Our mind don't want us to be in an uncomfortable situation, that's why we give up easily and shy away from it. But every time our mind says to call it a day, we usually have a little fuel in the tank. We just need to tap in this fuel.
The Cookie Jar Method was created by David Goggins a Retire Navy SEAL.
Cookie Jar is all your past achievements and failures that you have overcome.
Sometimes we need to work, even you feel tired. Sometimes you need to read, even you don't feel like it. Eventually our brain will tell us to give up or to take a rest. But we could pick a cookie from from our jar (The cookie is your past achievements and obstacles that you've overcome.) to give us a little energy to fuel us to our tasks.
The Cookie Jar Method is like remembering your past achievements and obstacle that you overcome to give us an energy to finish our tasks or goals for a little bit of extra time.
Before you became short of your goals, dunk your fist in, and get another cookie, then get back to work! What is truly happening is that you are training your mind to be mentally tough.
''Impossible'' will turn into ''I can do this''.
So keep your mind from giving up, use your cookie jar today and be better than yesterday (one step at a time).
But in order to make your own cookie jar, you need to write down all of your past achievements and obstacles that you overcome. It could be tough at first but it will help you truly when you are running out of fuel when doing your tasks or goals.
''Impossible'' will turn into ''I can do this'' I love this! Setting up a daily goal makes the day fruitful. Thank you for sharing the article.
