Fighting The Urge To Quit

in #life6 years ago

The feeling of quitting a task, job or something, happens to us at some point in our lives. It could that, you are not getting the result you wanted, or you are fed up with what you doing, or you think there is no future in what you doing. You should also know that quitting is always wrong but it shouldn't be your first reaction whenever you are faced with a challenge.

Quitting shouldn't be your reaction whenever a challenge comes your way. You can do the following, whenever the option of quitting is trying to overpower you.

  • Push Yourself: Never you feel the urge to quit, you should tell yourself that you possess the ability to beat the odds. When you tell yourself not to quit in spite of the challenges you are facing, this self-motivation tends to make you feel that you can make the impossible possible.

  • Inspiration: If pushing your self is not enough, you should try and look for an inspiration. You can find a mentor who give you some pep talk to keep going on. You can also look up stories of great men that made in spite of so many challenges. I recommend reading Robert Kiyosaki books.

  • Divert Your Mind: Whenever you feel like quitting, try to divert your mind to other things such as vacation, hitting the gym or anything you think that can occupy your mind, because if you don't then quitting is a sure thing. The human mind tends to focus on reasons why you should quit, whenever you feel like quitting, for instance, the mind will say, the reward is just too small for all your efforts, my boss is wicked, it's impossible to complete this task, and so many, so never allow your mind to start telling you reasons to quit and you can do stop the mind from doing this by diverting your mind to another thing.
