Physical exercise, memory games, public speaking, cold showers… Commit to having a painful habit. Be dead serious about it. It can help you overcome your fears – having a painful habit is a powerful tool. Your habit can be a life-changer for you claims the addicted2success.com website. Here are the main reasons why you should have a painful habit.
1. It motivates you
Have you ever been challenged? It motivates you when you overcome obstacles, right? Well, a painful habit provides you the opportunity to challenge yourself regularly.
2. It fosters the right mindset for accomplishing difficult tasks
If you always try to put in as little effort as possible, any greater effort will seem too tough for you to deal with. Here is where the painful habit can help. It makes you comfortable, or at least used to being in challenging situations. You will accept that everything requires hard work. That is the right attitude.
3. You will handle uncomfortable situations
Getting used to change or new environments will no longer be a big deal. No big task will be intimidating. Networking in a room full of unfamiliar faces? Hah, no big deal – yesterday you went through a tough workout, that was much worse. The hotel you’re staying at doesn’t have hot water? Oh wait - that’s the only type of shower you take anyway!
4. You will become more solution oriented
A lazy, comfortable mindset doesn’t want to exert effort and comes up with reasons why something won’t work rather than with ideas to make it work. You will be more resistant as well.
5. Your belief will rise high
As you endure your painful habit, your confidence will increase. You will be ready to go at all times. No more time wasted thinking about doing something – you will be on high alert.
