9 Techniques to Improve Your Life and Work Style

Before you start reading this I want you to ask yourself one question.

Are You Ready for change?

1. Declare your daily goals and expected output to yourself:

Tell yourself what you want to accomplish throughout the day. If you have trouble remembering just make a list however work on remembering what you want to get done so you don't feel the need for a list. Leave life open to improvisation because you never know what could happen however have that guideline of required tasks to accomplish and do your best to get them done.

2. Stay on top of your game:

focus on important tasks and situations. Give it your all if it is essential to getting what you need done, done. Have ever felt unsatisfied after doing a task because you just barely made it by? Eliminate that feeling from your being by giving it your all and even if you don't produce the results you desired you know you gave it your best.

3. Optimize and obtain efficiency:

Sometimes it's necessary to remove smaller tasks from your day to tackle more important time sensitive tasks. Just be conscious of the fact that you can do this. Ask yourself if it's really necessary to watch T.V. when you have a term paper due next week.

4. Try to relax even in the most tense of situations:

Remaining calm is key to obtaining happiness. When you are calm you feel at peace and when your at peace you feel happy. No one should have the right to destroy your happiness! Not even you with your daily tasks.

5. Develop a winners mentality:

Those who except failure and don't strive for more just settle. Don't get me wrong, Failing is very valuable when taken constructively simply because it's the most essential learning tool out there however it should not be your desired outcome. You either play to win or you play to not lose or you decide to not play.

6. Improve communication skills:

How we engage others determines our level in society. Communication being the fundamental form of relaying information from person to person. Choice of wording and vocabulary being equally as important as representation of yourself and body language. So to sum it up:

Clean up, display interest in others and improve your vocabulary. Just remember you can't hold down a conversation If you can not keep it interesting.

7. Maintain your energy:

We all have a certain amount of energy that gets us through the day. How we function throughout the day is based on physical energy and mental energy. What makes us different from other creatures is our ability to program our minds however we see fit. A quick analogy to this is: In Final Fantasy 4 or almost any role playing game you have two bars. Hit points and magic points. Hit points would be like your physical energy and magic points would be like your mental energy. How you use them is completely up to you, you can stand there and get pummeled by enemies all day and let it slowly decrease or you can pick your battles and ration your energy throughout the day to accomplish your desired tasks.

8. There's no time for comparing:

Life is short. Why would you spend all your time measuring up to other peoples standards? Set your own bar and strive for that. It's allot more satisfying to reach your own goals then someone else's.

9. Find your favorite quote:

Find a quote that inspires you so every time that you say it to yourself you will feel a sense of overwhelming power. My favorite quote is by Eleanor Roosevelt and she said, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

Now that your done reading ask yourself this:
