Motivation That Works

 

Weekly Worksheet: Changing "To Do" into "To Give"

Your "To Do List" is an example of pushing.

Start out noticing your usual list of things to do.

Example Tasks:

1. Go grocery shopping

2. Workout in the morning

3. Return phone calls

Now, translate these tasks into your list of things to GIVE yourself. You will need to think of the BENEFIT you get when the task is accomplished. Pretty soon, you will begin to think of the benefit from doing the task almost like a reflex. It will be easier to PULL yourself toward doing the tasks.

Your "To Give List" will PULL you toward your accomplishments

Example GIFTS:

1. Give myself foods I like to enjoy at home & for lunch

2. Give myself the boost of energy & confidence

3. Give myself the relief I feel when I finished the phone calls

You get the idea. You are learning to think about tasks in a new way...

Instead of focusing on the task,
you are leaning to focus on the reward
or PLEASURE from having the task done!
You are PULLING yourself toward your goals
instead of pushing.
Big Difference!

My GIFTS to myself ....

You can practice this concept as it fits into your own life. Change "things to do" in your life into "things to GIVE yourself"!

"To Do"

"To GIVE myself"

The GIFT of healthy eating ....

Yes, this works with the tasks in your life. And taking care of yourself is one of the tasks in your life. Think about building your healthy eating style. Are there ways you could PULL yourself toward improved nutrition? You might focus on ENJOYING a nice lunch, instead of focusing on the task of packing your lunch. Think of GIVING yourself the tasty dinner you deserve, instead of concentrating on the task of cooking. The only difference is how you think about things. It can make all the difference in the world.

What gifts would you like to give yourself when it comes to your healthy eating style?
