in mundane tasks is difficult. What do you do when the going gets tough?

The time honored cliche is, "When the going get's tough, the tough get going." There is indeed a great deal of PLEASURE in accomplishment, and the greater the challenge, the greater the accomplishment and the pleasure derived from it.
Challenge yourself. Good Luck!

If I have to do terrible tasks like clean the garage for instance, I select a nice reward for myself so I will visualize something I like and get the job completely done. It can be a CD, a movie, clothes work for me, or any special treat you want to give yourself. I try to play music or a books on tape to distract me. The fastest way for me to get done is to have someone there helping me so I can be distracted from the sheer drudgery of the task at hand. It is good to take a break now and then, as long as you can force yourself back to the grindstone! Best of luck to you!!

Try to think about the good stuff, as cheezy as it sounds when you're not in a difficult moment, it really does help when you are. I think of my daughter. Nothing but pure goodness there.

I think about the joy that I will get from seeing the stupid task done.

Turn my brain off. I was doing volunteer work sweeping a parking lot this afternoon. Not a thought in my dumb head all day. I was done before I knew it.

Get some beer, rum and then think I'm getting tough.
