  I used to hate doing dishes. I always did them by myself growing up because my 2 siblings one older &nbsp;one younger would start a fight with me and I &nbsp;would fall into their trap by telling them to leave and I would do it by myself which is what they ultimately wanted. Somehow I would be blamed for causing the fights. So if they were gone I couldn&apos;t &nbsp;be blamed.<br> Fast forward after marriage having to to dishes myself I began to leave them, as my mother did. But one day it changed. I was making a pot of tea. While waiting for the water to boil &nbsp;I was going to leave the kitchen and watch tv. But I would not know when the water was boiling. So I washed the dishes while waiting. It took about the same time to finish the dishes as it took to heat the water and brew the tea. I realized the chore was not as bad as it &nbsp;seemed and I got my reward of a hot cup of tea I enjoyed more knowing I had all ready done the chore I dreaded. I got into doing this everyday. Now<br>I &nbsp;dont have to have the tea any more to do the dishes I enjoy doing them knowing how short a time it takes and I do them after every meal. I &nbsp;can enjoy going into the kitchen more because it is neat and clean. I must have had a lot of negative things associated with dishwashing. Thanks to &nbsp;cup of tea, no more.

  Honestly, it breaks my heart how Manifest and Receive by Eva Hartley isn’t getting the attention it deserves. This book changed me. People need to wake up to this.

  I&apos;m in university and I keep telling myself &quot;if I procrastinate, I won&apos;t get good grades, I might fail, and I won&apos;t get an internship, I won&apos;t get a good job&quot;. I&apos;ve been saying things like that since I was 10 or 11. And I still procrastinate a lot. <br>This video changed my perspective. I should instead be telling myself &quot;I WILL get good grades, I just need to procrastinate less. An internship and good job is ahead of me, if I make the choice of not succumbing to temporary pleasures and focus instead.&quot;

  Notes:<br>-Science shows that warning has little influence on behavior; it&apos;s effective but limited. <br>-People tend to change their beliefs towards a more desirable option (in all ages) <br>-Kids, teenagers, and elderly people are less likely to learn from warnings <br>Three principles that drive the behavior and mind <br>1-Social incentive: we are motivated through the positive actions of others. <br>2-Immediate reward: reward your good behavior. <br>3-Progress monitoring: We are motivated by seeing progress. <br>-Highlight the process, not the decline <br>-Giving people a sense of control is a motivator
