If I were to ask you repparttar

percentage of time you spend thinking about what you don’t want, what would it be? And repparttar 106927

percentage of time thinking about what you do want?

Experience with my clients has shown me that most of us spend a lot more time thinking about what we don’t want. Some examples when it comes to our job include:

qI hate my commute. qI am not challenged at my job. qI wish I didn’t have to travel so much. qI miss my family. qI have no energy. qI don’t get paid enough.

And repparttar 106928 list goes on and on. By repparttar 106929 end of repparttar 106930 day we have spent on average 70-80% of repparttar 106931 day thinking about things we don’t want.

Now, what happens when we put our attention on things? They usually come to pass right? Have you ever been really clear on something you wanted, thought about it, took action to get it and finally got it?

Well repparttar 106932 same works for repparttar 106933 things you don’t want. The more attention you put on them, repparttar 106934 more you get of them. If you want to get out of work that doesn’t satisfy you and find work that does, then you will need to take your attention off of repparttar 106935 things that keep you dissatisfied and put it on what you think will satisfy you.

The best way to do that?

Turn your “don’t wants” into “do wants” - The list above is all about things you don’t want, simply flip them into things you do:

qI hate my commute becomes, “I want a short commute.” qI am not challenged at my job becomes, “I want a job that challenges me.” qI wish I didn’t have to travel so much becomes “I want a job where I don’t have to travel so much.” qI miss my family becomes, “I want a job that has better work life balance.” qI have no energy becomes, “I want a job that gives me energy.” qI don’t get paid enough becomes, “I want a job that pays me what I think I’m worth.”
