Mornin':) I love my job and I'm so grateful for it. But sometimes there are things that I just don't want to do. You know, that dreaded thing you hate that hangs over your head? So I'm writing this while I have a full cart of books to go put up. I stalled by googling "when you really don't want to do something." Got a lot of pscho mumbo jumbo.
So here's my take:
- Take a deep breath
- Think about how you'll feel when it's over.
- Go do it.
- Done.
Gonna go see if that works, be right back.....
Oh, hi! Ahh, feels great.
Yep, done. Here's another point.
- The time I spent thinking about it was worse than actually doing the thing.
I make a list of the things I have put off doing. Then I ask God to give me what I need to do them (usually a good swift kick to the backside) and then, starting with the least of them, I get going. The more I accomplish, the more my attitude changes, so by the time I get to the big stuff, I am ready to tackle it instead of putting it to the back burner, again.
ReplyDeleteI also try to remember to thank God about the task been putting off.
Alisa, good advice. I've been a long time lover of www.flylady.net. Baby steps!
