to mean doing things slow, it can mean to just….take your time and maybe take things in a little more, look around a bit and while you’re at it, breathe a little deeper than you might’ve before.

Try and appreciate the small things that you maybe missed before, find enjoyment it all that you do big or small, but most importantly have patience and trust that it’s all going to work out and be alright!!

Hold Your Defenses…..and Judgements……

On By Daydreamer LexIn Entries, UncategorizedLeave a comment

By keeping our defenses at bay we keep from allowing what could potentially cause some kind of harm from entering, meaning if we go and pull out our defenses too soon, we may accidentally expose ourselves to unwanted situations, just by unawarely stepping on an unnoticed land mine, lying around……we have to try and stand guard even when we may not agree on certain circumstances, if we don’t allow judgements to target our mind, than they can have no affect on our state of mind.

Meaning our defenses are safe from impulsive actions, it’s not about always giving a reaction or feeling the need to add an opinion to every little thing we seem to disagree upon, but by allowing the judgements to seep through like sap from an oak tree, we keep from enjoying the sweetness of the sap and instead put our focus on a more bitter taste, that is not really meant to be there, but is now, because we chose to keep our attention on what could’ve had less of an affect had we just thought it through a little.

Now this isn’t something we need to wrap ourselves in frustration with if we did happened to go on our first instinct and find that it may not have been the best reaction and only affected us in a negative way than what we may have initially intended, while in the process also plummeting our own energy in the not so best way…….when that happens, keep away the judgements towards yourself and instead try and regroup, by doing that we learn to settle the mind and bring it back from a stressful state instead of allowing it to fully go out of control, become aware of your thoughts within that moment, show patience towards yourself as you’re regrouping,

and just keep your focus centered and know that sometimes the battles we think of challenging, may not actually need to be challenged, standing ground doesn’t always mean going at the first attack and when you see judgement heading towards you, allow it, but try and keep the interaction at a minimum or don’t interact at all and keep your peace of mind at peace.

You don’t want to lose any energy that keeps you afloat, when you pass judgement or receive judgement, that energy then turns bitter causing drainage (again in the not best way) losing you to miss out on any enjoyment that you might’ve been looking forward to whether planned or not in the process, so when you feel your guard getting ready to jump on impulse or you feel a judgement coming along, remember to take a second look at it and choose that battle wisely before taking action (preserve the energy)

Ways Of Productivity…..

On By Daydreamer LexIn Entries, UncategorizedLeave a comment

It’s the 5th of May today and I believe I just rhymed a moment ago……I know this month just started a few days ago, but anyone else feel it moving a little quickly and slowly at the same time!? Just me okay…..how are you guys doing, have you been holding up well with everything!? Are you feeling okay, how’s the week been treating you so far!? I know things are still ongoing, but I do hope you’re all doing alright at least!!

On to productivity…..we all have different ways of being and keeping productive, some of us are more productive in the morning, some around the afternoon and then you have those little percentages of people that are more productive around the evening, towards the dead of night to be exact

We all have a specific time of day that we may feel more energized, creative or just have times that we prefer overall, whether those times work within or productivity or not. Now even when we try to be more productive with our time, we don’t always know the best way to keep productive, I don’t know about you guys, but I find that my productivity switches at times,

Some days I find that I can be more productive in the morning time and sometimes I do better around the afternoon, it’s actually a preferred time for me and where I feel my productivity works better, on rare occasions i’ll have some random energy that finds it’s way to me somehow and will feel inspired for a moment to use my productivity during the evening,

but those are rare times, I tend to have my productivity come through between the morning and the afternoon, but mostly around the afternoon. Some may say the mornings are better to be productive, but it’s all on where you feel most inspired and creative!! I won’t say i’m always super productive and I don’t always use my time wisely the way I should i’ll admit

but trying to focus on being more productive with my time is something, i’ve been doing my best with, trying to keep in mind and take notes on (both mentally and actually) speaking of I did a video (I know lame way to add that in…..believe me I always find it a little awkward at times doing that)

no, but I did do a video talking about Productivity and trying to prioritize our time a little better, what is expressed in the video i’ll just keep there so you can hear it for yourselves in case you’re curious, you can check it out here: Productivity & Prioritizing I feel there’s some stuff that I should probably expand on now that i’ve written this post…..if it’s still in my head i’ll do it, but for now i’ll just write it down as a later idea, I might not choose to have it be recorded in a video kind of way, but more in a way that i’ve kinda been going back in forth with as an idea for a bit now…..

