What can you do when you do not feel like getting started?
We all know what that feels like. You sit there staring at the
mountain of work in front of you while your mind screens a
horror movie of toil and effort.
I am sure you have tried making a list of things to do but the
problem is the longer the list the harder it is to get started.
Well, listen I have a very effective remedy you can use
whenever you feel this way.
Find That One Thing You CAN Do Now.
Now, it does not matter how small a task that one thing is.
Select one thing you feel capable of starting and completing.
Let me give you an example.
Last week I was sitting at my desk ready to get stuck into a
new project but I just could not get started and my mind kept
wandering.
Then it hit me...
There was such a huge pile of papers, books and notes on my
desk that the clutter was driving me crazy.
I picked up that pile of paperwork and deposited it on a
different desk in my office.
Notice that I did not sort through the pile and file it away.
I did one thing!
Now, at that stage I had started and completed one task that
would help me to make progress on my project. I then picked
one other thing I could do NOW.
Little by little I found myself starting and making progress
on the project without giving myself a hard time.
This is easy to do. And it gives you a sense of achievement
and gradual progress towards the successful outcome you have
in mind.
You Can Use This Simple Approach Today...
1. Pick a task you want completed but do not feel like
starting.
2. Ask yourself - what is the one thing I CAN do now?
i.e. you feel capable of doing it and it is effortless for you
to do so right now.
3. Do it!
4. Repeat step 2. Ask yourself again - what is the one thing I
CAN do now?
This works as long as you use these steps without putting
yourself under pressure. Remember that even a tiny step
forward is still a step forward. And each one builds your
confidence.
Do not force yourself to raise the stakes in a big way every
time you go back to the question - what is the one thing I CAN
do now?
Simply do that one thing you know you can do and repeat the
process.
-- Taking It To The Next Level --
There is a very powerful way to dramatically improve the
results you get with the approach we are discussing here.
Now, this is not for everyone. This is for you only if you
sometimes feel completely stuck and unable to get motivated in
the first place or if you have a hard time staying motivated
over long periods of time.
I am talking about the missing link in goal attainment. It is
the only sure-fire way to move beyond those feelings of apathy
that stop you making progress.
Refer to page 42 of my motivation book. Review the strategy on
that page and let go of the resistance that is holding you
back.
When you let go of your resistance to getting things done it
is so easy to select and act on that one thing you can do that
it will make you laugh.
If you get frustrated by your inability to stay motivated then
now would be a great time to finally discover how to let go of
that heavy feeling that prevents you from getting stuck into
things.
Imagine what it will be like when you impress family, friends
and colleagues with your newly discovered drive and enthusiasm.
You will hear their praise, feel their appreciation and know
that you have become the kind of person people can count on to
get things done.
Just so you know...
Getting motivated and staying motivated is really only a
question of strategy. Once you know how it is easy.
At the moment it is like you are trying to drive the car with
one foot firmly pressing on the brake. And you can press on
the gas all you like but you will not move forward.
Unfortunately nobody ever showed you how easy it is to take
your foot off the brake. Once you discover this you will be
amazed at how quickly and easily you will be motivated.
