The Power of “Get Into”

Dan Beverly

A Quality of Thought: The Power of “Get Into”.

Whenever I hear myself or someone else talk about “getting through” something, I want to change-up that approach with a simple language-upgrade to “get into”.

“Get Into” is powerful. Because my state moves on from where it was when I was trying to “get through” it. And when I “get into” the project:

  • I’m relaxed, not stressed.
  • I’m free-flowing, not forced.
  • I’m invested, not obliged.

And from that place, a few things happen that weren’t happening when I was trying to “get through” it.

  1. I find interest in what I’m doing. I do more of it. I get good at it. And I find the joy in what I’m doing.
  2. The task gets done faster: because that’s what happens when I find joy in my work.
  3. I complete on the activity. And what’s great about completed items is: they don’t come back!

When I hear my “get through it” language, I want that as my trigger to notice that I’m holding this task, mentally, at arm’s length. And that whilst I do, life will be a little more of a struggle than it needs to be.

And then the choice: do I want that drama? Or do I want to relax into the One Thing that’s in front of me and look at ways to “get into” this next project?

If you’re thinking about coaching as an option, why don’t we schedule a call, have a brief chat and see where you’re at?

No canned pitch or hard sell. Just honest conversation and a new connection made. And at a time that suits you best.
