I'm in agreement with Tom. I love this sentence: "Had we invested the same energy & time on the task that we have been avoiding, it could have been finished by now and we would have been way ahead on our path to achieving the goal." That one made me think. I also like your point about keeping your eye on the prize and not the goal. Look at what drives you. That's what keeps me going.

I like what you have to say about accepting that we want to do what we need to do. You're so right, the avoiding and fighting it just lead to lost time and energy. What works well is to start right in and get in movement. Tom / Delightful Work´s last blog post..Does a Business Startup Have To Be Hard?

Avani-Mehta,

On a separate note, thank you so much for signing my endometriosis awareness petition! Please feel free to share my blog address to your friend who has endo. I hope she’ll find it helpful! Anyone who wants to help create awareness of endo can sign the petition.

Thanks again!!

Hi Avani - I like how you reminded me to "keep my eye on the prize" and not on the goal. That's a big difference. It's also where visualization comes in. Barbara Swafford´s last blog post..NSNBOTWs - 2 Gals From Down Under

Hi Avani: The woman who taught me the Silva Method (which I use for meditation) would tell us that meditating every morning was as important as brushing our teeth. I think that rekindling our motivation every day is at least as important as taking a daily shower

People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily. – Zig Ziglar

lol, awesome quote. That’s so valuable. Thank you for sharing that Avani.

I've got some huge project deadlines looming and I cannot help but focus. Alas, one particular project is something that I keep avoiding. Thanks for the pep talk. The prize is huge, so it's time to buckle down a bit more and just get it done. Ian´s last blog post..Funiculì, Funiculà, Friday

If I end up with a task I really don’t want to do, I will usually resort to thinking that the task is a direct order from a boss and if I didn’t complete it, I will be fired. I may be whining throughout the task, but the task will be completed nevertheless.

Nice series Avani. Can’t wait to read #3

The Prize is a big deal for me. When I want something really bad, I just KNOW what it is going to feel like once I have it. And then it is so much easier to put in all that crazy amount of work. Struggles are just that – struggles. There are more down days than up days …and the Prize is what gets me through those tough times. This is perhaps my Motivation Hack #1
