“Let’s keep it simple. Let’s nutshell it all. Live. Love. Laugh. Celebrate. There’s power in choosing joy. Love yourself. Accept yourself, even when you don’t feel like it. Respect yourself. Speak well of yourself. Train your mind to think the best. Speak to yourself with kindness and encouragement, the way you would to a close friend or a child just starting to explore the world. This is not about empty self-help clichés.

It’s about rewiring your brain. Neuroscience shows that self-directed kindness physically reshapes the brain. Research from Dr. Kristin Neff, a leading expert on self-compassion, proves that when you treat yourself with warmth and understanding, your levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, decrease, while oxytocin, the love and bonding hormone, increases. The result?

Less stress, greater resilience, and a stronger ability to take on life’s challenges. Most people, however, do the opposite. They are their own worst critics, constantly tearing themselves down, believing that self-judgment somehow leads to improvement. But the research is clear: beating yourself up does not make you better, it paralyzes you. So, what’s the alternative?

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Love yourself as if you were a small child learning to walk for the first time. Would you shame that child for falling? No. As I always say, you would not punt the baby! You’d celebrate every attempt, encourage them to keep going, and delight in their progress. You’d remind them that stumbling is part of learning. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt. Be gentle. Nudge yourself forward.

No one is perfect when learning to do something new. And life? Life is always new. Each day, each moment, presents a fresh opportunity to embrace growth and joy. There is a science to joyful living. A formula that works. Smile more. It sounds simple, but did you know that smiling, even when you don’t feel happy, triggers physiological changes in the brain? Try it. Try it. Try it. Remember to do it. Feel down. Smile and smile more.

A famous study by Dr. Paul Ekman demonstrated that forced smiling can truly make people feel happier by activating neural pathways associated with positive emotions. The brain doesn’t distinguish between a genuine smile and a ‘fake’ one; it simply responds to the action by releasing dopamine and serotonin, lifting your mood naturally. Laugh! Laughter isn’t just about humor. It’s medicine!

Remember Norman Cousins? How about Dr. Lee Berk at Loma Linda University? Berk found that laughter reduces stress, strengthens the immune system, and even improves cardiovascular health. When you laugh, your body produces endorphins, which are natural painkillers. Laughing regularly is like giving your body an internal massage, it keeps everything flowing smoothly. These are many of the things I share in my courses!

Move your body. Dance, sing, skip, take a walk in nature. Movement is medicine. Harvard Medical School research confirms that moderate exercise not only strengthens the heart but also enhances brain function and emotional well-being. When you move, your body produces brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that supports cognitive function and prevents anxiety and depression. Nature is a healer.

Walk barefoot on the grass. Ground yourself. Studies on ‘earthing’ or ‘grounding’ suggest that direct contact with the Earth’s surface helps reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and increase overall energy levels. The Earth itself carries a negative charge. By connecting with it balances the body’s electrical system. I began sharing these practices in the 70’s which became part of my breakthrough Mind Design™ * Course in the 80s!

The compound effect is that by taking small steps you can create big results.  ‘You eat an elephant bite by bite.’ No reason to bite off more than you can chew. Take it easy. Have faith. Know that if you do just a little bit each day, you’re already ahead of the game. One percent improvement daily leads to massive transformation over time. Author James Clear agrees too in Atomic Habits, small, consistent actions create compounding success.

Think of a plane adjusting its trajectory by just one degree. Over a short distance, the difference is minor. But over thousands of miles, that tiny shift completely alters the destination. Your daily habits work the same way. A small positive shift in thought, speech, or action today, if repeated, can completely transform your life a year from now. A little bit each day adds up. You will surprise yourself soon. But there’s a high cost for inaction

Let’s get really real now! What happens if you don’t change it? What happens if you let negative thoughts, limiting beliefs, and external circumstances control you? Stress. Regret. Lost opportunities. Your mind will continue running the same old program. You’ll keep waiting for happiness ‘someday’ instead of creating it today. Meanwhile, life keeps passing you by. The cost of inaction is greater than the cost of change.

Staying the same is what’s truly expensive, it costs you joy, freedom, and fulfillment. How is it people remain the same? They do nothing. Or they dabble. They think they can do it alone. They refuse to leave their comfort zone. They do the same things day in and day out without getting the results they desire because they don’t take the chance to explore new opportunities and possibilities. Their thinking remains the same AND …

THEY DON’T REALIZE IT! Their thinking keeps them stuck because they can’t notice what they do or don’t do. They miss the blind spots. So, the miss! AND That’s why I created Mind Design™ and my new course Create Your Best Life Using Einstein and Tesla’s Genius™ . Because the way you think matters. It dictates your emotions, your actions, and your results.

What you need is someone who believes in you MORE than you do. Someone who can see your potential and help inspire, uplift and help motivate you to do your best. Why? Because you are capable of more than you realize. I want to help you discover this about yourself so you change yourself and become the person for whom creating your best life ever is easy. I want to help you put an end to the struggling and start winning.
