My feeling is "Spoilt Brat" what's yours?

-
Moments after my shift ended I could feel the "lazy" coming on strong.

I sat back in my chair and started wasting time on all manner of distractions. This while knowing that I need to be productive, - working on my personal life -  But there is a time where you need to be laid back and take some weight off. You need to track yourself as you will know when you really need it or, when you are just being lazy.

So i devised the "Spoilt Brat" method. It's quite simple. Here's what you need to do. When you reach the end of a working day or certain activities and your attention starts drifting off you will notice an uncomfortable feeling. This feeling has many descriptions and it's up to you what you call it but for the sake of this exercise give it a name. This is a fun activity and you can get as creative as you like. 

Think of someone or something that you perceive as lazy. Now give your "Lazy" a name. Mine is Spoilt Brat... Now for the hard part. When you notice the feeling coming on, use the name you have selected and add it to the feeling you have. Now discipline your feeling as you would the "someone or something" reminding you of being lazy. In my case a "Spoilt Brat". - expects to receiving everything without doing anything - As soon as I relate to the example or comparison I have put on myself, my mood instantly changes. I get motivated by not wanting to be associated with my view of the "Spoilt Brat".

Give it a go, try it now, try it tomorrow but try it. If I can help you change your life for the better then I am putting a beating on the "Spoilt Brat".

Omnia Opus (Latin) – All Work (English) This will be the 'calling card' of my new venture. I have learnt so much about myself over the past year, it is unfathomable. I will be giving 110% of myself to the world and I should get a good return on my investment. “People never change”. The person that said that had no idea what life is about or how a person can change if the correct knowledge was gained. The most valuable lesson for me was not only to gain knowledge but how to apply said knowledge. Taking action is the key to life. I know that I am making this sound easy. I can tell you that it is not easy, but possible.

Get more out of your day, live your dreams.

Getting more out of your day should be easy, but see there is that thing called habit. As I previously mentioned in one of my articles, the human brain is designed to find the easiest or least painful way of doing something. You might think "well great, that i exactly what I need". Unfortunately in today's, day and age we can no longer afford to take the easy way out. The easy way normally leads us nowhere in a hurry. We procrastinate, get depressed and anxious about the dreams we have. Unfortunately we are doing this to ourselves by over thinking. The best advice I can give anyone here is not to see your imagined future as a fact. It has not happened yet, so how do you know? I am not referring to future outcomes you have experienced as part of a certain chain of actions resulting from habit. This is pretty much set in stone if you don't take the decisive action to change the habits giving you less than desirable outcomes. Let's look at your dreams. The dr

Productive waiting, a better use of time.

Waiting, you either like it or are so upset at the human factor causing your current frustration that you don't have the clarity of mind to realize that you are in control of what you do while you are waiting. Time brings me to the point of this little note. How important is your time to you? Time is worth far more than any monetary currency. You have a limited amount of time to live. Time spent waiting is equivalent to life time wasted. When you wait you are not doing anything to add value, or grow in any way. I am currently waiting on someone. Instead of being consumed by the misery that overthinking can bring on, I am taking this time to write about waiting. Why write? you might ask. This is a technique I use to help me understand a subject better, and I get to do something I enjoy. What could you be doing when you have no other option but wait? The possibilities are endless, even the act of solving the aforementioned problem is a blessing in itself. While thinking abou
