When motivation drops, skip affirmations and ask yourself "How am I going to do this?" instead. The question forces your brain to find concrete solutions rather than just pump yourself up. She uses running and work examples to show how this shifts you from vague resolve to actual planning.
I can take off my mask for a little bit because there's no one out here. But I just had a call with someone and they said, I'm really struggling sticking with this process or trying to grow their business, and it's not working. But she goes, I know it's just a matter of time. I stick with it. How do I stick with it when I know I should stick with it, but I don't feel that I can stick with it? There's a technique I've discovered and it works for me. I use it actually when I'm running, I use it for work whenever I know I need to kind of push through. And what it is, is not affirmations saying, you know, I got this, I can do this. Push yourself. In fact, it's actually not using affirmations, using a question, how am I going to do this? By simply saying how I'm going to do something, I actually start finding the solutions to it. So don't say, I am going to stick it out saying, how am I going to stick it out? And you'll start finding your answer. Perhaps that's your weekly wake up.
