NLP through stories - Story 21

The second's hand in a clock complained to the clock maker," what a pain & dull routine for me; I need to keep on moving every second till the end, can you do something?

The clock maker said," It's easy; just focus on the next tic, rest is automatically done"

Often times in workshops people ask me,'the issue is doing the exercise & practice for one month;
I tell them this story and request them to focus doing that day; tomorrow will take care of itself.
It is more of belief system.
Their experience in the past have confirmed that they are not capable of doing something consistently; and so they doubt their focus to doing every day without fail and a mental estimate doing an assignment for 30 days seems a burden.
Doing one day is an achievement & focusing on that accomplishment and taking reference as an achiever you shift your focus from lack of consistency to capable of doing.
This will make you do continuously and consistently.
