If
you have been applying yourself to this challenge of making time to do all you
have/need/want to do, it's important that you understand a few things:
Changing
your behavior is not like changing clothes. It takes time. It will take time.
Don’t dismay.
You
need to be committed 100% and make this a priority in your life.
You
will not always feel like doing what you need to do.
Some
days you will wake up in the morning all energized for the day ahead. You will have
all your frogs written down and you will not only be ready to eat them, you will WANT to
eat them. Your alarm will go off in the morning and your immediate response will be I'M
READY!
But sometimes you don't even feel like getting up from the
bed and throughout the day you just feel too tired to do anything
difficult.
Sometimes you want to work hard, sometimes you just want to watch TV.
There
are days that everything goes according to plan and there are some that
everything turns into a total DISASTER.
Some
days you feel like this is working and sometimes it just feels like a waste of
time.
And here's the secret to succeed in spite of the bad days:
You must ignore what you feel.
If
you rely on the way you feel, you will always be going back to square one.
So,
whether you feel like it or not, you MUST press forward, you must continue with
your tasks, you must carry on with eating your frogs. This is not a step but
the key to succeeding in this Challenge.
If
you’ve tried to do something important before and failed, if you signed up for this
challenge on December 26th and are not doing very well or have already given up, just look
back and you will see that the reason was exactly this: You didn't feel like
doing everything written here or you didn't feel like it was working, or you
didn't feel like trying anymore or you didn't feel like you could.
You
don't feel like going on? Go on anyway!
Don't
feel like making that list of things you need to do tomorrow? Do it now!
Feel
like doing everything else on your list but eating that giant, ugly, fat
frog? Take the first bite!
Most
often than not, YOU WILL NOT FEEL LIKE doing what you need to do, but you MUST
DO IT ANYWAY.
If
you can overcome your own feelings, then you can overcome everything else in
your life. If you can't...
Oh so true Mrs.Raphaela!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I feel like it and sometimes I don't, but I have to do it either way,
off to eating frogs,

Ok!! Seguindo em frente!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, feelings are unstable, like a mental person in a looney bin, one minute happy, the next sad, one minute feeling tired, the next ready to go... The list goes on. I'm glad I took this time to read this on Monday. Didn't take long, just had to not take my whole hour of lunch to eat.
ReplyDeleteGetting ready to eat some big, scary frogs with fangs after, lol.
Pressing forward;)

Ah yes, not feeling is something I am overcoming on getting my things to do done. I remember this day, where I time to rest, or do something else, but instead I started to get going on my chores! And today I could say that now I have less to do, and more time to focus on my School work, without being worried about the chores that I need to get done!
ReplyDeleteSo yes, ignoring what you feel, works. A lot!
I didn't feel like reading what our next task for this challenge would be because I thought it would be challenging rsrsrs... But I went against my feelings,I WILL NOT LOOK BACK! Time will soon have to catch up to us!!!
ReplyDeleteSo many times I don't feel like doing the things that necessary for me to do, and even when I do it, it takes me longer than it should. I want to improve, I need to improve or else it will become a habit for the rest of my life. I'm up for the challenge.
