Dear Creators,

What is one thing you dislike that is part of your routine - a task, a duty, something you consider a necessary but not so pleasant must? This very “thing” could provide you with a good opportunity to practice making conscious choices to enhance your well being.

This week the question is, “What conscious improvement, change could I make in a task I consider unpleasant?”

Here are some possible ways to shift thinking, perception around this…

- Timing – when does this usually take place? Is there another time that would be better suited to doing this? Is it better to be early, fresh? To put it between other things? To leave it to the end of the day?

- Order – what about the process? Are there changes that could be made in the order of doing this? What steps happen at what point?

- Environment – where does this take place, what are the surroundings? Does the environment support the task?

- What’s the value of doing this? What makes this worthwhile? What is the end result you are seeking?

- How is this task connected to a larger picture?

- Does this have to be done all at once? Is it something to block out an amount of time to focus on this task without distractions, or is this something to break into small pieces and do bit by bit?

- Is this a task that can be shared? Must it be done alone, by you?

- What supplies, information, equipment is needed to get the job done? Have enough at hand as you focus your attention on the task.

The point is to choose, to be aware that you can make changes. That is being a conscious creator. Choose the thought you have around that task, choose your methods and align your actions.

Good thoughts,

Judy
