Often I focus on trying to find things I enjoy. I flipped that around and I tried to enjoy the things I had to do. I was less stressed, and more focused. At the end of the day I wasn’t looking for fun relaxing things to do, because I had made most things I did throughout the day enjoyable.

I like it. Enjoy the things you do. I’ve been thinking a little as well about having the energy/motivation to do things. Too often I go with the flow and I am left drained of energy and motivation to do anything. At times I’m wise and create that energy in me by changing my mindset and getting to work and doing it well. Doing the bare minimum is tiring and boring. Being engaged and motivated to do a good job or to go beyond the expected produces energy and good feelings. This allows me to enjoy what I’m going instead of dreading it and wishing I could do something elseonly. When I’m done with the task with a poor attitude I’m now too weary and drained to want to do anything else. I hope to remember that I can choose how I feel and how I react to things. With a little bit of self awareness and a positive attitude I can be happy, energetic and motivated no matter what I’m doing even if the task is naturally not fun, boring or tedious.
