Procrastination should not be normal, but it can be our natural way of delaying a task we really don't want to do. It is a very common habit, and definitely breakable. In this episode, I will be chatting about my struggles with procrastination, how to overcome procrastination, becoming self-motivated, and so much more! Procrastination can become the thing blocking you from fulfilling your purpose or finding your calling, and I'm here to help.

Procrastination is the thief of time.

Have you ever planned something, and it didn't follow through? It feels horrible when you've been looking forward to something and plans change. We have all been there. In this episode, I share my experience and how I changed my view on change. Just because we have our "perfect" future planned out on paper does not mean it will exactly happen that way. No matter how bad we want it too. There are many things that we can't control, but don't worry for God has a plan. His plans are always good!

It's time to stop believing "belief" is sufficient & can stand alone. Faith without works is dead. Let's start following and doing something with our faith. Why have faith and not use it? Sunday faith will not provide for Monday through Saturday. Following God is not a checklist, it's a lifestyle. THE active lifestyle. Are you ready to run the race instead of sitting on the sideline? Let's run the race together and bring others with us along the journey!

We have all said the famous phrase, "I’ll do it tomorrow.” Sometimes we wait for the new year to become a “changed person.” Why wait? I say let’s start now. Whether it’s in the beginning, middle, or end of the year. Wherever you are at in life is the perfect time for change. There is no deadline or specific day to start. If you see the need for change, make the change. You are your biggest enemy. You can stop yourself from reaching your fullest potential, but not anymore. In today’s episode we will be touching on topics, such as, close minded vs. open minded, faith without works, practicing what you preach, my experiences, excuses, and much more! Let’s grow together and conquer the normal!Thank you so much to everyone who supports, shares, and listens to my podcast :)Check out my YouTube channel (Sam Gonzalez): https://youtube.com/channel/UC8qv3ipXumD8lTmCpBA8P_ACheck out the podcast instagram (@candidchatspodcast): https://www.instagram.com/candidchatspodcast/--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/samantha-gonzalez15/support

Have you ever scrolled on social media a few times and started comparing yourself with another "perfect" person? Or have you ever felt insecure about yourself when you meet someone that has the "whole package", and you feel inferior? At this point, we all have felt this way, one way or another, and it is completely normal, but it doesn't mean it should stay that way.

In today's episode, we will be chatting about the world of comparison and why we don't need it. Instead of following our flesh and comparing ourselves, we need to start realizing how much value we hold. I discuss topics on self-worth and back up my message with encouraging truths from the Bible. Aren't you tired focusing on the wrong things when you should be focusing on what is right in front of you? I share advice and valuable truth you will need to hear to change your mindset and get on track to reach your full potential the Lord has planned for you! Grab your Bible and take some notes if you need too! Writing down things helps your memory store the information better. Stay tuned!

Today, we chat about how to start feeling like yourself again when you're stuck at a stopping point. Sometimes it is necessary to be stuck in a rut when people are always moving too fast towards the next step. Being in a rut can be a sign to stop and take a breather. Other times it can be a step we miss to take. I share some causes of what started the rut and healthy ways you can get out of it. If you're not feeling like your normal self, maybe there are some relationships or small issues you do not see in your life yet because something is standing of your way of seeing it. We will be diving into topics, such as, perfectionism, relationships, routines, productivity, and more! Stay tuned!

Today, we chat about how much power our words hold. We often forget how our words can transform lives and hurt others. We dive deep into how judgeful our society can be and how judgement evolved. I give real life situations that demonstrate how much our words, surroundings, and mindset can be the start of our downfall or personal revival. Have your bible or notebook in reach, if you can, because I will be connecting my message to some bible verses that stood out to me. We also touch on criticism and the different approaches to criticism. There are many people who do not know how to give and receive criticism correctly. Stay tuned!
