Improve
Your Life in One Minute

Want to make some positive gains in your life? A lot of folks would like
to improve their lifestyle, but just cannot find the time to take action.
Still, the
highest mountain is scaled only step at a time, and the biggest goal is
only accomplished one step at a time. So why not just commit to take one
small step right now?
I suggest
an approach of just focusing on something
you can accomplish in one minute -- just 60 seconds.
You may
surprise yourself. You can actually do quite a bit in only one minute. Here are some ways to use the power of a single minute:
Exercise
for One Minute
No time to go to the gym? OK. Forget about the next 59 minutes, and just
focus on the next one minute. Do a deep breathing exercise, or one minute
of push-ups or sit-ups. After a while you may expand to two minutes --
and wow, you have just made a 200 percent jump.
Relax
for One Minute
Just relax into your chair and suck in a slow deep breath all the way
down into your belly. Then open your mouth slightly, and release your
breath as slowly as you can. Try this right
now to refresh your mind with increased oxygen.
Calm
Your Mind for One Minute
Your mind is a fabulous theater, and contains wonderful visions of your
favorite places. Go visit one of those places for one minute. Just relax
and clear your mind wherever you may be. You’ll come away feeling
refreshed, and a lot calmer and clearer.
Change
Your Outlook for One Minute
You can even experiment going outside your normal self for a minute. Try
acting the exact opposite of how you usually act for one minute. If you
tend to be introverted, think like an extrovert. If you are an engineer,
think like an artist. If you are a man, think like a woman.
Re-Frame
a Problem for One Minute
Choose a problem, then select a different frame of reference to consider
it from. Try considering the problem through the eyes of someone you admire.
Does the problem look different? Try looking at it with the mind Albert
Einstein or Bill Gates or Martha Stewart. Now how does the problem look?
Be
Happy for One Minute
Maybe you are currently overwhelmed with problems and challenges beyond
your control. Try finding something to give thanks for, and focus on being
grateful. Forget any current or past tragedies or disasters, and let yourself
be happy for one minute.
You really
can achieve wonders in just one minute. And these single minutes can add
up to a greatly improve quality of life. Give it a try!
