1. Your body is actually designed to get four hours of sleep twice per day instead of eight hours once. Naps are healthy!
2. The first things people notice about you, subconsciously, are your shoes. Dress to impress.
3. If you want someone to really listen, start a conversation off with “I shouldn’t be telling you this, but…”
4. When working out, try listening to an audio book. You’ll get into the plot and want to hear more, making you want to work out more.
5. If a bee or wasp lands on you, blow on them to get them off instead of slapping them. This way they won’t feel threatened and retaliate by stinging you.
6. One of the best and most delicious ways to cure a hangover is to drink a banana milkshake.
7. Talking to yourself may seem crazy, but it can actually lead to increased behavioral performance, better task performance, and can make you feel better about yourself. But only if you use the second person (you/your).
8. Want to read faster? Chew gum. This can double or even triple your reading speed because it distracts the brain signals from your eyes, ears, and mouth by giving them something to focus on.
9. When meeting someone for the first time, try to refer to them by their name during conversation. People love being referred to by their name, and it establishes a sense of trust and friendship right away.
10. By getting involved in multi-level marketing/pyramid schemes, you have a 99.92% change of LOSING money. Remember this.
11. Try eating with your non-dominant hand. Making small changes in your actions can rewire your mind and that means big positive changes in your habits.
12. Faking confidence can positively influence your brain chemistry and actually make you more confident.
