Perspective Is The Key

It all starts with how you see things

Here’s a phrase I’m trying to eliminate from my vocabulary – “I have to…”

“I have to go to work.”
“I have to go to the gym”
“I have to eat healthily”
“I have to see my family”
“I have to see my friends”

And on and on.

What kind of message does “I have to…” send to your subconscious mind? Your mind can interpret this as something you’re doing reluctantly or worse yet, something you’re doing against your will. Instead, try to replace the word “have” with “get.” Just look at the difference in these two phrases. “I have to go to work.” “I get to go to work.” The former implies drudgery, the latter has endless possibilities. It is all about perspective!