Where would you guys say you’re more productive in the day!?

All The Love ❤ ❤

Getting Back On Track…..

On By Daydreamer LexIn Entries, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Trying to come up with some kind of a grand opening for these post or at least one that makes sense anyway isn’t all that easy at times, sometimes there’s gonna be days where you just have to not try so hard and just let things come out as it wants to, right now I have no idea where this post is going to go nor do I know what exactly i’m going to be typing next, i’m kinda just going off the top of my head here and you know what!?

Sometimes you gotta say to yourself that “hey that’s alright” no need to think of something so intensely all the time, just go as you’re going, will it makes sense!? Maybe, but also maybe not, the important thing is you’re trying to get back on track in someway right!? I’ll be the first to say these past two weeks haven’t been the most productive at least not in the productive kind of way that it probably should have been,

but sometimes that happens, you’re gonna have days, more than that even where you find you’ve ended up by a pond of some sort not really knowing exactly how you got there, until you’ve realized you’ve been there a bit longer than you should’ve you know!? Once you realize though,

You know that from there, you’re going to have to find your way back on track again and sometimes that can be a little hard……not really knowing where you should start or what you should get back to first, there’s times where we may even forget where exactly we left off and that’s alright.

Going off track even though it can be a little of a hassle, especially when you know that you really should be staying focused, sometimes it can a little helpful too, it may not seem like it, but stepping away from walking a good few miles can be a good way of refueling any lost energy we may have needed to recharge on, sure we may have wandered off unknowingly or maybe knowingly, in the end though, we always do find our way back from where we wandered off to, sometimes it can just take a bit…..

Why Does Everything Have To Be So Negative!?

On By Daydreamer LexIn Entries, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Good day to you all, I hope you’ve all been doing well and are having a good, productive, occupied, nice kind of day with whatever you’re doing!! Let’s talk about some stuff yeah!? I feel like it’s been a while since i’ve written anything on a serious topic so let’s see what comes out with this one, that i’ve just gotten in the mood to talk about.

Before we get to writing, I just want to say that I hope you all are staying safe and well and that things are going okay with you, I know with everything going on it’s not really been the best of days lately……speaking on that topic actually, you’d think that things would be a little upbeat or at least attempt to be upbeat anyway, but it just seems as though things keep lowering on the energy level, by that I mean, negative feelings!!

I mean you do your best to keep things afloat and try and keep the energy up, but for some reason it’s like the negative over powers what could be positive!! I’m fully aware and understand the events of what’s going on in the world, I know it’s a serious manner, but that doesn’t mean we should allow the negative effects of it, to be our only focus, that being said now,

In this time it’s important to be of support to each other, be it who we’re around or even just talking via social media and that, we shouldn’t keep ourselves down and we shouldn’t let others feel down either, with what’s going on it’s important to take this time to not only give focus to the things that need our attention, but also do our best to be there for one another,

We all are feeling in different ways, some of us have learned to stay calm, some are struggling with this social distancing a little more than others and some have learned to use this time both a little and quite productively, there’s different ways we’re coping with everything going on, some of us may not know how to handle this whole thing, but that’s why we’re here.

We don’t always need to have things to say, but giving a little support towards each other does wonders believe it or not, we don’t have to keep our focus on the negatives so much, sure it’s a little difficult to do, but there’s ways to turn it around, we just have to allow ourselves to do so.

