Go ahead now

Whether or not you feel like doing something, before you do it, is beside the point. Instead, consider how much better you will feel after you’ve done it.

Envision yourself getting it done, and getting it behind you. That’s the way to feel like doing it.

The more difficult and burdensome the task, the more of a positive difference it will make to have it completed. Rather than avoiding it any longer, go ahead and claim that value.

Remind yourself of the reward that exists on the other side of the effort. Let the desire for that reward take precedence over your urge to escape the work.

Sooner or later, you won’t have any choice. You will need to do it.

So while you have the choice, make the one that’s best for you in the present and in the future. Go ahead now, and get it done.
