Each of us often expends mental energy avoiding tasks we dislike.

Ironically, we would be less exhausted if we had simply done the task right away without complaint.

That’s why I challenge you to “bite the bullet” this New Year and do what you dislike doing.

That means you’ll need to get over inner negativity that tells you it’s too hard or too uncomfortable.

Instead, you’ll have to stir up the inner coach that says, “I can do this.”

As you create a new pattern of living, you’ll find it will become easier to silence your inside critic.

That’s why it is good to remember Anne Grady’s words:

“The more you use a behavior or skill, the stronger and more habituated it becomes.” I’m Mac Hammond, and this is the Winner’s Minute.
