Do you like what you’re doing?

What if you don’t, but you have to do it?

Well, you don’t HAVE to "not" like it. For some reason, you just don’t.

So how about if you decided to try to like what you’re doing? Do you think you could? Great! Here's how.

Look at the picture you’ve made in your mind about the work you are doing. How far away from you is it? Bring it closer. Closer. Closer. Bring it as close as you can and still be comfortable with it.

TIP: If you bring it too close or put it too far away, it will be either uncomfortable or blah. We don’t want that.

OK. Now, that it’s comfortable, give it some color. More. Make it brighter. Play around with it. Now, put some sound in it. Your favorite song, the wind, dogs barking, what people are saying to you, what you are thinking, whatever. Now, if you want to put a scent in it, one that makes you feel in control, do that.

TIP: As an example: I love Christmas candles, they make me feel all . . . Christmasy. Which scents make you feel in control and comfortable with yourself?

Now, put some movement in it. Maybe if you’re outside, the grass is blowing in the wind. Maybe you are moving. Keep playing with it until you like what you’re doing, and realize that you are on the right track. Now, just for fun, keep playing with the picture until you find you "really, really" like what you are doing. What a concept, huh?

Now, is there any reason you can’t like what you do? Isn’t it great, being in charge of your mind?
