You'll Know...


Having got out of the habit of writing daily - it's now a strange sensation to be writing twice within the space of twelve hours!

Well...that's the human mind and creativity for you!

It seems as if we spend so much time struggling to focus on what we should be doing that, quite often, trying to FORCE something out is the worst that we can do.

I know...I've tried it! Many times.

For example...I enjoy writing this stuff (whether you enjoy reading it or not!)...yet it would be awful if I HAD to do it at a certain time or day just because I HAD to.

And that's with something that I LOVE to do!

Imagine how bad it then gets if it's something that that you DON'T really enjoy doing!

Enough said.

The trick is to make the most of those times when you are in the 'flow' - and are able to do things almost effortlessly.

Yes...even I have been known to actually purposefully WANT to cut my grass (even though it's one of those things that always gets put off!)

Nothing changed...but my THOUGHTS about it did...that was all.

If you are in one of those "Let's Go!" moods - then you can usually tackle those things that you don't always want to.

And the easiest way to get into one of those moods?

Don't pressure yourself. (Not - I don't mean get lazy!)

What I mean is that usually, if something is IMPORTANT enough to you, you WILL eventually get it done.

Except that, quite often...most things are that important because they aren't really linked to WHY you do what you do.

If I know that I want to be successful in my business...I know that I need to develop many different skills.

Most of which may push me a little out of my comfort (or for most people - their "I can't be bothered") zone.

Yet - I know that, if I need to do something by next Tuesday - then, as long as it gets DONE by next Tuesday - it's irrelevant whether I get it done a week before, 2 days before...or even stay up to 2.a.m. the night before working on it!

As long as it gets done.

If you're not in the right frame of mind to do something (especially where creativity is required) - then, please, don't force yourself to do it!

Just wait.

You'll KNOW when it's the right time, believe me.
