6 habits of a happy brain

Devote 10 minutes of your time every day to think about your goals, gather information, and take action. Not much time or money is required to take the first step toward a goal. To move the mountain ten minutes is not enough, but to approach it and see it precisely this time is enough. Gathering information to make a real plan is an alternative to dreaming about our goals. Please do it for forty-five days.  By using our time to research the necessary steps, we will get a dopamine feeling. Having spent ten minutes, we return to living in the present. Kick the habit of constant focus on the future.

Divide an Unpleasant Task Into Small Parts

Make a commitment to spend 10 minutes a day on the dread task. The dread task can be a mess inside our closet or our relationship. Only the willingness to start is enough. You do not need to come up with a solution at first. Try to sort out the mess in your closet just for ten minutes. Tackle your chunks every day. Do not give up for forty-five days. Without a doubt, you are not in control of other people or your closet’s content, but you go on, and your optimistic expectations trigger your dopamine.
