Airport security lines have been especially nightmarish lately, and there are a handful of factors to blame: more people flying, new screening procedures, and the TSA is seriously understaffed. It’ll be tough to avoid longer than usual wait times at airports this summer, but a little planning will help you to at least navigate security as fast as possible.
Happy life anyone? Who doesn’t want a happy life? We work, we stress, we run around like crazy, kids, family, home, work, extracurricular activities, life sure is super busy. When do es it get fun? It seems in today’s way of life, we are all working ourselves to the bone in hopes of making ends meet, keeping a nice roof over our heads, making sure there is enough money for little Emily to go to university in 15 years. Yes, life is tough. But there are some things you can start doing today to make life better.
Life doesn’t have to be so hard or unhappy. It is simply as hard as you make it out to be. Here are a few ways to get the most out of life and try to actually enjoy it and not stress so much.
Even to something small like an ice cream cone. Take 5 minutes, more if you can, and go get yourself a nice treat. Something that will make you ridiculously happy. Maybe a flavoured coffee at your favourite café or French fries from the chip stand. Whatever you decide, do it for you.
When we can help someone else, you are guaranteed to feel better. You can donate clothes to your local shelter or donate time if you have it. Even an hour a week. Perhaps you can donate even $5 a week to the pet shelter. No matter what you decide, it will surely make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. You’ll want to do it all the time.
Some people still have resistance to this stating they don’t have enough time to meditate or they can’t calm down long enough to do it. Meditation takes a bit of practice but I guarantee, you can get a good session in, in under 10 minutes. Start practicing. You’ll get the hang of it and soon you won’t be able to go a day without doing it.
Sounds simple enough but why don’t more of us do it if it’s so simple? We are afraid of looking like weirdos walking down the street with a silly grin on our faces but do it anyway and see how much happier you instantly feel. People will smile back. How can that not make your day better?
Every day for at least 5 minutes you should do this and read then out loud. Hear yourself reading them. Say them with meaning and enthusiasm. Today will be an awesome day. Say it again and again. Read lots of different ones or the same one over and over again. However, you choose to do it, make sure you do it. It will instantly make you feel optimistic and look forward to having a great day.
Buy someone a cup of coffee, a homeless person lunch, walk an elderly person across the street. Do something nice for someone you don’t know. A stranger. The world needs more kind and helpful people. If you can’t find one, be one. When we can help someone who can’t help us back, the feeling equates to pure joy.
Some people who may work from home or not work at all tend to lock themselves up and not leave the house for days. You need to get some vitamin D in you and some fresh air. Once you get outside you will see great things like butterflies and chipmunks and all sorts of other ridiculously cute critters. That will make you appreciate the beauty of nature. Go outside more. Do it daily if you can even for 30 minutes.
3 times a week, 30 minutes each time. Trust me on this one. Once you start, the adrenalin rush is like nothing you’ve ever felt before. You will feel strong and empowered and healthy and you may even feel leaner and more toned. It’s possible. And it’s a great feeling. Exercise makes us happy.
Even if it’s only after all the kids have been put to bed or after all your work is done. Whenever it is, mark it on the calendar and do it daily. 15 minutes. Grab a book, get in a nice hot tub, listen to some chill music, whatever makes your soul happy, do that daily.
Either in the morning or the evening, start journaling. It can be a gratitude journal or a hopes and dreams journal or maybe even just your thoughts. Write every day, what you feel, think or want. It’s writing for the soul and it will certainly make you happy.
What kind of things make you happy and help you have a better life? Share them with the other readers below.

You’re reading 5 Important Ways To Overcome Your Limiting Beliefs, originally posted on Pick the Brain | Motivation and Self Improvement. If you’re enjoying this, please visit our site for more inspirational articles.
Whether we like it or not, our beliefs hold sway over our lives more than we care to admit.
In our health, we use excuses such as lacking the time and energy to start an exercise program.
In our relationships, we use excuses, such as work keeping us busy from building up the kinds of relationships we would really like.
