For many, happiness lies in simple things. In the warm sunshine, the smile of a child, the support of colleagues, a raise in salary, in the end. And this is absolutely the right approach to life! Why waste energy and attention on the negative when there is so much good around? Today I will share with you how to learn to live without fuss and excitement, as well as increase your productivity.

Those who get up early are lucky all day. Sometimes you get the feeling that everyone around you is always sleepy. This is the era of lack of sleep and yawning people. Nothing and no one in this world enjoys greater contempt than alarm clocks. And all why? Because TV shows until midnight, thoughtless Internet surfing and a sea of ​​other "important" things that do not allow you to fall asleep in time.

Make a rule for yourself - no gadgets half an hour before bed. Better to take a walk in the fresh air and give your brain a rest, saturate it with oxygen, and then sweetly fall asleep until 23:00.

And in the morning, wake up not half an hour before going to work, but at least one and a half or two. Go for a run, do yoga, meditate, or at least take a contrast shower to tune in for the day ahead. It is from these first hours of your waking hours that the rest of the day, if not a week, will depend. If the morning starts cheerfully, then throughout the day the tone in the body and thoughts, a feeling of lightness and elation remain. Work is being done, plans are being implemented, productivity is increasing.

Expand your circle of acquaintances . Each new person in your life is a new experience, opportunity, emotion. You never know where a friendship that has begun will lead. Even casual friends can play a life-changing role in our careers or personal happiness.

Where to look for new comrades? Frequently attend a variety of trainings and seminars, master classes and practical classes. So you will get a double effect - you will be able to develop yourself and your skills, as well as make new acquaintances. The wider your circle of friends, the more likely you are to be in the right place at the right time.

An old friend is no better than two new ones, it is better when the number of friends is far from being counted by one!

Books are the most affordable way to get information. Of course, there is also the Internet, but more often than not, when we find ourselves online, we start surfing not useful sources, but social networks with memes and jokes. We admit to ourselves - there is little benefit from this.

Whether it’s the book’s business. Fortunately, today there are many publishing houses that translate popular business literature . Before, if you didn't know English or another foreign language that most business bestsellers are published in, you were one step behind the competition. Today, everyone can read the advice of successful people, no matter what language they speak.

Use this opportunity to gain valuable knowledge and stay ahead of others. Information is your assistant, protector and advisor. Don't ignore books or trade them for the internet.

If you think that travel is too expensive for you, you should not immediately aim at the Maldives and the Emirates. Start small - with your own city, region, country. Even a trip out of town with your family can help you relax and enjoy nature.

We do not even doubt that somewhere near you there is a river, lake, beautiful meadow, forest, waterfall, mountains, temple, museum or nature reserve. And don't hesitate! Better yet, take a map, choose a route and go ahead, towards adventure! As you leave your comfort zone (moral and physical), you will notice how your worldview changes. How “global” problems turn into easy-to-solve trifles. Against the background of the greatness of nature, your adversity will no longer seem so important and you will find answers to most of your questions.


Remember that you yourself are responsible for your own life. And no one else is obliged to make you happier. Put your problems aside, smile, and start your day with a fresh start. Everything will be great!
