Who has never gone through some ups and downs in the life? But some people can feel better in a quicker way than others because they’ve found their own remedies to heal the bad feelings. If you haven’t found yours, these ways may help you instantly feel better.

1. Listen to the songs which you loved when you were in high school or university, this will recall you of the old good times.
2. Write something. Write down how you feel as a way to express your thoughts if you don’t feel like talking to anyone.
3. Don’t really like writing? Draw something. Draw anything you want because no one’s going to judge your drawing skills.
4. Read the postcards or letters your friends or family sent you before, remind yourself there are people who always remember you.
5. Silently think of a day or moment which you truly enjoyed and try to recapture that very first feeling. Was it the day of your graduation? The moment you traveled with your loved one?
6. Take out your photo albums and go over your childhood photos.
7. Cry when you feel like doing so. There’s nothing wrong with crying; cry out all your fear and stress and just face the truth after crying.
8. Sing loudly like no one can hear you. Do you know that in Japan, people always sing karaoke to relieve stress?
9. Cook a nice meal for yourself or for your family.
10. If you’ve kept a diary, read your previous entries and look at your great memories.
11. Dress up nicely to feel happier.
12. Don’t stay in your bed! Get your laptop or a book and sit in a coffee place.
13. Take a walk outside and feel the fresh air.
14. Go jogging and sweat yourself.
15. Pick up the musical instrument you used to play a lot and start to play it.
16. Tidy up your desk or wardrobe, you’ll feel good that you’re being productive and actually doing something.
17. Watch some funny videos, sure you can find a lot of them on Youtube.
18. Eat something you like, be it a chocolate cake, or an ice-cream. Just please yourself with the flavour you like.
19. Re-read your favorite book and write down the sentences or passages that you love.
20. Watch a new movie, there must be a movie which you’ve always interested in but had no time to watch it.
21. Do something nice that no one will notice, say picking up a rubbish in the street and throw it to a trash bin.
22. Call your best friend and just talk or gossip.
23. Do voluntary work and help people in need, you’ll feel happy and satisfied.
24. Get drunk with your close friends at home – a safe place for you to get drunk and get crazy. Let loose and have fun with your very close friends.
25. Write an email or a note to a friend who you care about.
26. Get out of your routine life and meet new friends. Meeting new people can give you new inspirations in life.
27. Act like today’s already a wonderful day because we often feel because of how we act.

This Single Habit Will Put You In The Top 10%

This Single Habit Will Put You In The Top 10%

What if you could become a top performer with ONE habit while halving how much you work every week?

This one strategy can change everything.

I used to think you had to luck out and have incredible talent. I still meet people every day who tell me they believe this.

But once I learned that doing this instead could make me more successful, I got really excited.

Before I get to what it is, check out what I found in my research:

A study in Outliers tracked people with the highest IQ in the world from birth until adulthood.

At first, they were doing wonderfully. But once they got older, their success was no different than a random control group. Some were garbage collectors or worse!
What’s the message?

That most people think IQ, an unchangeable measure of skill, is the key to success. And i t isn’t.

Half of adults use this belief as a crutch so they can have an excuse to not improve their lives. They prefer laziness and will turn away to facts. Don’t be like this.

So what’s the key?

Willpower.

Having studied numerous billionaires, I have found that self-discipline and willpower are the key to success.

I recently read a book called 15 Productivity Secrets, which interviews numerous billionaires. One of them said that he had met a ton of people smarter than him, but unable to do what they had committed to do. That’s why they were less successful.

The magic formula is to be disciplined to do the things no one wants to do.

Billionaire John Paul DeJoria said

“Successful people do what unsuccessful people are unwilling to do.”

Work on improving your willpower and discipline by doing a small thing that will impact your future for the better every day.

But you can do even better.

What if you chose something that had the biggest impact on your life? How about 1 extra book that taught you about business or money? What about 10 extra minutes at the gym?

According to studies:

Willpower is like a muscle. You can exhaust it in a day, which leaves you vulnerable to poor decisions and temptations. Don’t over-exert your willpower but spend some time using it properly to train it.

What have we learned so far?

• Successful people aren’t there just because they were born with a “gift.” Many weren’t. This is an old-fashioned myth.
• The key to success  is willpower. Work on strengthening and improving it. Everyone can do this. Most people don’t.
• People use false beliefs as an excuse or crutch to remain lazy.

Will Smith said in an interview that he didn’t have any extra talent, sex appeal, fitness, intelligence, or anything else. He simply had the work ethic to do what was necessary.

Simple, right?

You say: “Great idea. But…I have no time to do something extra once a day I don’t want to! I’m already exhausted!”

HAHAHAHA!

“Not enough time.”

Most people who say this are wasting hours of time every day. I can easily catch them watching a TV show they don’t have to or spending extra time chatting with friends.

Those extra minutes add up.

Try this. Have something that you want so bad that the fear and pain are pushed aside because of the dream.

Dream big.

Log every activity for the day. I did this and I found that my most blatant waste of time were the 4 to 5 hours after 5pm everyday. For example:

Dinner – (5pm) – 30 minutes

Watching Youtube videos — 1 hour
Browsing the web — 1 hour
Using social media – 1 hour
Playing video games (or game apps) — 1 hour
Wasting time chatting at the gym when I should be working out — 30 minutes
Those are exaggerated estimates but you get the point. On a typical weekday, we have hours of time we waste.

You’ll be surprised to discover that you probably have 3-6 hours of things you could easily do less of. AND EVEN MORE ON A WEEKEND!

Imagine your dream life 3 years from now. Figure out what activities won’t get you there. Figure out which will.

Smalltalk conversation won’t get you there. Watching Youtube won’t get you there.

But doing the right task will.

Maybe for you, that’s exercising more.

Maybe it’s spending more time marketing your business.

Now that you know that X is more valuable  than Y, start right this instant.

1. Choose 1 task
2. Spend 10 extra minutes on it a day
3. Start small so you don’t burn out (like I have)
4. Work your way up to effectively using the hours you waste
5. Find a way to make it fun so you don’t burn out

Get started right away. And I’ll see you at the top.

Keep up the heat!

If you have any idea or suggestions, i would love them on the comment box..

Make your day...A DAY...:)
