But Ma, I don't want to!

Sometimes in life, you have to do things you really don't have a desire to do. For some of you, it's going to work, for others it may be helping your kids with homework and for most of us, paying bills ranks at the top of the list. But I want to encourage you today with this thought: the very thing you probably don't want to do doesn't take much for you to do it. "OH WOW Coach Fon, never thought of it that way."

See a lot of times, we spend more time dreading what we have to do, than actually performing the task itself, which makes it seem like it takes forever to do it. Of course our attitudes play a major role because our hearts desire one thing, but our responsibility tells us, we have to do it. As a life coach, I would ask you...Why do you have to do it?

You probably gave a reason why, but I encourage you to change your thoughts about what you are doing and ask yourself why. If it's necessary for you to do it because you need to work to pay bills or need to help the kids be their best by helping them with their homework, then you know why you must do it.

Once you clarify your why, then you can change your attitude and thoughts. Instead of saying "I have to go to work" or "I have to help the kids with their homework" or "I have to pay bills," change your statement to: "I want to go to work because_________." or "I want to help the kids with their homework because_______."

By simply changing the way you think about the task, you free up your energy blocker and get it done faster and feel even more accomplished because you understand why you are doing it.

Remove the "But, Ma I don't want to" attitude to a "I want to because____" attitude.

Be Encouraged and Be Blessed!
