Living a “Get To” Mindset
Most people don’t start their day exhausted by the work ahead of them. They start the day worn down by the story they tell themselves before it ever begins. The language they use internally frames the entire experience long before a single responsibility is confronted. When the day is built on “I’ve got to,” everything that follows feels heavier than it needs to be.
That framing is subtle, but it is powerful. “Got to” language positions life as something happening to you rather than something you are actively participating in. It turns responsibility into burden and obligation into resistance. Over time, this mindset doesn’t just drain energy. It trains you to expect the day to be difficult before it ever has the chance to prove otherwise.
A “Get To” mindset is not about pretending life is easy. It is about recognizing that perspective determines weight. Two people can face the same schedule, the same demands, and the same pressures, yet experience completely different days based on how they frame what is in front of them. One carries everything as a burden. The other carries it as responsibility earned.