All The Love ❤ ❤

Let’s Talk: Yoga

On By Daydreamer LexIn Let's Talk, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Good morning everyone, hope all your weeks are starting out alright and that you had a nice weekend!! Okay so some of you might be a little confused about the title, why are we talking about Yoga!? Well I attempted it yesterday and kinda wanted to share on it, from trying it yesterday though i’m feeling some soreness this morning, are you meant to feel sore after doing yoga!? It’s been a while that’s why i’m asking……

Now originally I was going to write about it, but as I was writing the post, it kept getting longer and longer and so I ended up doing a video on it instead and after editing that video well…..it was still quite long, I had a lot to express on it I guess, originally it was 30 mins and that was because it was the untouched version, by editing it though, it came out to 24 mins and 33 secs. Now that’s still pretty long compared to what I would’ve wanted it to come out to, but I think it came out alright and I was pretty happy with it!!

I do try to keep my videos and posts from exceeding a certain amount of talkage time (I don’t think talkage is a word, but just go with it okay) but yeah I try to keep at a certain length when writing and recording, but I can’t seem to help myself when expressing and so that’s why it always ends up being quite longer than I anticipated……

Here’s a quick run down of the video, i’ll share what I had originally wrote down, but it’s probably going to be worded differently:

So after waking up pretty early yesterday, I did a 7 min mediation and than I decided to do a little yoga as well, now I probably should’ve started a little easy to warm myself up and get use to the stretches and all that, but I instead went for a 40 min yoga video focusing on bringing creativity out of you, now I know what you’re saying “40 mins isn’t that bad” very true, yes…..except

That 40 min video took me about 2 HOURS!! Yes 2 hours to get through, luckily it was still morning time and that I got up a little early today as well, i’m finding the earlier you get up the more the morning feels like it’s there for a while as well as the day, if that makes sense!?

So yeah that’s just a little peak on my Yoga attempt after not doing it for a while, there’s also some fun moments in there as well as other things expressed!! Now you know why it’s so long, had I written it instead, you’d be reading for hours, but if you want to take a look at my latest video, you can watch it here: Let’s Talk: Yoga (Patience, Breath Work ect….)

Also if you want to try out the yoga video I did, you can find it here: Awaken The Artist Within|Yoga With Adriene it’s a great workout, but you just gotta have patience with it as well as yourself, just do your best!!

Hope everyone’s doing alright!!

All The Love ❤ ❤

Tackling The Important Stuff……

On By Daydreamer LexIn Entries, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Although things seems to be a little on pause with everything going on, it doesn’t mean that we should take away our focus on what is needing our focus…..there’s a lot of reasons to why everything is happening, mainly because the Earth is needing a little bit of healing, so that’s what it’s doing and that’s why we’re experiencing, what we’re experiencing!!

That being said, I do hope that those who are either effected or being effected heal and get better, we all know that this will all pass in time and that we just have to wait it out and I know for many it’s a little hard, but all we can do is try our best to keep focus and actually try and use this time wisely to work on the things that need to be worked on or tackle the sort of things that need tackling and all that jazz…….

It’s during moments like this where we’re having to really reflect and think about a lot of things…..what kind of things you might ask!? Well that depends really, sometimes only you know, what kind of things have a lot of you been finding yourself reflecting on lately!? If you’re answering or thinking to yourself about it, then it’s those things, now I don’t have a clue what those things are, but it’s that……if you’ve been ignoring certain stuff,

You’ll find that with this moment where we’re being forced…..okay let’s not use the word force, instead let’s use the word…..ADVISED!! We’re being advised to stay in until everything clears up……now you’ll notice that a lot of the things that we may have been ignoring let’s say, have found it’s way back on our attention radar, you may wonder why and it’s because we haven’t quite dealt with it, obviously, be it on purpose, not having the time,

or just not really knowing how to respond to it and so on…….with everything now going on though, those things are making themselves known and we’re being again, advised to try and deal with them….how, we may still ask or wonder!? By acknowledging it, instead of trying to avoid it!!

By avoiding it, we’re only delaying the issue or the things that clearly need working on, the more we avoid it, the worst it gets, you never want things to get too bad to the point where everything starts falling apart, so if we can we should really take a look and start acknowledging the things that need acknowledging because it’s so easy to put things off, the real challenge is realizing something needs working on and trying our best to look at those things, see what needs our attention and working on fixing it if we can.

