Your future self will thank you for the action you take today! So think of her when your present self is dragging her feet!
This is one wee mindset trick I use to help me take actions today that I might not feel like taking!
As with all the things I suggest it comes from a place of lightness and play though.
This is not a chance to beat up your present self – put the gloves away – give her wee ‘get outta here’ kind of nudge, while acknowledging that no you don’t want to do the thing – BUT – you want the future outcome, so you’re going to do it!
Then figure out how to make it joyous – throw some 90’s tunes on, sing along as you do the food prep or fold the washing.
I think about how my future self will feel if I do or don’t do the thing, and generally, my future self will thank me.
Remember your present self, is just a moment in time, she also creates your future self, so give her a hug, a high five, tell her she’s got this and get on with doing the thing and making it something to enjoy!
