TEN TIPS TO CREATE
OPTIMAL PRODUCTIVITY,
HAPPINESS AND
CONFIDENCE!
1. Listen to and follow your intuition.
During these trying and difficult times it's been
shown that it's often necessary to reprioritize to
get best outcomes. Your intuition is most often
correct when it comesto your life, work and
relationships. So even if it's an inkling feeling - a
tiny revelation- take a moment to recognize that
and then move forward.
2. Stay within your integrity- no matter what.
No reason or person is important enough to
ever stray. If you have tried this over the years
whether intentionally or not, then you know it
always backfires.
3. Love and laugh!
Both are proven stress reducers. Happiness is
contagious - many need more of that now while
surrounded by global negativity and immersed
in "the new normal."
4. Forgive yourself
for mistakes, let go and move on.
Self-forgiveness is essential in order to forgive
anyone else. Forgiveness is essential to let go of
anger. Letting go of anger is essential to be
happier.

5. Take time each day - to relax, to dream.
We need our "down" time more than ever now,
living in these difficult times. Honor your method
of relaxation and allow dreams to surface. Be
open to learning additional relaxation techniques
and give them a try.. whatever works for you
whenever you do it is OK as long as it has no
negative effects on health or overlap with
personal or work responsibilities. If things are
unmanageable - get help.
6. Be a great listener.
Listening is the most important part of
communication. If you do not understand what
is being said, ask. Listen well and your response
will be more on target.
7. Stay healthy by practicing extreme self-care.
(diet, sleep, exercise, relaxation techniques).
Stress takes its toll on health and may exacerbate
conditions already in existence.
8. Stop procrastinating and take action- to move
forward or to drop the project.
9. Begin each day with a short meditation
positive visualizations of successful outcomes
of your goals.
10. Believe in yourself and your goals; create
affirmations and post them onto mirrors, in an
accessible notebook and in the car.
