Are you struggling with something in your life?

A message from Noelyne...

Do you stuggle with something that you are doing? A daily task that leaves you feeling tired and exhausted?  Something that was supposed to bring joy and happiness but turned out to be a chore?  Does your body ache every morning at the thought of having to do this task?  Did you think it was going to be easier that it actually is?  Did you expect to share the responsibility with the rest of the family only they all seem to have more urgent things to do so it's left to you to do this task?

When you don't really want to do something your mind is set in negative mode.  Your thoughts then affect your physiology and how you are feeling, which in turn affects your performance and the results you get.  When you are in this state even the simplest of tasks becomes a mountain to climb, you take longer and you don't enjoy it.  The downward negative spiral continues, the task gets harder and the results poorer, which re-enforces the fact that you don't really want to be doing this in the first place.

Have you noticed how when you really realy want to do something you feel enthusiastic and full of energy at the thought?  You approach the task positively and get amazing results.  The time flies by and you can't wait until it's time to do it again.

If you have something in your life that you really don't want to do or something that is not adding value to your life then look at your reason for doing it.  Is it something that is essential?  Is it something that doesn't matter and no-one would notice if it stopped? 

If it's essential and something you are not able to stop or share responsibility with then look at your mindset.  How do you feel about the task?  Then choose to feel grateful that you are able to do it.  Choose to enjoy the task.  Remember the reason for doing it.

If it's not essential then consider stopping.  If you choose not to stop then change your mindset, remember what's in it for you and get on with it.

Enjoy the process of life,