I feel like I have more to say with this topic, but I think I might end up doing a video on it and talking a little bit more about it, this is just the main stuff!!

All The Love ❤ ❤

Now Playing: Keep Your Head Up By Andy Grammer

On By Daydreamer LexIn Now Playing...., UncategorizedLeave a comment

I’ve been coming across this song a bit more these days, I rarely listen to it unless i’m listening to the songs off my phone and even then I don’t hear it very often, I think it only tends to come on when i’m in a low mood and that’s probably the reason it finds it’s way through my shuffle whenever i’m listening to the music on my phone and not on Spotify or Youtube…….

Even though I rarely hear it, I would still consider it a favorite of mine, all time favorite……maybe i’m not sure, but it is a song that I really like and also one that I find myself singing along to whenever I hear it, now I know Andy Grammer has a lot of songs, but I only know I believe two songs from him, this one and Honey I’m Good, for all I know though, I might’ve heard his other ones too, but haven’t realized it, but I really do like this song

It’s one of those songs where if you’re ever feeling a little doubtful with what you’re doing or with things in general, listening to this song can really help as a mood booster and give you that bit of confidence and some reassurance that regardless to how we may feel and how we think most of the time, we shouldn’t let the negatives get to us so much…….

With this song you really can appreciate the lyrics to what Andy has written here, it’s a reminder that no matter how rough things can get and no matter what we may say to ourselves and think, we should always keep our heads up and find a way to look towards the positives and just do our best to keep going, as well as trust that it’ll all be alright and will all work out in the end.

Now that all being said it’s not always easy to do those things, but as long as we try and are mindful with how we think and feel, we’ll find that it’s not always so hard, it’s just the knowing and awareness of it, as well as allowing ourselves to be okay and accept that everything is process and whatever progress we make big or small, everything will turn out alright, we just have to do our best to keep going and keep our heads from looking towards the ground too much, it may take some reminding, but know that’s okay!!

Here’s the song if you guys want to listen to it: Keep Your Head Up By Andy Grammer it’s an old song, but it’s still pretty darn good if you ask me……I hope all of you all are having a good weekend and are all well!!

All The Love ❤ ❤

Sometimes You Just Need To Laugh At Yourself……

On By Daydreamer LexIn Entries, UncategorizedLeave a comment

So the theme of course for today is random……you know that moment when you’re trying to focus or you know you need to focus on something, but your mind has other plans for you like thinking of all these unnecessary things that probably has a lot of examples I could give really, but I don’t really have any good ones at the moment…….you want to get frustrated with yourself about it, because when there’s something in mind that needs all your focus and your mind decides it wants to jump and swing all around tree branches like it’s some sort of monkey species and you can’t get it to stay still and cooperate with you it can be a bit of an annoyance you know!?

However sometimes I guess we need to just say “alright whatever” just for a small moment and let it run wild for a bit, it may not be the best idea to allow our minds to wander around when it’s wanting, but maybe if we let our brains have a small moment to just go for it, we might be surprise to what it can possibly bring, sometimes our best ideas come from wandering at times, but that being said it is important to make sure we don’t let it go off too far, because if we did then we’d never be able to focus……

If we allowed our brains a little bit of some random time and then say “alright now it’s time to focus here” we give ourselves a little bit of a balanced in a way, sometimes we have to just let the moment happened when it happening and not put so much emphasis on trying to get it to do what we want it to do right then and there and just laugh at ourselves instead of getting stressed out and frustrated about it.

By doing that we learn to not only enjoy the moment, but also have a little fun…..even when we know we need to be focused!! So if you’re having a not being able to concentrate type of day and you find your brain is just wanting to go everywhere when you don’t need to, just breathe, let the moment happen, be patient with yourself and laugh if you need to, don’t worry the focus will come back eventually, for now just……allow it to be!!

All The Love ❤ ❤
