Edward W. Smith, motivational speaker, author and TV show host, who
specializes in quick tips on how to move your life ahead even faster, offers
the following advice. The secret to starting something when you don't feel like
it, is using what he calls the "Act As If" technique.
With this technique, you act as if you feel like doing something, even though
you don't. You go through the motions of doing what you are avoiding, and act
happy and excited about doing it.
You exaggerate your feelings on the positive
side, while you are beginning to perform the task. Your body "fools"
your mind into thinking you really want to do the task, and your mind changes
itself into a positive view about the project. This works on basic mood changes
as well.
If you are in a bad mood and want to be in a good mood, you would
stand up, march around the room with your head high, smiling, signing and
acting happy. Within 3 minutes you really will be in a good mood.
So, try it out for yourself. What do you have to
lose?
