We have a tendency to avoid the hard parts. To postpone the difficult task and to procrastinate the ones that make us uncomfortable. No need to be ashamed though, that’s only a very human thing to do. Eat the frog is a technique that helps you go over that.

What happens when you eat the frog is that quite often you find out that the most anxiety was gained from exaggerating the task inside your head and not from the task itself. When done, it might even feel silly to be having such a strong discomfort towards it.
Another benefit of eating the frog is that if you were honest and really picked up your hardest task to be the frog, after that everything else seems so easy.

Sometimes we forget what makes us spark and end up in the endless loop of mundane tasks which leave us exhausted and with feeling that we haven’t done anything. I have some thoughts about that and a small challenge for you today, dive in!
Plan, do, execute, stay focused, be your best self all the time, repeat. The better and more you do, the better and more you are. And the more you do, the more you’re trying to do tomorrow. Look cool, create, meditate, listen some music, draw, paint, sell, upsell, grow, stay hydrated, be a good mother. …
