Every task becomes a burden, you’re tired and all you want to do is binge watch the latest episodes of your favorite TV Show.
I have these days all the time, however this doesn’t mean I give into them.
These are the days in which I embrace the challenge, I fight my mind and work to become better than myself.
If we allow our moods to dictate our actions – soon enough we will be procrastinating, distracted, lacking any sense of exercise, struggling to eat healthy and who knows what other bad habits.
Today is your day to take ownership.
When it comes to the time that we need to take action – how about when you get the feeling of “I don’t feel like it”, try saying one of these instead:
- I made a plan and set a goal, I gotta do it.
- Past Me said I should do it, and Future Me will thank me, so let’s do it!
- Once I start, I’ll be glad I did. All I have to do is take the first small step to start.
- I don’t need to decide on this, or think about it. It’s already decided.
- I am doing this for others, to set an example for others, to make the world better. Aspire to Inspire.
- It’s time, let’s get to work like a pro.
“We aim above the mark to hit the mark.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you are struggling to start something… a new routine, exercise, working on your passion, or whatever it may be. Just do something.
Just get started and begin actually doing it.
Don’t worry about whether you’ll do it for 10 minutes or an hour. Don’t worry about how good you’ll be at it, or what people will think of it, or whether you’ll succeed or not. Those are not relevant to the task. Just do it. Put your mind completely in the activity.
You can only get better as you keep at it.
I challenge you to do this for a week straight. Do something, for X amount of time regardless if you are good at it or not. Track the results and just see how you go.
