Eating that frog; a mental trick
What do you do when your mind keeps telling you that it’s too hard a task?
Frustration is when you need to experience bungy jumping like you saw on that instagram video, but your mind keeps laying out all the possible scenarios that could go wrong.
Being terrified of doing something new is normal. In fact, it’s how you’re wired, it’s your minds’ job to keep you safe by avoiding all the ‘danger zones’.
This too shall pass
So how do you tackle that seemingly difficult task? In life, each of us has found ourselves in a difficult position at some point, but then we came out of it. That is the key! Remember that this too shall pass. How we approach tasks in life creates feelings and memories. Do you remember how you felt after studying and taking those tests? That off the shoulder feeling is very important, sometimes more than the results you get. Your mind screams I Did It! From that point on, that seemingly impossible task is no longer uncharted territory and this is how we became stronger mentally and beasts in our daily approach to life. Think about that feeling you will have after you’ve been courageous enough to get it over with.
