The first step is to determine your priorities. If you have 10 tasks on your list, arrange them in order of importance from 1 through 10. Keep this little piece of information in front of you. Eighty percent of our worry comes from twenty percent of our tasks. If this is true then accomplishing the first two items on your task sheet will bring about a great deal of relief and, oddly enough, it begins to release in us the belief that we can accomplish our goals and it feeds us energy.
Nothing is more energizing than success.
After all, we are already lacking in motivation, our energy is low, and we are not real sure we can do anything at the moment. Remember you control your thoughts. So begin now to think positively. State your goal. Make it behaviorally specific, state what steps you will have to do to reach this particular goal.
