How many times do you wake-up and tell yourself ‘Today is the day’
Today is the day –
- I use less social media
- I start to read more
- I watch less movies
- I start to write that piece
- I take the first step on that idea
- I go to the gym
- I eat healthy
- I go to church
- I go out more often
- I call my family
- I call that friend I think of very often
- I wake up early
- I pay my bills
- I take that course
- I send that message
- I apply to that job
But then you end with ‘ I will start tomorrow’
I personally go through that everyday all day. But the good news is I have 3 tips that help me. So maybe you can use them too:
- The 5 second’s rule.
I discovered Mel Robbins last year and ever since I started to imbibe the 5 seconds rule, I have tricked my brain to resist the urge for safety and familiarity. What is this rule:
The next time you think of something to do. Make sure you take action in 5 seconds. If you don’t, your brain suggest one million and one reason why you shouldn’t. Everyone’s brain is wired to do that- To embrace comfort and logically reject unfamiliarity.14
- Set rewards for small achievements. We are so ungrateful to ourselves and the universe. We think until some grandiose goals are achieved you shouldn’t be rewarded. Think of these-When a student / worker is rewarded for small achievements they are even motivated to do better. Why is your brain different? Reward yourself for every little accomplishment and see the wonders that happen . Hone the power of gratitude
