In this article, you will learn how to achieve greater success in life, some kind of tips that have been scientifically proved and are true and confirmed.
1. Think positively
Studies conducted by Barbara Fredrickson from Harvard University, has proven that positive thinking influences person’s life. Your thoughts attracts action. When we think of something bad, this means that we have a tendency to be in the depressive state. While person remains in such mood, he or she is more likely to notice only bad things around, and it happens are on a subconscious level. This only makes us feel even more depressed and doesn’t allow us to break out of this circle of unpleasant events.
How to start thinking positive:
- Try to smile and laugh as often as possible. Many scientists from all over the world agree that simple smile can make human feel better and get rid of depression.
- Find something that you like doing and do it. Doing things that you enjoy will help you to stay positive!
- Keep in touch with positive people.
- Take care of your health; do sports and eat healthy.
2. Wake up early
Daily schedule and routine in lives of successful people are very important. Even if you don’t have any specific tasks for the upcoming day, try to wake up as early as possible. Biologist Christoph Randler in his interview for Harvard Business Review confirms that the early bird really does get the worm.
Early rise stimulates the better performance of human’s brain; it helps us to understand better essence of certain problems and find fresh and reasonable solutions for them. But don’t forget that you need to get enough of sleep, so try to go to bed early. In addition to the utility of an early rise, it also gives you extra time, which you can usefully spend on anything you like.
3. Act
Many scientific studies show that no matter what goal you plan to reach as result, the action is the best means of achieving this goal. Don’t put off making decisions until later, even the simplest tasks, try to do everything right away.
Katty Kay and Claire Shipmanany, authors ofThe Confidence Code, have proved that action strengthens man’s faith in his own strength. Along with that, grows person’s confidence in himself and his success. To get something, you have to do something first, so don’t be afraid and act, even if you are going through failures and setbacks you must overcome it and do something again.
4. Adapt
The 21st century is a time of high technology and incredible discoveries. Modern life is much more intense and has faster rhythm, and it’s important to keep up with the world. Catherine Weinberger, the UCSB economist, in her research proved that adaptability is a significant factor for success; she says that bothsmart and socially adept people tend to achieve greater success in life.
If we are talking specifically about the business, you need to create a product or service that is relevant today and will stay relevant in the nearest future. Try to be aware of new changes in rules, trends and standards of the world and society.
Adapting appearance to who you want to become is crucial as well. If you want to be a successful man, observe people who you consider us successful and try to look like them. Look at their clothes, posture, the way they interact with other people. Confidence, your secure body language and good sense of style can help you to open more doors than you would have expected!
5. Cherish relations
Relationships between you and other people are a very important aspect in the implementation of your plans and ambitions. Psychiatrist from Harvard – George Vaillant says:
Try to avoid conflicts, especially if they were caused by some minor misunderstandings.
It’s much better to prevent any conflict at the beginning, just think if it’s necessary or what negative consequence a certain fight may have, and try to calm down, find compromise and come to an agreement. This applies to relationships both with family or friends, as well as with superiors or partners. Remember that some of the people with whom you contact can support your ideas and contribute their implementation.
