How to Do Something Even When You Don’t Feel Like Doing It

ဘ၀မွာ ကိုယ္မလုပ္ခ်င္တာေတြကိုလည္း လုပ္ရတဲ့အခါမ်ိဳးေတြ ရွိတတ္ပါတယ္။ အဲဒီလုိအခ်ိန္မ်ိဳးမွာ စိတ္ထဲကလုံး၀ မႏွစ္သက္ေသာ္လည္း မလုပ္မျဖစ္မို႔၊ တာ၀န္အရမို႔ လုပ္ၾကရပါတယ္။ ကိုယ္စိတ္ထဲက မႀကိဳက္ေသာ္လည္း လုပ္ရတဲ့အခါမ်ိဳးေတြမွာ အသုံးတည့္မယ့္ ေျခလွမ္း(၃)ခုကို  မွ်ေ၀လုိပါတယ္။
ေျခလွမ္း ၁ – လက္ခံပါ
မလုပ္ခ်င္ေပမဲ့ မျဖစ္မေနလုပ္ရမယ့္ အလုပ္တစ္ခုကို လုပ္တဲ့အခါ က်ေနာ္တုိ႕ဟာ အဲဒီမလုပ္ခ်င္တဲ့စိတ္ကို  ေဖ်ာက္ဖ်က္ပစ္ဖို႕ ႀကိဳးစားတတ္ၾကပါတယ္။ အဲဒီလိုလုပ္တာဟာ စိတ္ကိုပင္ပန္းေစပါတယ္။ ဒါေၾကာင့္ အဲဒီမလုပ္ခ်င္တဲ့စိတ္ကို လက္ခံပါ။ ကိုယ့္ကိုယ္ကုိယ္ ဒီလိုေျပာၾကည့္လုိက္- “ငါ ဒီအလုပ္ကို မလုပ္ခ်င္ဘူး။ ငါမႀကိဳက္ဘူး။ အဲဒါကို ငါလက္ခံတယ္။”
အဲဒီစကားက အရွဳံးေပးတဲ့စကားလိုလို ထင္ရပါတယ္။ ဒါေပမဲ့ သင့္စိတ္ထဲမွာ ခံစားေနရတဲ့ခံစားခ်က္တစ္ခုခုကို အတင္းတြန္းလွန္ဖို႕ ႀကိဳးစားျခင္းဟာ စြမ္းအင္ေတြအမ်ားႀကီး ကုန္ခမ္းေစပါတယ္။ ဒါေၾကာင့္ မႀကိဳက္တဲ့စိတ္ကို ဖယ္ရွားပစ္ဖို႕မႀကိဳးစားဘဲ လက္ခံလိုက္ပါ။ တေျဖးေျဖးနဲ႕ အဲဒီစိတ္ဟာ ဆီကုန္သြားတဲ့ကားလုိ အရွိန္ေလ်ာ့သြားပါလိမ့္မယ္။ ၿပီးေတာ့ မၾကာခင္ပဲ သင့္စိတ္ထဲကေန ေပ်ာက္သြားပါလိမ့္မယ္။
ဒီေျခလွမ္းနဲ႕ အဆင္မေျပေသးဘူးဆိုရင္ေတာ့ ေနာက္ထပ္ေျခလွမ္းတစ္ခုကို သြားၾကရေအာင္။
ေျခလွမ္း ၂ – အက်ိဳးေက်းဇူးေတြကို စဥ္းစားပါ
သင္ဟာ အဲဒီအလုပ္ကို မႀကိဳက္ဘူး၊ မလုပ္ခ်င္ဘူးဆိုတာကို သင္ လက္ခံၿပီးတဲ့ေနာက္မွာ အဲဒီအလုပ္ ၿပီးေျမာက္သြားျခင္းအားျဖင့္ ရရွိလာမယ့္အက်ိဳးေက်းဇူးေတြကို ခ်ေရးၾကည့္ပါ။ စာရြက္ေပၚမွာျဖစ္ျဖစ္၊ ကြန္ပ်ဴတာထဲမွာျဖစ္ျဖစ္ေပါ့။ ဒါမွမဟုတ္ စိတ္ထဲကေနပဲ စဥ္းစားၾကည့္ပါ။ အလုပ္တစ္ခုကို သင္မႀကိဳက္တဲ့အခါ အဲဒီအလုပ္နဲ႕ပတ္သက္တဲ့ မေကာင္းတဲ့အေၾကာင္းအရာေတြဘက္ကို စိတ္က ေရာက္သြားဖို႕ အလြန္လြယ္ကူပါတယ္။ ဥပမာ- အဲဒီအလုပ္ဟာ အရမ္းခက္ခဲလြန္းတယ္ဆိုတဲ့ အေတြးမ်ိဳးေပ့ါ။
