Incidentally(?) my brother in New York sent me this announcement, which at first sight looked to me as a fake, but now I think it is genuine: President Trump Urges National Shabbos for American Jews to Honor U.S. 250th Anniversary | VINnews.

The hard sale - in one Page . . .

This Will Get You Moving

Just start - that's it - Just start

 

If you don't start you won't know

 

And if you don't know

 

The fear will kick in

 

Why?
 

Because we are wired to fear

What we don't know

The brain is geared for survival

 

It asks one question

 

Every time you try to change

 

Every time you try to do something new


And that question is


"Will this action kill me?"

If it doesn't know

Then it will usually assume the worst

 

Because we fear the unknown


That's the root of racism, misunderstandings, hatred

 

What we don't know we fear


And that fear leads to pain


In the case of procrastination that pain can look like

 

Lost income

Lost relationships
Lost health

So what's the solution?

 

You need to know


You need to know the thing you are trying to do


So that your brain can get familiar with it


Once your brain knows that you are doing the thing

And that it hasn't killed you


The floodgates of your creativity, energy and intelligence


Will be opened for you to implement the project in full


But first you need to give yourself


Just a little taster

 

The 2 minute gateway activity 


To allow you to 'know' the thing


Instead of it being the 'unknown'

Need to setup a new CRM for your business?
- Open the site and take 2 minutes to read the reviews

Need to get your homework done?
- Open the book and read the first few lines

Need to get back to the gym?
- Lay out your gym clothes for the next day

What was strange becomes normal
What was a foe becomes family

So what your next 2 minute action?

You've got this!
