It’s uncomfortable. It’s awkward. It’s painful. I want to avoid it at all costs.
It’s Monday morning.
What is the feeling of dread? Why does it happen?
A feeing of dread comes from activities forced upon us that we don’t want to do. This can be school, work, or even home tasks. When we are forced to do tasks we don’t want to do - especially by external sources, but know we have to do them, this will create dread and an onslaught of negative feelings our brain will release and maybe even begin to spiral.
How can we overcome dread?
Dread comes from the immediate next action. Therefore, you can ask yourself,
“Is this next action aligned with my long-term goals and ultimately my values and principles?”
When your tasks aren’t aligned with your short-term goals, and your short-term goals aren’t aligned with your long-term goals, and your long-term goals aren’t aligned with your values and principles and ultimately your Why, this will create a disconnect in the chain and create dread.
Go back to your Why and values. Take a step back and see if this next task is aligned as part of your long-term plan you had set for yourself. Gain perspective.
The goal is to have every part of the chain aligned.
