I've mostly been saying in my mind "hey, I just did that, and that means I'm closer to doing X, that's pretty cool!" There's kindof a mental feeling that goes along with that for me, which I seem to be able to feel without actually saying anything in my mind, so I've been doing that too, and it seems to be working to move me towards my end goal.
People have suggested a lot of things to me, like physically high fiving myself or jumping up and down for a bit. I'd be curious to hear what other people do.
Hello, I'm Cord! I just attended the minicamp, have been running a meetup in Mountain View (the last one I'm leading is today :'( ), and this is my first post too!
As per Andrew Critch's instructions, I've been mentally rewarding myself with excitement and noting that I'm taking correct action when I do anything that gets me at all closer to things I want, including just remembering that they're things I want that I haven't done yet, and including remembering that I'm using this procedure.
This morning I was tired and annoyed about "having" to get up and write up my notes from the minicamp and not just rest. I started to feel mentally fuzzy and angry, as I often do in this situation. Then I remembered that I was rewarding myself for even remembering that there's something I wanted to do. So I did that, and that felt pretty cool, and then I wanted more, so I got up and started consolidating my notes. That was pretty cool too.
