How To Get Things Done Today
Think about the responsibilities you have lined up for today. How do you feel about them? Depressed? Demotivated? Pressurized? Or perky like a jellybean? If it’s a Monday I’m betting the farm you’d rather stay in bed. Admit it.
There’s a way to get things done with a smile.
Our mindset governs the driving force of our action. What do you think when you’re about to accomplish something?
“I have to do this”
“I must accomplish this”
“It’s my job”
“It should be done”
Thinking in terms of ‘shouds’ and ‘musts’ demotivate us because we feel coerced. It robs us of choice… even if there is choice (otherwise you won’t be doing it). There is, however, an elegant way of re-empowering our decision to toil. It is to think this way:
“I am glad to do this”
A simple mind shift and BAM! You’ll suddenly see rainbows in the sky.
Gotta mop the floor? Think to yourself, “I’m happy to mop this floor!”
Try it.
