“Most people ask for happiness on condition. Happiness can only be felt if you dont set any condition.” Artur Rubenstein

1) Practice patience, perseverance, and prayer. Theres a story of the person who prayed, “God, please give me patience, and hurry!” In this day and age of cell phones, fax machines and instant gratification, its easy to want what we want NOW. No one is willing to wait anymore. However, as we mature, we discover that it often takes patience, perseverance, and a lot of hard work to get the things we really want. Whether its a promotion at work, losing weight, or having a great relationship.

If you believe in God, pray for patience, persistence and guidance. God sees the big picture. We dont. Often, looking back, we see that many of the things we just “had to have” werent really right for us anyway.

2) Learning how to overcome procrastination helps you get motivated and stay motivated. I believe deep down most people know what theyre supposed to do to improve their lives. But we procrastinate doing that activity. We just dont want to do it. Whether its getting rid of the clutter in our home or office, cleaning up our eating habits or cleaning out the garage. Most of us know theres something we need to do that weve been procrastinating. Yet, by procrastinating a task, we end up cluttering our minds further by thinking about what we should be doing.

Again, if you have certain spiritual beliefs, just ask for the courage to do it. Turn to God. This is not something I discuss in my speaking engagements as my audiences are diverse businesspeople from different backgrounds. But asking for strength works. By admitting your weakness you will often gain strength in overcoming procrastination. And getting help in many other areas of your life as well.

Stop trying to do it all yourself. Give yourself a break. Give up some of the control. Take it in baby steps. For example, clean up just half of the garage. Or, begin that exercise program just three days a week for 30 minutes a day. Too often we fall into the “all or nothing” mentality. If we cant do it all at once, well, we simply dont do it at all!

3) Practice positive thinking.Think about what youre thinking about! I read on the internet that the number one thing people would like to change for the new year is to have a more positive attitude. Thoughts lead to words. Words lead to actions, and your actions determine your approach to your career, relationships, health and just about everything else. Positive thinking is something you often have to practice.

I am a worrier. And of all things, a motivational speaker! Its my job to help people become more productive, improve morale and stay motivated. In many cases, its also my job to help them increase profitability. Worrying is a habit Ive tried to consistently break. After all, worrying is negative thinking. Worry doesnt solve anything. It doesnt add a single day to your life. I make a conscious effort to think about what Im thinking about. I shift my thinking to the positve whenever possible and its becoming more of a habit. Becoming more aware of your thoughts is half the battle.

4) Eat right in order to feel happier, healthier, and stay motivated. We all know what to eat but often need to be reminded. Too many junky foods produce junky negative thoughts. Start your morning with protein to stabilize your blood sugar. Increase your daily intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. Switch to organics whenever possible toavoid exposure to harmful pesticides. If you travel a lot this isnt always easy. Do the best you can. Remember, moderation is the key. The minute you have that all or nothing approach, you set yourself up for disaster by beating yourself up for not being perfect.

See your doctor to find out what types of vitamins and minerals you should be taking. Studies show that even when were eating at our healthiest many of us are still missing vital nutrients. Drink more water. If youre under a time crunch, and who isnt these days, try eating raw nuts such as almonds or pumpkin seeds for protein and iron. Dried fruits such as apricots, raisins and cranberries contain vital nutrients and add lots of flavor. I do this all t…
