A lot of us tend to get bogged down in the practicalities of getting things done to the extent that we stunt the role that imagination and inspiration can play in helping us to find more effective and innovative ways to reach our desires. If thinking about your goal and the necessary steps to get you there brings emotional stress, anxiety and other negative emotions, it is likely that you won’t be engaging your imagination in the process and your result may even feel slightly tainted by these feelings. If you allow this thought process to build and you surround the steps with negativity, it is far more likely that you will start using avoidance strategies and completing tasks half-heartedly or with limited possibility for improvement. If you can consciously sit and begin thinking about your daily tasks and their significance for their completion, attaching positive emotions of anticipation, pride, excitement and optimism, it should encourage your mind to begin inventing novel ideas and room for growth. The tasks will become opportunities, rather than liabilities. This is such an important step to maintain your commitment to your goals. Is there something that you are procrastinating with at the moment that you have started to build a negative mental story around? Attack it with positivity today.
