We all want to be happier, right? In our culture, we place
so much emphasis – even pride – on our ability to manage numerous priorities.
We rise early, tackle our work, stay late, go home, and hopefully have some
energy left for family time and maybe even some fun.
Embrace
a Positive Lifestyle
Despite of the difficulties facing our daily lives, we can
indeed embrace a lifestyle of positive thinking and positive habits. Turning
negative habits into positive ones requires both resilience and time
management.
Monitor
Your Self Talk
Self-talk is that continuous stream of thoughts that run
through your brain every day. These thoughts can be positive, negative, or
neutral. Please understand this concept: if your thoughts are continuously
negative, you are going to become a pessimist. If your thoughts are positive,
you are going to be an optimist. Optimism = happiness + success!
Take
time to visualize your goals and aspirations
Jack Canfield, the world-renowned author of “Chicken Soup
for the Soul” and one of world’s foremost authorities on success, states that
the daily practice of visualizing your dreams as already complete can
drastically quicken your realization of your dreams, goals and ambitions.
Take
action that supports your goals.
By following the first four brain tips, you should be ready
to take some action! You’re embracing a positive lifestyle, watching your
self-talk and visualizing your goals. Good for you!
Know
your purpose
It may sound cliché, but life is too short to live it for
someone or something else. Taking ones purpose for granted or setting it aside
because of demands placed on us is wasteful and unfulfilling. After all, this
is your happiness that we are talking about!
Know
that your brain can be changed
‘Neuroplasticity’ is an actual medical term that refers to
the brain’s amazing ability to form new neural connections throughout life.
That’s right – your brain can literally grow through your own conscious
efforts.
Know
that anything is possible
We’ve walked on the moon, created electricity, discovered
flight, mapped the human genome, mass produced automobiles… all through the
power of our brain. And here’s the thing… the only person who believed it was
possible was the mind that first conceived it.