In our wealth, we use excuses such as lack of business knowledge or capital to keep us from starting in the first place.
These beliefs are called limiting beliefs.
In each of these cases, our limiting beliefs creates the results that we keep seeing, which only strengthens those beliefs, which keeps limiting us and keeps us in bondage.
The simplest way to reinforce or change our limiting beliefs is to change the thinking that brings about those results in the first place.
When we are able to see changes in our results, we see that a change in our thinking has the power to change our lives.
It’s easy to say that we can change our results by changing our thinking. Yet, we have the chicken-and-the-egg problem. How can we affirm what we want when we have a hard time believing it in our hearts?
We have a discrepancy between what we think and what we are. In the end, what we are beats out what we want to think.
Imagination then is the key to affirmations. Imagination acts as a bridge between what’s now possible in our current reality and what seems impossible in a different reality. Imagination lets us jump from here to the impossible.
When you engage in the daily practice of visualization and affirmations, your thinking slowly changes over time. What was at one time impossible soon changes into what is possible.
You start to feel good because in your visualization, you are already the person you want to be. And of course that makes you feel good. Feeling good leads to you doing more of the same, even if right now it seems far-fetched and impossible. Overtime, you will start believing in what is impossible.
If you are feeling bad, then what you want is likely wrong for you. It’s really as simple as that.
We’re told to think logically. Only illogical, irrational people think with their feelings. When you are able to mix logic, rationality, and feeling good together, then you are headed in the right direction.
If what you want still seems impossible by any stretch of the imagination, try shifting your perception. Ask yourself what someone who already has what you want or has done what you seek to accomplish would do in your shoes. Then take action and do as they would do.
Above all, be brave, embrace failure, and keep taking action. You will likely fail hundreds of times before you find success. Knowing what does not work is just as important as knowing what does work. After all, we learn as much more from our mistakes as we do from success.
Over time, you will build up your intuition, which only comes from building up experience and reference points. And the only way to build up experience and reference points so that you can then call upon your intuition is to just keep trying new things.
Meditation helps you to accept without judgement any thought that enters your mind. The only power a thought or belief has over us is when we choose to give it meaning.
Meditation serves another purpose: It builds up willpower. Willpower is like a muscle. It needs to be constantly worked out in order to get stronger. When we have strong willpower, then we will focus more and more on what we do want, which causes us to take action daily.
Everything suggested today is synergistic. When we visualize, we also start shifting our perceptions in the use our imaginations. This helps us see how to make what we want possible.
Because in our visualization we keep seeing what we really want as already fulfilled, we start living in that vibration. Something unexpected happens over time. We start building up future memory. Future memory is our memories occurring in the future. We put our minds into our future selves and ask what we did to get to here (in the future). Back in our present reality, we start doing and trying those things.
If you dislike where your life is headed, start by looking at the results you are getting. Then change your thinking to change those results.
A change is thinking though is easier said than done, for our thinking mainly comes from the paradigms and mental models of other people.
This requires a creative use of our imaginations to leap to what we do want but seems impossible from where we currently are. Oftentimes, it is necessary to shift your perception in the use of your imagination. When you start feeling good about what you see in your visualizations, then you are heading in the right direction.
That positive feeling will come into play when you meditate and when you practice your affirmations, which only leads to you doing more of the same. When you can finally believe in yourself, you will start taking meaningful action towards what you do what. Overtime, you will start to break your limiting beliefs.
And even if you fail many times in the process of going after what you truly want, you are building up reference points and experience to hone your intuition. Your intuition will in time guide you towards the right direction. But you can only build up your intuition by building up your experience and your reference points.
In other words, you have to take action.

Video editor and redditor Alex Mitchell put together this amazing video of his workspace—it’s minimal, clean, has plenty of room to work and spread out, and of course, keeps work (his Macbook Pro) front and center, and play (his PS4) lurking just around the corner. We love it, and here are some more photos.
