When theres something coming up soon that you want to do a great job at, you have some options about how to think about it…
You can try and ignore it.
You can picture yourself doing a bad job at it.
You can picture yourself absolutely nailing it (and having fun in the process).
It seems a bit of a no brainer, right?
But how many times do you find yourself picturing the thing not working out?
For me, it’s a regular internal conversation; I picture the thing and it’s a version that I kind of dread.
I have to change it on purpose.
What would it look like if it wen’t really well? What would it look like if it were easy? What would it look like if it were actually a lot of fun?
It’s easy to forget, but we can change the pictures we make in our head to match what we want.
