So when my mind wanders, I remind myself exactly what I think my consistent discipline will bring me, what goal I will reach, what feeling I will have or whatever it is that I am trying to bring more of into my life. It&#39;s very important to be able to link how what you are doing is linked to a bigger goal.<\/p>\n<p>I do think the mind is most rebellious when you are telling it has to do something. I sometimes feel that this is when we are own worst enemies.  It&#39;s like somewhere we aren&#39;t sure we can do it, succeed, so as we are actually succeeding, these things come up to get us to doubt ourselves.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Danielle C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Have a goal in mind. We call it \u201cdefinition of done\u201d you need to know what your goal is, and if you don\u2019t have that, spend 25 minutes \u201cgetting started\u201d to define what done is. The more you are invested in the task, the less likely you will let your mind wander. And close all apps except what you are working on.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Magdalena X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I am lerning this too, it helps me to write down what I am thinking about as recommended by the Fabulous, it goes away and I can follow the work.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Eloane N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Set up a space where you can focus and put on some relaxing music, preferably some without any lyrics. Give yourself some motivation to focus, like rewarding yourself with a small treat afterwards. Having this small reward to look forward to usually helps me to focus while doing a task.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Catherine N.
