What to do when you don't feel like showing up to work

I was recently asked about what I do when I don't feel like showing up to work and this is what I said.

Sounds like a supervisor deceiving the employees

find a way to psych yourself out and get into a flow

This got me out of bed today! Thank you Pat! You truly are helping thousands of people achieve their dreams a day at a time!

Tricking your brain into performance takes a good emotional intellegence.
Very good point though. Respected!

To perform at the highest level of the game you gotta not only show up but also psych yourself into being excited and going for it 💯

i just want you to know you've made a huge impact on my life as a young entrepreneur. i first found your 90 second video on Facebook. Now i've subscribed to you and have watched many videos that have already changed my thinking and opened my eyes. Regardless if you see this or not. Thank you sir.

Those are people that enjoy doing what they do

what a terrible waste of life if you have to trick your self like that every day

[weipingchang]

Thanks! I really need this today. I know that I don’t really like my job but it pays for my bills. I’ve got other exciting projects on the way to be done. Let’s just finishing up this job today and move on!

You have to act or be in customer service mode all the time with business. You should show up no matter what. The best things come from that!

TL:DR- Focusing on being happy helped me love all things in life, even brutal days at work and more importantly the times before those brutal days lol.
Awesome advice as always Pat! I appreciate it
Fake it til you make it. That really works. I used to make a decent amount of money but was MISERABLE to my core. Now I’m technically poor but happier than ever lol.
I woke up one day and just decided to be happy. Literally. I kept focusing my thoughts on “I’m happy/I’m safe and happy” and steered away from my CONSTANT negative thoughts. After about 2-3 weeks I noticed I wasn’t even consciously trying to be happy, I just was!!

For me, the commute to work, and then the circulation of work flow during the day, became the routine that makes me feel alive and deserving of my evenings. Rarely, when life takes a turn for the worse, it is a psychological life-saver that reminds me that life goes on. It's also important to allow yourself to feel your emotions when your off of work so you can process and become wiser for it.

Yes If I would be an Entrepreneur I would do the same thing. But I’m working at a job that I hate. The reason for it is to pay the bills and on the other side I create my own business 😊

The military taught me very well. Just show up and that is 90 percent of it. Even if you poorly perform. Show up consistently those usually last the longest and are the best workers.but if you live off of how you feel then it's gonna be a long life for you

I don't want to show up. Don't want to win some competition. Just want to go out.

I work at home but I love it. Its all I want to do and I get to make money doing it. Best of all my 12 year old is my assistant.

This is true when the conditions are honest.
If you work somewhere where all the ppl are half-assing their work, there's a reason your intuition kicks in and you dont want to be around low frequency ppl.
I say, have a backup plan for those days when you do not feel like going to work (i.e stay home, polish your resume and apply for new jobs that increase your income by 50k-100k. You never know when one will turn into a golden opportunity.

[SpatialSpandex]

This advice applies to streamers as well. Thank you, Pat, for motivating us to show up to work.

[jamesfriesen]

And you've got to play it like a game... You've got to find a way to not be too serious, like it is life or death, and find a way to have fun with the challenges of the day.

[blacklyfe]

That is a unhealthy mindset and will make you depressed
