All right,
Let's be honest.
You've got something on your list right now,
Don't you?
Something that's been hanging over you.
Maybe it's a work task.
Maybe it's something for your business.
Maybe it's just folding that pile of laundry that's been staring at you for days.
And every time you think about it,
Your brain does that thing.
You know the thing.
It whispers,
Ah,
Not right now.
This feels like too much.
Ah,
Maybe later.
And so later comes,
And you still don't do it.
And now it's sitting there,
Taking up mental space,
Making you feel behind and draining your energy even though you're not even working on it.
But what if I told you the problem isn't that you're lazy?
It's not that you lack discipline or motivation.
It's just that the task feels harder than it needs to be.
And when something feels hard,
We avoid it.
It's just human nature.
That's why the trick isn't to force yourself to work harder.
It's to make it easier.
Yep,
Easier.
Because here's the truth.
The easier something feels,
The faster you'll do it.
Let's do a quick shift together.
I want you to take a deep breath in,
Hold it for 3,
2,
1,
And exhale.
Now,
Think about that one thing you've been avoiding.
Don't judge it,
Just notice it.
Now,
Instead of thinking,
I have to do this whole thing,
Ask yourself,
How can I make this ridiculously easy?
I mean,
Stupidly easy,
Seriously,
So easy your brain just can't say no.
Maybe that means shrinking the task down to one tiny step.
Maybe that means removing the extra steps that make it feel overwhelming.
Or maybe that means pairing it with something fun to make it feel lighter,
Like listening to music or grabbing a cup of tea while you do it.
Let's make it real.
Imagine your task is writing an email.
Instead of telling yourself,
I need to sit and write this whole thing,
What if you just opened your inbox?
That's it,
Just open it.
Or if your task is working out,
What if you just put on your sneakers?
Or if your task is cleaning up your space,
What if you just picked up one thing?
Why does this work?
Let's go a little deeper.
Your brain is wired to resist big actions.
But tiny,
Easy actions?
Your brain doesn't fight those.
And once you start,
Your mind shifts,
Your body moves,
And your momentum builds.
And suddenly,
That thing you were dreading,
You are already doing it.
Close your eyes for a moment and picture a massive staircase in front of you.
And at the very top,
Your finished task.
Now imagine looking up at that top step and thinking,
That is so far away,
I don't want to climb all those stairs.
So you don't.
But what if,
Instead of thinking about the whole staircase,
You just focused on the first step?
Just one.
What happens?
You can step up once,
And you step up once.
And then stepping up again feels a little easier.
That's how progress works.
That's how momentum starts.
Let's log this in with some action,
Shall we?
I want you to take a moment and ask yourself,
What is one thing I can do right now that feels ridiculously easy?
Maybe it's opening up your laptop.
Maybe it's writing three words.
Maybe it's just standing up and stretching.
Whatever it is,
Just do it now.
No pressure,
No overthinking.
Just one micro win.
Right now,
Make your task easier.
This is a challenge for you.
I want you to do this right now and have a micro win.
I want you to make that task that you're thinking about easier for yourself.
Shrink it down.
Remove the friction.
Just give yourself permission to take just one easy step.
That's it.
That's your shift for today.
Come back to this any time you need a reset.
You got this.
Keep going.
