How To Make Every Day a Successful Day

By Charles Brown

Every day is about momentum. If we can get on a successful roll, we get into what NLP practitioners call a "Resourceful State." You may have also heard this state called, "In The Zone," or "The Flow."

Whatever you call it, this kind of state means you feel very capable, almost unstoppable and it creates the kind of day where you have successes in clusters. It's kind of like a baseball hitter having one of those three-home runs-in-one-day, or a sales person closing five sales in one week. Once you get on a roll, the momentum keeps you going for quite a while.

But can you create this kind of zone or "resourceful state" every day? While there are a lot of variables, there is a way to make sure every day is a successful day.

The concept is simple, schedule one "Target Task" every day.

Your Target Task must meet two requirements. One it needs to be something you can get done quickly and easily. This is extremely important because the target task must be something that is just difficult enough to be a challenge but not so difficult that you won't get it accomplished very quickly, early in your day.

The next requirement is that your Target Task must give you a LOT of satisfaction when you do it. For example, sometimes a nagging little detail I've been putting off for ages often makes the perfect Target Task for me. Once I finally get something like this done, there is a huge weight lifted off my shoulders and I feel really, really good.

What you are aiming for is to create this great feeling early in your day so you can get your day on a roll and put yourself into that resourceful state. If the task is something that you can cross off your list easily and quickly and if it gives an enormous sense of satisfaction, it will move you into the zone you are looking for.

Why do target tasks work so well? Because we all have an internal sense of inertia that holds us back from getting started. While the target task may not be easy to do, it is something that can be done quickly and gotten out of the way in a short period of time.

Then our internal inertial continues to work for us because once we have gotten ourselves moving, the fact that the target task gives a high level of satisfaction keeps us moving onto the next item on our schedule, and the next and so forth. It is a momentum that can carry us through the rest of the day simply because we have gotten ourselves in the "zone," "on a roll," or in a "resourceful state," depending on what you want to call it.

Just a few years after attempting suicide, Charles Brown has learned to literally "re-wire" and "re-program" his brain to achieve success in everything he attempts. He now teaches others how to use neuro-linquistic programming (NLP), subliminal technology, self hypnosis, The Law of Attraction and other methods to make major changes in their lives. He is the author of the free downloadable ebook, The Science of Change: How To Re-Program Your Mind and Transform Your Life.
