How to train your mind to do difficult things – 4 useful tips

You come home from work really tired and all you want to do is lie down in bed and get up the next day. “I will go for a run tomorrow, I have no energy today.” “The gym can wait until tomorrow.” “Let me order some food, I can’t cook right now.” “I will clean the house during the weekend.” These are just a few things you say to yourself during those times. We all have these days when all we want to do is lie down and look at the ceiling. Even the most successful people like Bill Gates do. But what sets them apart is that they have learned not to find excuses for anything. They have learned to train their mind so that it likes to do difficult things even when they do not want to. Yes, if you make the decision to exercise when you do not want to and have no energy then you are successful in a way. If you train your mind properly then you will do difficult things in other areas of your life and one day you will have progressed more than you could imagine.

Tip 1

Instead of trying to force your mind and fight against yourself, try to influence your mind. This way the resistance will be less. For example, if someone orders you to eat an apple while you do not like apples, you will refuse. But if they start telling you how juicy and delicious the apple is then you will probably think about it again. So your mind makes its own choices and creates a desire on its own.

Tip 2

Instead of focusing on what needs to be done, ask yourself, “What if I don’t do it?” For example, if you have decided to go to the gym three days a week but in the end you don’t go at all? Think that you will lose your gains, that the hard work you did will be lost, that the goal you had to have a 6 pack by the end of the year will not finally become a reality. People are more motivated by what they lose than by the reward. Your brain will not take the risk of not doing the difficult thing.

Tip 3

Even your indecision is ultimately a decision. “Should I go to the gym or not?”,you wonder. Indecision is ultimately a decision because it has its own costs. You say “no” to the opportunities you have in front of you. In addition, your indecision also consumes time. And time, as you know, is precious.
