Say NO to Negative Thoughts

Being a firm believer in the Law of Attraction, I strongly believe that negative thought are going to make no good but attract the unwanted results that you'd definitely want to avoid. 

These thoughts will just give birth to doubts about your aims, pursuits and aspiration and these doubts will result in lukewarmness. The lack of enthusiasm results in lack of motivation and  and the mind doesn't want to explore. It gives birth to procrastination and a person isn't able to perform important tasks. The less important tasks are given importance and priority over the less important ones which results in lack of motivation and  dissatisfaction. 

Procrastination eventually gives birth to stagnation, the dream killer, and the worst condition where a person thinks that nothing is good or the world is the place where there are no luxuries or happiness. Negative thoughts eventually make a person create sense of failure and they lose their remaining abilities. 

5 Minutes Challenge

Here's the deal.

Time slips by us like crazy only if you let it. You can do a lot in 5 minutes. One minute we are doing one thing, the next minute we are doing something else. Most of our time is spent in useless activities. Most people don’t know what they are capable of doing in 5 minutes. Let’s analyze!

Step 1: Pick a Goal.

Let’s pick a goal to achieve in the next 5 minutes.

Step 2: Set a Timer.

Don’t forget to set the timer and put it on 5 minutes. Follow it if you are sitting in an examination room. (I use my iPhone!)

Step 3: Begin

Now see what you are capable of. You’ll achieve towards your goal in the next 5 minutes which you might not do in an hour, I bet. My goal was to write this post and I did it 1 and a half minute before. So now I decide to go above and beyond and share it here.

See how much you can achieve towards your goal within the set amount of time (5 minutes). For example, I told myself I would write this entire post in 5 minutes, so prior to starting, I set my timer, then began my challenge.

Once we go Above and Beyond, we can achieve greater results which include pushing the current goal further. This only happens as a result of spending time in doing right thing at the right time. In other words we can call it setting and achieving goals.

Stephen R. Covey, in his book, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, defines it with the help of four quadrants of time management.  If we don’t spend time in quadrant 2 activities then we are supposed to waste our time on useless activities.   

So what's your next 5 minutes goal?

Time's up.
