Create a Get-To-Do List

The Shine App
About this episode

When our motivation is missing, it can help to shift our mindset from what we *have* to do to what we *get* to do. Join us in reframing your obligations with today’s meditation. Written by Tiana Brawley, M.S.W. Voiced by Mel Chanté.

Takeaways:
1- It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by a “things to do list,” especially if you have a lot on your plate.
2- You can reframe your tasks and obligations by adopting the attitude of “I get to do this” instead of “I have to do this.”
3- Notice how the things you do empower or support you in some way—and savor that feeling as you tackle them.
---
Mantra: I will savor what I get to do.

With the Shine app, end your day with recommended meditations to quiet your mind and help you ease into rest. There’s sleep visualization meditations, calming sounds, and what we call Nightcaps. They’re boring retellings of your favorite 90’s and 2000’s movies, like “How Stella Got Her Snooze Back.” Head to theshineapp.com/sleep to start your Shine Premium membership and get a better night’s sleep tonight.
