Get it behind you

When there's something you must do, that you don't want to do, what's the best approach? Though it is certainly counter intuitive, the best approach is to enthusiastically jump in and get it done.

It doesn't serve any useful purpose to focus on how much you detest the task. That just delays the completion and makes you feel even worse.

So just for a little while, for your own benefit, pretend that you're thoroughly enjoying it. Remind yourself that the more you enjoy it, the quicker and more effectively you'll get it done.

In fact, as you make swift progress, you might actually find yourself really, truly enjoying it. After all, you'll definitely feel great when you have it done.

Choose not to needlessly punish yourself with resentment. Instead, reward yourself with discipline, focus and achievement.

Select a positive, powerful attitude about the task at hand. Before you know it, you'll have it behind you.

Brian Clark, a South Tower survivor, was working in his office at Euro Brokers Inc. when, at 9:03am, United Airlines 175 crashed into the 78th Floor. Euro Brokers' office was situated on the 84th floor, 6 storeys above the impact of the jetliner.
Yet Clark, together with other fellow employees, managed to escape from the South Tower, walking down the building's inside stairwell and past the point of impact.

"When I looked down there, I didn't see flames," Clark said in an interview for the film Zero.
"We decided to go as far as we could until we would be stopped by flames. When we came to the 78th floor (the point of impact), there were flames licking up the other side of the wall… It wasn't a roaring inferno.
I sensed that the flames were maybe starved for oxygen right there. We kept going, and when we got to the 74th floor ... normal conditions: the lights were on, and there was fresh air coming up from below."

There is good news about the swineflu

The dose question has an important ramification: It means people will have to line up for influenza vaccinations twice this year instead of three times — once for the regular winter flu shot and a second time to be inoculated against swine flu, what doctors call the 2009 H1N1 strain.

Okay, so pile up .... eh ... line up
