Random Acts of Eccentricity

Find something you really dislike doing, say washing the dishes. The next time you wash the dishes, pay close attention to what your mind is doing. Find the thought where you start to dislike it, then probably that. Explore why. Once you know the reasons, you can fix them
For whatever reason you don’t like it, the natural course is to have an expectation of doing anything else. This is our leverage point. Once those thoughts come up, use CBT to rewire them. Let the negative thought pass by and substitute it with a positive, but true (this part is important. You have to believe it) thought. Ex: ignore “I’d rather be watching TV” and replace it with “This is really a nice view out the kitchen window”. This will take practice. You have to be consistent and stick with it. Once you get that down, you can branch out and try it on other expectations.
