If you’re feeling impatient with your progress and wishing you could fast forward, flip to the back of the book, this bud’s for you.
Instead of snoozing your satisfaction and delaying (even denying) gratification till you reach your imaginary endgame, let’s try something different.
Use that happily ever after to your advantage.
Take a good look into that future to see what you expect to feel when you reach XYZ outcome.
How can you feel that now? Like a fruit infused water break… how can you add pleasure to the process today?
Reel it into the present.
Ex. I absolutely do want to finish and share my first book (and many after it!), but don’t feel inspired to work on it in a solo silo. That feels flat and too far removed from the “happily ever after,” because my favorite part is sharing my ideas with you in an organized, cohesive format.
I can add pleasure to the process by shortening the feedback loop and sharing behind-the-scenes of my creative process with you here via the podcast. I get to enjoy the magic of conversations all along the way, and BONUS - one day the book will be done!
Get what I’m saying?
Play with adding pleasure to your process.
Find creative ways to genuinely feel more content with the present, and you’re an instant winner.
Micro-happily ever afters.
Wee wee wee all the way home.
