Into action

category : share

When you don't feel like doing what you know you must, that's the best time to go ahead and do it anyway. That's when you can break through your old habit patterns to a new level of focus, performance and achievement.

That first step will require you to go against your natural tendency to put it off until later and to stay comfortably where you are. So how do you get beyond that?

Use your power of visualization to do two things. First, use your thoughts to make it even more uncomfortable, even more painful for you not to take action.

Next, visualize in great detail all the positive and desirable rewards you'll create by going ahead and getting it done. In your mind, make it so compelling to take action that you cannot avoid doing so.

Many times in the past, you've successfully avoided action by telling yourself why you can't or why you won't. Now, choose to use that same power to tell yourself why you can and why you will.

You control the awesome power of your thoughts. And with your thoughts you can successfully visualize yourself into action every time.

Get it done

category : share

Stop waiting for the task to get easier. Waiting will only make it more difficult.

Go ahead and get it done. Then you can move on to something even better.

The effort may indeed be difficult and painful. So it's best to have that effort behind you rather than in front of you.

Imagine how great it will feel to have it done. Imagine being free of that little voice in the back of your mind that keeps nagging you about it.

You cannot avoid the pain of effort. You can either prolong that pain by procrastinating, or you can get it done and get it over with.

Start right now to get it done, and soon you'll have it finished. Get it done, and delight in the glorious feeling of freedom and accomplishment.