ဘယ္လုိပဲျဖစ္ျဖစ္ မလုပ္မျဖစ္ လုပ္ရေတာ့မယ္ဆိုမွေတာ့ သင့္စိတ္ကုိသင္ တက္ၾကြလာေအာင္ ခြန္အားေပးဖို႕လုိပါတယ္။ ဒီေတာ့ သင့္ရဲ႕ အာရုံကို ေျပာင္းလိုက္ရပါမယ္။ အဲဒီအလုပ္ကို လုပ္ျခင္းျဖင့္ ရလာမယ့္ အခြင့္အေရးေတြ၊ အက်ိဳးေက်းဇူးေတြကို ခ်ေရးၾကည့္ျခင္းဟာ သင့္ရဲ႕ စိတ္ကို တက္ၾကြလာေစပါတယ္။ဘယ္အရာနဲ႕ပတ္သက္လုိ႕ပဲျဖစ္ျဖစ္ ေကာင္းတဲ့အရာေတြကို အၿမဲတမ္း ရွာေဖြေတြ႕ရွိႏုိင္ပါတယ္။ သင္ဟာ အေၾကာင္းအရာျဖစ္ရပ္ေတြကို မွန္ကန္တဲ့နည္းလမ္းနဲ႔ ရွဳျမင္မယ္ဆုိရင္ သင့္ကိုယ္သင္နဲ႕ ပတ္သက္တဲ့၊ သင့္ရဲ႕ဘ၀နဲ႕ပတ္သက္တဲ့ သင္ခန္းစာေတြကို ေတြ႕ႏုိင္ပါတယ္။ ၿပီးေတာ့ အခြင့္အေရးေတြကိုလည္း သင္ ေတြ႕ရပါလိမ့္မယ္။
ေျခလွမ္း ၃ – အခု စ လုပ္ပါ
အခုဆိုရင္ အလုပ္တစ္ခုကို သင္မႀကိဳက္ဘူးဆိုတဲ့အေတြးေတြကို ေလွ်ာ့ခ်ၿပီးၿပီ။ အဲဒီအလုပ္ကို လုပ္ဖို႕ လိုအပ္တဲ့ စိတ္ဓာတ္ခြန္အားေတြရေအာင္လည္း လုပ္ၿပီးေလာက္ပါၿပီ။ ဒီအဆင့္မွာ စိတ္က ေနာက္တစ္ႀကိမ္ ျပန္ေတြးမိတတ္ပါတယ္။ သင္ဟာ သင္အစျပဳခဲ့တဲ့ေနရာကို ျပန္ေရာက္သြားတတ္ပါတယ္။ ဒီအလုပ္ကို ဘာေၾကာင့္လုပ္ရမွာလဲဆုိတဲ့အေတြးေတြ ျပန္၀င္လာတတ္ပါတယ္။ ၿပီးေတာ့ အဲဒီအလုပ္နဲ႕ပတ္သက္တဲ့ မေကာင္းတဲ့အေၾကာင္းအရာေတြအေပၚ စိတ္က ျပန္ေရာက္သြားတတ္ပါတယ္။
ဒါေၾကာင့္ ဒီအဆင့္ကို ေရာက္တဲ့အခါ က်ေနာ္လုပ္ေလ့ရွိတာကေတာ့ ေတြးေနတာကို ရပ္လိုက္ၿပီး ထုိင္ခုံကေန ထလုိက္ပါတယ္။ ၿပီးေတာ့ အဲဒီအလုပ္ကို စလုပ္ေတာ့တာပါပဲ။
ဒီစာက သင့္အတြက္ အသုံး၀င္မယ္လုိ႕ ေမွ်ာ္လင့္ပါတယ္။ ထူးကဲတဲ့ေန႕တစ္ေန႕ကို သင္ပိုင္ဆုိင္ႏိုင္ပါလိမ့္မယ္။
