Mind Hacks

1. The 10-sec time bomb: When you catch yourself
procrastinating on something, visualize a (time) bomb is
about to explode in 10 secs! Then count upwards from
1 to 10, making sure you start what you were supposed
to do before the ‘timer’ runs out.

2. The grateful mind: A University of California study found
that expressing gratitude daily makes people 25% happier
on average. I’ve found the easiest way to get my brain
focused on gratitude is to write down at least 3 things I’m
grateful for, either every morning or every evening before
bed.

3. Laugh it off: When you’re feeling stressed or angry, just
smile or laugh. This simple act tricks your brain into
believing you are in fact happy, and can change your mood
in an instant.
