31 - 40 of 50 Life Secrets and Tips

1. 31. Learn to control your mind.

   What kind of skilled human are you if you cannot even control your own thoughts? While the human mind is described as being a stream of consciousness, that does not mean you can’t decide where your stream flows. Techniques like meditation and the 3 ways to flush out negative thoughts will aid you immensely in learning to control your mind.

3. 32. Learn to control your emotions.

   The only person that can make you unhappy is you! You are the one that decides to be affected by the words and actions of others. Realize this so that the next time you experience a negative emotion, you can find the strength within yourself to overcome it.

4. 33. Take a class in speed reading.

   Books are full of information that can enhance your knowledge-base, vocabulary and yourself as a person. Speed reading is an easy way to get at this info faster so that you can have more time for other endeavors.

5. 34. Relax!

   This one is for you workaholics out there (myself included). Yes, work is very important and productive but you need to take some time to chill out everyday or you are going to burn out faster than a candle with no oxygen. Additionally, you need to reward yourself for a job well done. What’s the use of doing all of that work if you can’t have a little fun from time to time anyways?

6. 35. Work on making good first impressions.

   Practice a strong, firm handshake and the small talk that generally goes along with meeting someone for the first time. People won’t know what to think of you if you have nothing more to say beyond “My name is _______, nice to meet you.” Also make sure you remember names, as mentioned previously. Who knows, you may be going into business with or marrying this person you’re meeting for the first time if you make a good impression. Be sure and make an excellent one.

7. 36. Learn to use your eyes to their full potential:

   • Make constant eye contact when in conversation. Looking away (especially down) is a sign of inferiority and uncertainty. Instead, look at your conversation partner dead in the eyes and keep them locked on

   • Master the piercing stare. You know when someone looks at you and it feels like they can see into your soul? Well that’s not a hereditary characteristic, it just takes practice. Work on sharpening your gaze in the mirror. You’ll know you have it when it’s intimidating to continue looking at yourself

   • Master the one-eyebrow raise. This one isn’t necessary by any means, but hey, why not? Pick a brow to learn with and go look in a mirror. Raise both of your eyebrows but use your hand to hold down the brow that you want to stay down. This will probably feel very stupid at first but if you keep trying, you will eventually pin down the muscle you need to flex to get that one brow up

8. 37. Be mysterious.

   Don’t let off everything about you and definitely leave out some major details. There is something both alluring and mesmerizing about someone who no one knows fully about. I’m not saying to confide in no one or to alienate yourself. Just think James Bond.

9. 38. Come up with a life mantra.

   You know, like “Carpe Diem” or “Live life to the fullest,” but not as cliché. Make it something that really hits home with you so that you will actually stick to it. Make sure it’ not so specific that it  rarely applies but also not so general that it’s not personal.

10. 39. Get good at something.

    Call it a hobby or a passion, whatever it is, just get damn good at it. Your occupation does not count! Make it something that you can practice often enough to excel at. Examples: Magic tricks, surfing, ping-pong, creating short films, and unicycling. It can be anything but I would recommend choosing something that: 1) You are passionate about 2) You can bust out at any moment to display your skills for any discerning crowd. My mind goes immediately to aerobatics and break dancing, but that’s just me.

11. 40. Work out those abs.

    Above any other muscle group in the entire body, the abs are the most important. They constitute your core, the center point of your body. Your ability to balance comes almost completely from the strength of your abdominal muscles and balance is vital to performance in any physical activity. Summary: they’re very important.

What must you change?

Are You at a Threshold Moment?

We all have those times where we can just chug along in our businesses and lives... la la la la. We're good. We're happy. It's status quo at its best.

And then that all changes. We want more. We're ready. Status quo is not good enough.

So, then we have a decision to make.

I call this a threshold moment or a choice point because it usually involves taking a conscious step - passing over that threshold or choosing a different path from the one you're on.

It can be scary, and what I know is that in order to cross over that threshold, the potential result has to be stronger than the fear of change. And many people can't do it.

The unhappily married woman who complains day after day about her husband not taking any responsibility for the kids or the house, and yet won't let him make a single decision, like what to eat, on one of the rare occasions when she's out for the evening.

The woman who goes to a women's business conference every year and approaches a coach about writing a book. They even brainstorm a kick-ass title. Year after year, she comes back to the booth and says, "I still haven't written that book."

The business owner who says she wants things to be different and even creates a plan for big changes. But when it comes time to implement those changes, she backs down, and rails against the person who partnered with her to make those changes.

The consultant who says she needs to create boundaries with her clients, but it takes her months to put those changes in place. Then, when she does, at the first sign of complaint from her clients (who have gotten used to her loose boundaries), she returns everything back to the way it was.

People may say they want things to be different, that they want to step into their biggest, brightest, highest selves.

But when it comes down to it, change at that level is too big and scary.

It's not that they didn't mean it when they said they want XYZ. They do want XYZ. It's just that what they have to do - who they have to be - in order to get XYZ... they're not willing to do that.

Change isn't easy. It's made up of baby steps and then, at other times, leaps. No matter how many baby steps you take, eventually you have to leap. And that leap is scary. And rarely do you ever get the message, "This is the right time. Everything is absolutely in place. It's the perfect time."

There are always doubts. And you have to leap anyway.

The end goal that lies beyond the threshold? To be that biggest, highest, brightest self.

So, how do you cross over the threshold?

• Keep the end goal in mind... and FEEL it. What does it look like, smell like, sound like, taste like? What are you going to be able to do as a result?
• Listen to your Inner Critic Gremlin, and then come up with the data to prove him wrong. "You never finish anything." Your response: "Sure I have... Lookie here... This time, and that time, and this other time." Write the data down to refer to because the Inner Critic Gremlin will poke his head up again and again.
• Create your Action Plan to get to what lies beyond the threshold. What are all the steps you can take? Write them all down, even the littlest ones. Especially the littlest ones. And then take at least one step every day.
• Review your end goal and your Action Plan regularly to keep you on track.
• Build a support system. Share your goals and dreams with others. Ask them to check in on you. Report back to them, no matter if you're happy with your progress or not.
• Every so often (the time frame may vary depending on your goal), list all that you've accomplished toward your goal. People almost always do more than they think. Write it down so that you can see how awesome you are.
• Celebrate once you've reached your goal. Don't just move on right to the next one. Breathe, take some time, and feel into your new place across the threshold.

And then get ready for the next one.
