Feeling Stuck? Shift Your Perspective with This Simple Trick!
Sep 30, 2024
Ever find yourself putting off those annoying chores? I know I do…
We all have things we’d rather not do—chores, errands, responsibilities that just feel like a drag. I’m right there with you. Just the other day, I found myself avoiding some backend business tasks that I really don’t like doing. I realized I was only making it harder on myself by procrastinating and letting it affect my mood. And that got me thinking—this is the perfect topic for this week’s mindful moment.
We’ve all been there. Faced with a to-do list full of things we’d rather not do. It’s easy to slip into a funk and carry that bad mood through the entire day, snapping at others or just feeling grumpy. But here’s the thing: our attitude doesn’t change the fact that these tasks need to be done. It just makes everything feel worse. So, I want to encourage you to shift your perspective, just as I did.
When we’re up against tasks we don’t like—whether it’s cleaning, paying bills, work projects, or even visiting a challenging friend or relative—changing how we think about these things can make all the difference. And hey, it’s okay to feel frustrated or annoyed at first. We’re human! The trick is not to be hard on ourselves for having those feelings. Instead, let’s try to find a different angle.
For example, when I’m cleaning my house (which isn’t exactly my favorite thing), I try to focus on how amazing it will feel when everything is fresh and tidy. I think about how much I love the space I’m creating for myself—a little slice of heaven. Or when I’m slogging through those business tasks, I remind myself that I’m fortunate to have a thriving business and the opportunity to work for myself.
Every chore, errand, or responsibility can be transformed from a burden into something we can appreciate, or at the very least, see as a necessary step toward a better outcome. This week, I invite you to join me in being aware of our perspectives. The next time you feel yourself getting sour about something you have to do, try to shift your view. Notice how your mood and attitude begin to change.
