If It Works...

A few years ago, I purchased a deck of blank playing cards, and on each of them I wrote a positive word or phrase. Sometimes, when my motivation is low, I deal myself 3 random cards and lay them out on the desk in front of me so that I am exposed to those words all day.

I doubt my approach is a scientifically-valid application of a ‘priming effect’, but by the end of the day I can usually identify actions that were the embodiment of each of those words.

There’s a way ‘things should be done’, but for me, if our way gives us the results we’re after, it’s probably worth using again…
