Is your habit to think positively or negatively?
What is your tendency? Are you more prone to look at your routine tasks as something you gotta do or something you get to do?
How we look at the way we spend our time has everything to do with our motivation toward it and the level of satisfaction we enjoy. If we don’t feel what we are doing is significant, then it won’t be.
Get into the good habit of training yourself to see these things in a positive light and you will be amazed at the difference it makes.
Making this a habit takes practice, but it is worth it
Developing a good habit takes awareness and some effort. You have to become conscious of when you have a wrong thought. When you do this, you will probably be amazed at how many times within a day that you stray from the kind of thinking that you desire. That’s okay! At first, cut yourself some slack. Starting to realize how you typically think is the first step toward curing yourself.
Of course, if all we do is recognize our mistakes without taking any action to correct ourselves, then we aren’t really going to improve. The next step is to start replacing our erroneous thinking with the kind of thoughts we desire.
When I catch myself, out of habit, thinking that I gotta do something, then I simply remind myself this isn’t something I have to do, but something I am choosing to do. I also state either aloud or in my head why I am making this choice.
It usually takes some time, but soon I find my thinking changes. I start instinctively thinking positively which is exactly the good habit I want to develop!
