Instead of coming up with excuses to stop the work, I like to come up with ones that keep the emotional labor going. Excuses like:
I don’t have time to feel stressed.
People are counting on me to deliver.
I’d be mad if someone screwed me over by not showing up.
It’s the right things to do.
They’ll see the big picture in the end, I just need to get there.
They’re going to judge me if I stop.
Losing isn’t even an option.
Stay Positive & It’s All A Mind (And Heart) Game
