“The measure of your success ordinarily comes down to who wins the battle that rages amidst the two of you. The ‘you’ who wants to stop, give up, or take it easy, and the ‘you’ who chooses to beat back that which would stand in the way of your success – complacency.” Chris Widener

In all of my interactions with people, I’ve never found anyone, disregarding of their level of success, who doesn’t once in a while find themselves merely not wanting to do the things that they need and want to do. It is a percentage of humane nature that there will be times that, in spite of all that we need to do, and even desire to, we will find ourselves not wanting to do anything. And what separates those who will become successful from those who will maintain the status-quo, is the capacity at those very indispensable moments of time when we are making conclusions when it comes to what we will do, to choose to find the inner motivation that will enable us to conquer our complacency and move on in action.

I find that I confront this issue in my life on a regular basis, so the following success systems are not merely “pie in the sky techniques”, but proven ways to get yourself to go even when you don’t feel like doing anything.

Honestly evaluate whether or not you need a break. This is the firstborn thing that I commonly do what I find that I don’t want to get to a specific action. The fact is that many times we will have been working very hard and the lethargy we are sentiment is genuinely our body and emotions telling us that we plainly need a break. And this is where it takes real intellectual honestness because when we don’t need a break our mind is still telling us we need a break! But now and again we do need a break. I’ll give you a good example. I don’t in particular like to exercise, but I do closely each day. Sometimes, I find myself before going to the club thinking with regards to how I just didn’t feel like going. Most of the time I am just being lazy. However, from time to time I realize that my body needs a break. So from time to time I will take a one or two day break from working out. The gains of this are two-fold: One, my body gets a break to revitalize itself. Two, after a day or two, I commence to miss my workout, and eagerly expect a turning to the gym.

Other examples: Perhaps you are a salesman who has been phoning clients for a week straight, day and night. You wake up one morning and just don’t feel like doing it any more. Well, take a break for the morning. Go to a coffee shop and read the paper. Go to the driving range and hit a good deal of golf balls. Take a break and then get back to it!

Starts small. I’m at a point in my workout schedule now where a typical workout day for me comprises of 30 to 45 minutes of aerobic exercise, and when it comes to 30 minutes of weight lifting. So when I find myself not wanting to get up and go to the gym, I will most times make a dedication to go and just do a littler workout. Instead of resolving not to go, I’ll commit to doing 15 to 20 minutes of aerobic exercise and 15 to 30 minutes of weight lifting. This is likewise good for two reasons. One, I actually get a great deal of exercise that day. And two, it keeps me from getting into a cycle of giving up when I don’t feel like moving toward action.

Other examples: Maybe you are a writer who merely doesn’t want to write today. Instead of the long day writing you had planned, determine that you will at least outline a couple of new articles. You will at least get these done, and you may have found that you put yourself into the writing mood after all.

Change your routine. I have found that what keeps me in the best shape and burns the most calories for me, is to do 30 to 45 minutes on the treadmill each day. Now let me be very blunt. I find running on the treadmill to be exceedingly boring. Usually I may get myself to do it, but on occasion I need to vary my routine. So rather of 30 to 45 minutes on a treadmill, I will break down my aerobic exercise procedure into a number of dissimilar areas. I will do ten to 15 minutes on treadmills, 10 to 15 minutes on the reclining cycle, 5 to 10 minutes on the rowing machine, 5 to 10 minutes on the stair stepper, and then back on to the treadmill for five to 10 minutes. I still get my exercise, but I’m bored a lot less.

Other examples: Maybe you are in construction and you have been working on the plumbing for a week, and it is getting monotonous. Don’t do the plumbing today! Go frame-in the office.

Reward yourself. One way that I motivate myself to do something when I don’t feel like doing it, is to tell myself that if I get through the work that I need to, I will give myself a little reward. For instance, I may tell myself if I to get up and go to the club I may take five to 10 minutes off my treadmill exercise, which will shorten my workout routine, and I’ll concede myself to sit in the hot tub for a few extra minutes. Hey, it works!

Other examples: Maybe you are a mortgage broker who feels like sleeping in. Tell yourself that after the next three mortgages you close you will take your kids to the fair, or your spouse to the movies. Maybe you’ll give yourself a night on the town with old friends.

Reconnect the action with pleasure rather than pain. Psychologists have long told us that we people tend to connect each action with either pleasure or pain. Tony Robbins has extrapolated this even further in the last few years with something he calls Neural Associations. That is, we connect each action with either a pleasure, or pain. When we are finding ourselves missing out motivation, what we are in all likelihood finding regarding ourselves is that we are associating the action that we are thinking regarding with pain, rather than pleasure. For instance, when I’m giving careful consideration to that not going to the health club on any given day, I am normally associating going and working out with having no time, the pain of exercising and weight lifting, or the boringness of running on a treadmill for an extended amount of time of time. What I may do to re-associate is to remind myself that by going in and doing my exercise I will feel better in regards to myself, I will lose weight, and I will live longer. This brings me pleasure. When we start out to run those kinds of tapes through our minds, we find our internal motivating strength unleashed and altering our attitude when it comes to the action that we are considering.

