It can be hard to muster the positive
outlook that fuels motivation and creativity. When we lose that positivity,
burnout and fatigue can quickly follow. How can you inject some optimism into
your day? This two-minute exercise can help. Each morning, finish the following
three sentences (either on paper, out loud, or even in your head) before you
turn on your computer or start your commute:
Today, I will
focus on _____.
Today, I am
grateful for _____.
Today, I will
let go of _____.
Make sure to be specific with your
answers; writing that you’re grateful for your mom every day won’t help.
Ultimately, we’re only awake for an average of 1,000 minutes each day. If we
can invest just two of them to prime our brains for positivity, then we’ll be
helping ensure the quality of other 998 minutes.
