I trained my brain to love doing the dishes bc that is my "day dreaming time", my brain turns off and my "autopilot" self turns on and, im off scouting future house locations, looking at beautiful views and thinking about how its going to look, and before you know it, I check back in and my WHOLE kitchen is sparkling CLEAN. Did I do it? Nope. I was busy. But our autopilot self is there EXACTLY for, those reasons. ❤

The timing is just incredible. I've been procrastinating a lot and the chronic unproductivity is starting to wear me down. I really hope this helps.

[chiarabertoni_]

She’s literally incredible. She makes me feel so powerful and in peace ♥️

The problem is not the problem, it’s our attitude about the problem that’s the problem....It’s all about perspective for sure. Love you, Teal! 💕

Here is another one: I don't like meetings with more than 10 people. They don't go anywhere, and tend to be stale, boring and time-consuming.

However, I like focusing, and I like looking at group dynamics, among other things (I can have more than 3 of such motivations at a given moment). So I now attend meetings with these intentions, and look for example at the way people sit and how people copy how other people sit. Or I concentrate really fully on the person speaking, and then use my peripheral vision to see the nonverbal response from others. And this makes meetings into an exercise of focusing and teaches about group dynamics. And those things I find incredibly interesting, not boring at all.

One of the very best aspects of your lessons is that you give EXAMPLES. Honestly, it's what sets you apart from other channels that I watch. Sure, sometimes others give examples, but oftentimes they don't quite work, seem contrived, or there simply aren't enough of them to really drive the point home. Without good and multiple examples, people are just ... saying things.

Thank you Teal Swan.
I am focusing on my motivation.
I have no goal.
I have no interest in making money.
But I love serving people with kindness, Justice, Finance, Healthy habits.

Teal, in the last 2 weeks we met twice in the astral realm, in the first one, you came to me as you and then you switched into a dragonfly blue one, as blue as your backround :D, and in the second one we we're dressed in rainbow colours . obviously the dreams are more complex, but i m gonna resume it to that . both times you were to me as a soul friend, assisting and guiding me thorugh the journey . and i wanna give thank's in this physical realm as well . much love and appreciation, thank you beautiful soul . wholeness <3

[davidwaynechoate]

You're really good at understanding People. Please don't ever use that for Bad reasons. "If You wish to convince someone to do Your will, appeal to Their Desires".

I HATE washing the dishes....but I LOVE a clear kitchen done!!

[bkezszt]

Listening to podcasts = motivated to do dishes

[ElijahPerrin]

few years ago I ... guess I had a break down, threw away everything that didn't serve me including my job without any thought of repercussion or loss, I suddenly didn't care about anyone's opinion of me and I turned my back on most of what I was motivated into doing and walked away. I learned how to grow Cannabis and I haven't looked back, I didn't have to make motivation, that is how I got to my breakdown by motivating myself into being something I am not, you are absolutely right but make damn sure your motivation is something you want and can handle long term or it will be an act. Now I am abundance

[LifeofMinna]

thank you, needed this. I'm doing clinical practice and I hate it. 1.5 months to go. I'll focus on the positive goal and on trying to do the best I can and growing as an individual during this time

[valmatt]

Love love love...so much insight!! I will get thru this(what im going thru) leave unhelthy ppl to be, instead of trying to understand them, , not everyone self reflects. They have an agenda, to push others down, it gives them a sick sense of pwer over. When they push you to the point of crying, the smirk, pleasure on their face! I am away from it now. I am low, currently. Not allowing others to define me. Thank you Teal, you are a true gift, much appreciation!!😊

[tsovka]

I love to dream and use my affirmations while washing the dishes.

I have this goal of writing just one sentence daily, and I am experiencing resistance and dread even at this. Then after watching this I realized I had the wrong motivation in doing this. I was imposing a "should" on myself in order to become "successful", when I didn't really care about it. So after watching this vid, I reframed my motivation to wanting to make awesome art, like Narnia or LOTR. I got more motivated and actually did it.

[MegJ]

I am motivated by:
- Looking beautiful and being perceived as such
- Being given credit/recognition for an accomplishment
- Successfully living up to a high moral code and idealistic character traits
- Being first/winning
