Motivation – I just had to get up and go!
Earlier this week I planned to go to a yoga class at 7am. I am admittedly, not a morning person.
The alarm went off, my mind played mental tricks on me … “I can go next week…”, “I could sleep another ½ hour…”, “I’ll do yoga on my own…”. All the excuses that my brain offered up to keep me from achieving something I REALLY wanted to do! I love yoga. The feeling at the end of a class when your muscles are warm and you feel an inch taller is beautiful.
Motivation is a funny thing.
You truly just HAVE to do the things you want or need to do and reject or ignore the messages that say “do it later”, “do it tomorrow”, “it’s not that important”.
When you need to
- Write your resume
- Send networking emails
- Make connections on LinkedIn
- Apply for jobs
It’s likely your brain will look for ways to interfere or interrupt your plans. These things are not hard to do, but maybe they are not comfortable.
Put yourself out there, DECIDE – DECIDE to do what you need to do for the next career step you want to make.
