So much of what we do and achieve is impacted by how we decide to view things and think about them. aren't they? Tip,

i like the way you describe it as “switching” the brain. So much of what we do and achieve is impacted by how we decide to view things and think about them. aren’t they?

I notice this when I have a mile-long to-do list and keep thinking/worrying about *how* I'm going to get everything done or about other things I'd rather be doing. Once I stop myself and switch my brain to, "I'm going to do these things today," the effort is really minimal. Now to get my brain to behave that way naturally! Such a powerful and simple idea.

The call went well and a good order was received. I had hoped to fill the day with other calls but everyone was too busy and was saying no. However one potential customer said ' I cannot see you but you can leave samples' When I arrived outside the shop, I focused on calmly picking the products I reckoned they would like and set of with the intention of seeing the owner and showing her the products, although she had said she would not have time to see me. After introducing myself, I mentioned the samples and we sat down to go through the products. I do believe that calmly focusing the mind on what you want to achieve does work as I have experienced this again and again.
