(~) In the Mood

Do you ever avoid what must be done because you're just not in
the mood? How many opportunities and possibilities are never
fulfilled because you were not in the mood when it was time for
action?

Whose mood is it, anyway? It's yours, and you have the option of
adjusting your mood to serve your purposes. There are times
when the best things in life will not wait until your mood happens
to be right. There are times when it is in your best interest to put
yourself in the mood for what must be done.

If you're not in the mood to do some particular task, there's a
quick and easy way to put yourself in the mood. Simply visualize,
clearly, richly and in full detail, how great it will feel to already
have the job done.

The more you don't feel like doing it, the more you will want to
have it done. Focus intensely on the benefits of having it done
and that will put you in the mood to go ahead and get it done.

Your feelings have a powerful influence on you. So focus them in
a positive, productive direction and let them push you forward.
