Someone recently said to me "I know what I have to do, but there's always something more fun and exciting to do, so I don't do what I have to"..... does this ever happen to you?
Whilst it's good occasionally to allow ourselves to do the fun and exciting stuff, we know that there are times when we have to be more disciplined and focus on the stuff that will get us ahead, to get the results that we want. For example, when you know you have to study but there's a great party happening....... - do you go to the party, or knuckle under, stay home and study?
What if there was a way that we could make the 'disciplined and focused' things more 'fun and exciting'? Wouldn't that change the way we look at it, and change our motivation to move forward and achieve our goals?
It's all a question of perception. There's usually a perception that a party will be full of people having great fun, and staying home to study or work will be tedious. But knowing that 'perception is projection', how about we project 'fun and excitement' onto the study and work. Focus initially on the fun of exploring new concepts or methods or the excitement of trying a new idea. Change location or music; involve other people if feasible; do a yoga stretch every 10 minutes - anything to make the way you do things different and more enjoyable. And finally, focus on the rewards you'll get once you've achieved your goal.
So next time you know you have to do something, use your 'fun and excitement' focus to achieve the discipline you need - and then it won't feel like discipline at all!
