How To Make Yourself Do What You Don't Want to Do


1. Rather than listening to the voice in your head that is screaming “I hate this; I don’t want to do this” think about why it is a GOOD thing to do.

2. Instead of trying to pretend that you don’t feel this way, accept that you are feeling negative.


3. Don’t think about results and how well you think you’ll do, as this could raise your feelings of anxiety and fear, just think about “right now” and the first thing you can do.


4. Accept that life is tough, and is full of things that are hard – but recognize that doing hard stuff is better in the end. You’ll likely have more choices and freedom, if you do.


5. Just do a little bit for now – then give yourself a proper break – then go back and do some more – and soon you’ll find you’re in the flow.


6. Don’t allow your mind to wander and think of other things. Stay focused for that short time – and then stop, and have fun.

5 Ways to Help You Become Confident Without Being Arrogant



1. Be Approachable – People tend to be uncomfortable around those who are stand-offish or keep their distance from others. Being warm and friendly will help put others around you at ease.
 
2. Be Genuine – People who are not transparent, insincere, give false complements, and/or try to impress others can be spotted a mile away. The antidote is to be who you truly are. Be a “real person” and do not put up a front. 

3. Be Humble – Share praise with others every time you get the opportunity. Give others credit for what they do well.

4. Listen to people and be willing to ask for advice – The proud know-it-alls never wants input from others. They do not value the viewpoints of others. We appreciate it when others want to learn from our experience, or when they want to know what we really think.

5. Recognize your weaknesses and mistakes – Doing this will move you up the likeable scale in a big way because you will appear more human.
