It’s easier to put up with a momentary discomfort or face our resistance when we can see the finish line for what we’re doing. Next time you feel yourself flagging, remember your why (as in Tip 1). It’s also powerful to imagine the finish line. What’s the end result or outcome that you’re aiming for by doing this task? Use your imagination to make this picture as vivid as you can. Incorporate as many senses as you can into your vision. What will the outcome look like? What do you picture yourself doing? Where will you be? Who will be there with you? Will there be any particular sounds there? A ..read more

Do you ever wonder why doing the thing that you most want to do is fraught with obstacles or inner resistance? The other week I listened to Oprah’s interview with Steven Pressfield (on the Super Soul Conversions Podcast –these videos give a taste of their conversation).

Here is one question that can help us, whether we’re at the start or towards the end of a project, to get us back on track to finishing. &nbs ..read more

Previously, I’ve talked about the power of starting again, no matter where you are in the timeline of your project or goal. It’s a very simple idea. Show up and start by taking the first step whatever that may be.   That’s all very well when you’re feeling enthusiastic and pumped. But what about if you’re feeling unmotivated, overwhelmed or procrastinating big time? You might intellectually know that you need to start doing something, but you really don’t feel like it. I get what this feels like. I’m an enthusiastic starter. But sometimes mid-way through or towards the end of a project i ..read more
