Handbook for Life: 52 Tips for Happiness and Productivity

Here are a couple tips for adopting the tips:

• Pick and choose the tips that will be most useful to you. There are 52 tips here — not every single one will be useful to every person. I hope you’ll find 10 that are useful, or that are reminders of something you’ve been wanting to do.
• Don’t do them all at once. Choose one tip to do first, and then do them one at a time. Focus on one first, and then the next. It’s too hard to try to adopt a bunch of changes at once.
• Experiment. Try out a tip, and if it doesn’t work, try another. Life is an experiment, after all.
• None are guaranteed. But many are very likely to bring happiness.
• Also, these are not in any order. Some of the most important are buried below.

You pay a little extra on your credit card, or bump up your contribution to your 401(k) for a few months, but the impact on your balance is negligible.

So why not go back to reading novels at lunch, saying the first stinging remark that comes to mind or spending your hard-earned money? Those little things aren’t enough to make a real difference, right?

Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it.

- Mahatma Gandhi

When is the best time to generate self-confidence for the day ahead?

The moment you wake up!

As you wake up in the morning take charge of your thoughts in that early morning awareness before you fully awake.

Do this before you get up out of bed by repeating some self esteem affirmations. Affirmations work very well WHEN you say them with strong feelings in a state of deep relaxation.

If you have heard about affirmations before and never got the maximum benefit from them it is because you did not know how to take what ia a very ordinary approach and supercharge it.

Motivation & The Power of Not Giving Up (Part 1)

Check in with your goal. Now that you’ve broken your goal down into a series of mini-goals and daily tasks, check in every day.

It helps to write down your small goals in the same way you wrote down your big goal. That way you can track what you need to do, check off tasks as you complete them, and enjoy knowing that you’re moving toward your big goal.
