Coach Yourself to be Happy & Successful - Part 1/2

The good news is that it’s very easy to be successful….It is scientifically proven if you want to be successful, you need to train your brain to be positive and happy.

The last few articles I came across coincidentally talked about the importance and power of being positive and happy. Hence, I thought of summarizing some of these simple yet often forgotten practices:

1. Be nice to yourself (more often)– Shower yourself with nice compliments (I am sure each one of us has something good in us.It works... Stand in front of the mirror and say something good about yourself… nothing works like a high self-esteem. Start today!

2. Get Talking & Listen more - Talk to people who matter, people you work with – peer, colleagues, subordinate, mentor, coach; people you care about; talk to yourself…Also start listening more…. An honest two-way communication breaks barriers and is a very effective key to solving simple or complex problems at the workplace or at home.

3.Jadu Ki Jhappi( you read it right)– Hug stimulates, ‘Oxytocin’ –love hormones…. So follow Munna Bhai and be generous with Jadu ki Jhappi - with your kids, spouse, family. It feels good to share one ups and downs with others as well. Be open with your feelings from time to time. You needn't be serious all the time.

4.Express Gratitude - It helps you see positive thoughts and actions around and manage your ego. Positive environment is infectious and helps spread happiness. Check this site and be inspired!
