Daydream Your Chores

If you’ve got some chores you keep putting off – realx...

Don’t feel like cleaning that bathroom – or paying those bills? Then just relax, close your eyes – and picture yourself doing it. You’ll be 200% more likely to get up and get it over with. Psychological tests show that just imagining and doing actually trigger the same parts of the brain – so picturing yourself in motion helps switch your body and mind into action mode.

The same trick works with mood. People who imagined themselves feeling great - actually felt a little better after their daydream.
