September 29th - Tell yourself a different story
Sep 29, 2025
The stories you tell yourself about your tasks matter.
So often, we say things like:
-
“This is going to be awful.”
-
“It’ll take forever.”
-
“I hate doing this.”
But those stories don’t just describe your task, they shape your experience of it. If you expect it to be terrible, every minute feels heavier.
What if you told yourself a better story?
-
“This won’t take as long as I think.”
-
“I’ll feel amazing when it’s done.”
-
“I can make this easier with coffee, music, or a timer.”
Changing the story doesn’t change the task—but it changes you. And that shift can make all the difference in getting started.
