"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it.

Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it - but all that had gone before."

5 Things Successful People Do (Every Day)

Tip 1- Start Your Day Early.

I know what you’re thinking - you do your best work at night or you love sleeping in? Well, research shows that morning people are more proactive and more productive. They use this time of the day to focus on the things that have priority, and therefore they accomplish more!

Tip 2- Move Your Body!

Let’s face it, when we move and stretch our bodies, we instantly feel better. This is because movement triggers our body to release stress and endorphins. Successful people know this and they take their health seriously! Whether it’s doing a yoga class, hitting the gym or walking your dog, make sure you set aside some time each day to be active.

Tip 3- Make Time For Yourself And Your Loved Ones.

Successful people value the importance of setting aside some time for themselves, disconnecting from all technology and enjoying the activities they love most, like reading a book, listening to music or spending quality time with their friends and family. They know that this time is as valuable as working, as it allows them to energize and replenish their mind and soul.

Tip 4- Take Ownership Of Your Own Happiness.

For successful people, happiness is a choice, not an external circumstance. They find joy in the simplest things in life - a smile, sunshine, a conversation. They tend to see the positive in every situation and they treat life as the ultimate gift! So make the decision to be happy right now!

Tip 5- Plan ahead.

To maximize their potential, successful people map out their days, have short-term goals and they also hold a clear vision of what they want out of life!

Now as you can see, this is not weird science. It just takes perseverance to incorporate these small steps into your life in order to make a positive change.

If you can’t follow all of them right away, don’t stress out, take baby steps and incorporate 1 tip each week until it becomes a habit.

4 Powerful Ways To Protect Yourself From Negative Energy

Has talking to someone ever left you feeling exhausted and depleted?

Has a trip to the mall ever felt, not only physically challenging, but mentally draining too?

If so, then you may have fallen prey to the harmful effects of someone else's negative energy.

You see, the same way that laughter can be contagious... unfortunately negative energy can be too, especially if your defenses are down due to stress or illness.

However the good news is that there are many ways you can boost your positive vibration to protect yourself from being affected by other people's negative energy…

And to help you, below I’ve listed a simple yet powerful 4-step process that you can implement right away!

Step 1: Identify the Source of Negativity and Take Action

First, identify if the negative feeling is caused from something specific that you can control. If it is, remember that YOU are also responsible for stopping this energy from spreading out into other areas of your life, so confront it right on.

If you can't pinpoint the source, then chances are it's someone else's energy that you've absorbed.

So take action by distancing yourself from anyone that doesn't make you feel good. If it's someone you don't know, in a movie theater for example, don't hesitate to switch places if you suddenly feel affected by their energy.

Step 2: Connect With Your Breath

If you feel a negative vibe, try to find a place where you can be by yourself for a couple of minutes. Close your eyes and try connecting with your breath.

Visualize love and positive energy coming to you every time you inhale and imagine releasing fear every time you exhale. Doing this for a few minutes will not only make you feel better, but also replenished.

Step 3: Surround Yourself With Positive-Minded People

Spending time with people who lift you up and always see the good in every situation will help you disengage from any negative emotions. Every time you surround yourself with love and peace, you shield yourself against any negative energy that could potentially harm you.

Remember that expressing love and compassion also means loving and showing compassion to yourself. So never feel guilty about avoiding a person or a situation that doesn't feel right for you.

Step 4: Enhance Your Abilities

Practicing yoga and meditation, and having your own personal space where you can recharge your energy, are essential tools to help maintain your well-being.

So make replenishing yourself with positive energy, a priority in your day-to-day life!