Other examples: Maybe you are a counselor who actually doesn’t want to spend the day listening to people. Your association may be that it will be boring, or that you will be inside while it is sunny outside. Instead, re-associate yourself to the truth of the matter: Someone will be better off because of your care and concern. Think of your clients and the progress they have been making not long ago and how you have been a part of that.

Excellent cookbook, but deceptively titled
By Leta Rogers
First, I do take delight in this cookbook. Everything I have made from it has been wonderful, and if you like the recipes in “Simply the Best: 250 Prizewinning Family Recipes” then I think you will like the recipes in this book. They are more or less more gourmet and less homey than the recipes in “Simply the Best,” so if “Simply the Best” was pushing the edge of the exotic envelope for you, then you might prefer a dissimilar WW cookbook than this one for your next purchase.

The book is organized into three color-coded subsections (15 minute, 20 minute, and 30 minutes) and each section is organized into breakfast, lunch, and dinner recipes. Many of the lunch recipes would also work well for dinner or as part of dinner. This is the sort of cookbook that you will get enjoyment from sitting down with and sticking post-it notes to promising recipes.

However, I give this book 4 stars rather of 5 because the preparation times for the recipes are often times deceptive. They are not the times for fixing these recipes from get started to finish, they assume that you have already performed your preps. So, a 30 minute recipe might not include the time for pulling all of the ingredients out of the pantry and refrigerator, and tasks such as slicing raw chicken breasts or steak into strips, chopping onions, mincing garlic, chopping parsley, or peeling, deseeding, and slicing cucumbers. The cookbook “Desperation Dinners” by Beverly Mills and Alicia Ross (not a lowfat cookbook), for example, is veritably a 20 minute start-to-finish recipe cookbook; this one is not, altho in most cases the actual time will not be too much more than the stated time. One exception is the Apricot Glazed Pork Skewers with Mango Quinoa, which is supposed to be ready in 30 minutes. Even if your preps are all ready in front of time I think you’d be hard-pressed to prepare this dish in beneath 45 minutes. The 30 minutes includes thinly slicing 1-1/2 pounds of pork tenderloin and threading it onto 12 skewers, which alone took me a good 15 minutes.

One thing I like when it comes to this cookbook is that it at long last got me to try cooking with Fat-Free Half-and-Half, and I have been very pleased with the recipes that use this, such as a Creamy Cauliflower Soup (saute leeks in a little olive oil, add frozen cauliflower and canned chicken broth, simmer, puree, then finish with FF Half-and-Half, nutmeg, and S&P). My favorites recipes in this book, so far, are the Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes, Greek Chicken Pasta Toss, Chicken with Spicy Marmalade Glaze, Chicken Tacos with Salsa Verde Cream, and Sesame Glazed Shrimp with Snow Peas and Baby Corn.

Real World Cooking!
By Robin Currier
I love cookbooks, and read them like novels. (After all, if you’re always dieting, curling up with good cookbook gives galore of the pleasure of eating a good meal, but with no calories!)

I have various hundred cookbooks, but how numerous do I actually use when I cook? Well, this one, definitely. If you are looking for simple, quick, low fat recipes, I can’t commend this book too highly. When I’m stuck for a quick dinner, this cookbook is where I look first. The recipes are very quick and they for the most part use mutual ingredients you may speedily pick up at the grocery store or might have on your pantry shelves already.

By the way, in addition to listing nutrtional selective information for each recipe, each recipe likewise gives Weight Watchers points (if you are a Weight Watcher, you know what I mean), and diabetic exchanges. So, I think this would likewise be a great cookbook for diabetics as well as those of us who are attempting to lose weight.

Simple, Convenient, & Elegant
By K. Collins
As a recent fellow member of weight watchers, and a long-time cooking fanatic, I find that this book satisfies not only both sides [the healthful and the adventurous] but likewise saves time. The book’s design is all when it comes to speed and convenience. the recipes are easy to read and follow, and each section is neatly coordinated to aid you find the recipe you want quickly. Although each recipe does not have it is own photo, there are many, a heap of sumptuous photos allround the book that represent the global culture [from Mexico to Italy to Thailand]. Other nice features include the points and nutritional breakdown on the bottom of each page, serving suggestions, and a great deal of white space on each page so you may add your own notes or personal flair. It is unquestionably the type of book that will effortlessly become a cooking reference for anybody who wants to eat healthful with precious time to spend.
