More money, more health, more happiness!

You can change the quality of your life by doing these
simple steps �
1. Change the way you feel.
Emotions are very important in our life. When we feel down, our
life seems bleak and we feel unmotivated to do anything. Good
news is that you can change your mood simply by thinking of
pleasant memories from the past. Our mind is incredibly powerful.
We just need to be able to steer it in the direction we want
it to go.

2. Change the way you think
This one is tricky. Here I am not talking about simply forcing
your self to be unnaturally positive about everything. I am
talking about developing an understanding of things around you,
so you will be able not to be negative. Through understanding
why things happen, you will be able to not get mad at unimportant
things. You will simply let them go.


3. Change the way you relate to other people.
When we relate to others it is highly important to understand
where they are coming from. Just think how many times you were
upset at someone simply because you did not understand them or
their point of view. If we will start looking for understanding
first, in any situation, instead of simply reacting, we will
avoid half of the problems that we have in our lives today.

4. Change the way you think about money.
Money is a sticky subject. People, from the time immemorial,
had issues with money. Be it, calling money evil, or putting
it on a pedestal, there was always a lot of drama surrounding
this subject. The fact is though - money by it self is natural.
People do good or bad things with money. But in it self money
is just an energy that flows from one person to another. It
also plays an incredibly important role in our lives. It is
like glue that allows everything to work in this physical world.
And just as glue isn't the most important part of any object,
money isn't be all and end all. However, it is so important
that without an idea of some sort of an exchange of currency,
this world would not be able to function. So with that in mind,
money is another vital skill that we need to learn, to fully
participate in this worlds affairs. We need to know how to ear
it, save it and spend it. All of that is very important to our
existence.

5. Change the way you think about your self.
You can't affect any sort of change in your life if you do not
like your self. Your self worth will influence everything
you do. If you do not think you are worth it, your chances
for success in anything diminish significantly.
One of the ways of increasing your self esteem would be to pay
attention to any success that you achieved, however small.
Learn how to forgive your self when you fail. This is a way of
conditioning your mind to look at your self as a valuable being.

6. Use creativity in every aspect of your life.
One of the greatest and most fulfilling things we can do
to change our life is to use our own creativity as much as
possible in our daily life. Being creative is one of those
things that is integral in our life yet we pay almost no conscious
attention to it. If you feel that your life became a drag, all
you have to do is to awaken your creativity again and it will be
transformed in an instant.
One of the surest ways to awaken your creative ability is
to simply use it as much as possible. You can also check out
a program where you go through an intense boot-camp to do the
same (www.burstcreativity.com). Whichever way you do it however,
you must do it, if you want to sky rocket your satisfaction
in life.

7. Change the way you think about your body.
You probably heard many times that our bodies are our temples.
Even though we often don't treat our bodies as such, it is
worthwhile to make an effort in that department. You see one
of the best arguments I know for this is simply that everything
in life is interconnected. If we don't take care of our bodies,
both from physical exercise and nutrition point of view, they
simply will not function very well. And if we don't feel well
physically, you can bet that we will not feel well emotionally,
neither. Another point to bring up is the reverse of the previous
statement - you can easily improve your out look on life by taking
the time to improve how you take care of your self. It is not
difficult to start feeling great if you haven't exercised in
a while or you are eating really badly.

8. Change what you eat.
Nutrition, although previously mentioned, definitely deserves more
emphasis. Today obesity is one of the biggest problems in
North America. If we don't change that soon it will become
catastrophic as the population ages. So how do we actually
improve our eating habits? We educate our selves. The best tip
I know in changing the way you eat is ... (drum roll) ... learn
from an expert. Go see a nutritionist. Not only a good
nutritionist will be able to craft an ultimate way for you to eat,
but they would do it in a customized way specifically made for your
body and situation.

9. Pay attention to what is happening around you.
We lead very busy lives. Work, kids - it seems that every minute of
the day is taken by something important. In this constant
rollercoaster it is easy to get "stuck on yourself". We sometimes
loose perspective and stop seeing what is happening around us, as
we are trying to deal with our own problems. If we do, it can cause
innumerable problems and friction with people around us.
The best practice to avoid that is, from time to time, to become
an observer. Develop the ability to view your life from the third
person perspective. This may be a difficult concept to understand,
but getting help in this department is easy. Most meditation
traditions teach exactly this principal.

10. Give only what you would like to receive.
Give on to others what you would like for your self - is one of those
ancient Christian sayings that rings true in our modern time.
To bring it to the modern era, let's look at it from a business
perspective. Psychology that applies to sales process also applies
in many other arias of our life. In sales in order to persuade
the prospect to buy, we use such techniques as mimicking, sincerity
and others designed to make that person trust us. But in reality all
we are doing is practicing that old principal of making others feel
how we want to feel. We are creating an emotional experience for
another person and they reward us with a sale. This as well as all
the other principals we discussed is very simple. All we need to do
is apply them one by one and we will become happier better human being.
