I take myself too seriously sometimes. And the same goes for my business, too. After awhile, things often seem to become stale, worn-out; and I lose my excitement. How about you?

When you find yourself struggling and the results aren’t coming, it’s time to take a step back and try another approach. When you change your perspective, even just a little freshness will go a long way!

Try this easy exercise with me:
How appealing is the word “diet” to you?  What if, instead, you replaced it with  “nourishment program” - would that be more enticing? Now you are focusing on what the benefits are - and what you WANT more of.

Let’s try another one. Think of the word “budget.”  How does that settle inside your gut? Is it something you look forward to each month? Let’s replace it with the phrase, “spending plan,” and see what comes up for you. Does it sound more exciting?  If you're like me, I'd much rather be thinking about what I want to spend my money on instead of what I can't have.

It’s all in how we look at the world. Words become labels that hold certain messages and expectations. Sometimes, we’re doomed before we even get started!  By changing your pictures, you change your thought patterns, and it is then easier to get into action. 

So replace that old, stale, picture with another that is more fun, more exciting, and more rewarding.  When you enjoy something, guess what!  You will usually do it again and again.

Let’s put some fun back into our daily living! 

Play with this today. Whenever you find yourself putting off a task, or just not enjoying what you’re doing, ask these questions:

• Does it need to be done at all? (Are you creating work and struggling with something for no reason?)
• What part of this am I not enjoying?
• How can I make a game out of it or change my framework around it? (Hint: often, just visualizing the reward will help!)

If you’d like to take the struggle out of your grinding schedule and, instead, you want to flow with more ease throughout your day, I can show you how to create your Ideal Week.
