Often we overestimate how difficult or energy consuming a task will be and we procrastinate. We exaggerate and move away from what seems difficult or painful and move towards familiar and pleasurable acts. The key here is to know that we are in fact, exaggerating and the same imagination that is creating the negative exaggeration can reverse it. So next time you are struggling to get something done, start using your imagination to create a different story. It may not feel real at first but the more you embellish and imagine all the benefits--the better chance you have to start.
