I love playing tricks with my mind.
I stay on the 13th floor and quite often climb up the stairs, after my morning workout.
Usually I climb up while looking down – thinking about something and not consciously counting the floors.
One time, I did notice the floor.
It was floor 4.
And my mind instantly went, “Damn – all the hard work done until now, has to be repeated 2 more times.”
Another time, I noticed the floor.
It was floor 7.
And my mind instantly went, “Okay – just repeat what you have done until now and you will reach.”
And then one time, I noticed the floor.
It was floor 10.
And my mind instantly went, “Just about half of what you have done until now!”
And then one time, I noticed it was floor 13.
And my mind instantly went, “Wow! It’s done?
Another time, I noticed the floor.
It was floor 15.
And my mind instantly went, “I didn’t even realise it!”
There are so many ways we can trick our minds.
All of them begin with not tracking what milestone we have hit so far.
And it will surprise you how far you go.
Focus on the climb.
And keep climbing!
