15 mins is not a long time for high level enthusiasm. I can manage that or I can fake it till I make it. If you believe anything you can achieve it. Sometime a little faking is all you beee to get you through a tough situation.
Great quote!!!!
I have can absolutely bring unbridled authentic enthusiasm and joy for 15 minutes! Enthusiasm and joy fuel me and I have to do it sometimes because joy and sadness cannot exist in the same moment
I can for sure bring a high level of enthusiasm for 15 mins. It would be authentic because to get a high level of enthusiasm, I would probably use positive self talk and only say things that I would actually mean.
I bring High level enthusiasm for 15 minutes or more almost daily. This is needed to achieve any long term or even short term goals because, it is easy to become drained, distracted and discouraged. Renewing commitment takes high levels of energy and enthusiasm to continue. I have never felt fake using it because it works.
Hi Loris! I really like your insights, thanks for sharing!
15 min is along time I think that I could do it but about certain things. Like I have to be really into what I’m doing in order to be able to do that. I also think that I would be able to fake it. I read one of the other comments and they said fake it till you make it. I completely agree with that
My job makes me bring a higher level of enthusiasm daily. Even when I am tired, bored, or sick. So the answer is yes! It actually can shift my mood when I do. Never thought about it. Wow
Hi Janel! I agree that bringing a high level of authentic enthusiasm shifts my mood too!
when i’m not bored of course i’ll have so much energy and enthusiasm. when i’m bored it will start out fake and then it will turn real. also good morning everyone. i hope everyone has a good day.
gm, Interesting responses. I CAN NOT bring high level enthusiasm when I’m bored. sometimes at work (on Teams calls) when we have ineffective presenters I tune out. I can’t help it. I start doing other things while they’re talking. I guess for me energy and enthusiasm are contagious so if its high I’m high ☝️ and if it’s low, my enthusiasm goes South 👇
I can and I MUST! I found this to be true in my career. When/if advancement doesn’t go as planned, the first reaction is disappointment / low energy. But the key to persistence and success is to find the energy and enthusiasm needed to reinvent yourself. This could be 15min or 15 years… at the end of the day, you gotta keep going in a positive trajectory.
I can definitely bring a high level of enthusiasm for 15 minutes. When I am bored it might be more difficult and I would need to pick up my energy too. If I am extremely bored, for example in class, it might start off as fake but turn into authentic the more I continue it.
I agree with most responses! I think I can definitely bring a high level of enthusiasm. It would be more difficult when I’m bored, but if I remind myself to be enthusiastic and focus on it, I think I could, as others have said, fake it til you make it.
I agree with most comments. There are times when you have to fake it, and sometimes the faking becomes authentic or changes your attitude so you are no longer bored.
I can definitely bring high level enthusiasm for 15 minutes, even when I am bored. However, when I am bored but still bringing a high level of enthusiasm it usually feels fake.
I bring a high level of enthusiasm every day 15 mins is about right for me maybe 20
Today’s question got me musing about what brings on enthusiasm for 15 minutes or more. Worship, lovemaking, catching up with a dear friend, enjoying a great book, film, or song, family bible study, family game night, exercising, and being creative are some things that came to mind.
I’d like to be more enthusiastic about professional work and getting started on long overdue personal projects, though.
Any thoughts as to how to become authentically enthusiastic about a career that has become quite chaotic, challenging, and combative due to how policymakers have responded to COVID?
Any advice regarding how to get motivated about and starting a long-procrastinated project?
