    50 Life Secrets and Tips

    1. Memorize something everyday.Not only will this leave your brain sharp and your memory functioning, you will also have a huge l ibrary of quotes to

    bust out at any moment. Poetry, sayings and philosophies are your best options.

    2. Constantly try to reduce your attachment to possessions.Those who are heavy set with material desires will have a lot of trouble when their things are taken away from them or

    lost. Possessions do end up owning you, not the other way around. Become a person of minimal needs and you will bemuch more content.

    3. Develop an endless curiosity about this world.Become an explorer and view the world as your jungle. Stop and observe all of the little things as completely un ique

    events. Try new things. Get out of your comfort zone and try to experience as many different environments and

    sensations as possible. This world has so much to offer, so why not take advantage of it?

    4. Remember peoples namesso that they feel appreciated and for your own future benefit when you want something from that person. To do this, say

    4KLike

    their name back to them when they introduce themselves. Then repeat the name in your head a number of times until you

    are sure you have it. Continue to use their name in conversation as much as possible to remove any chance of forgetting

    it. If youre still having trouble, make up a rhyme about their name: Dan the Man or Natalie flatters me.

    5. Get fit!Its ridiculous to think that we have one body, one sole means of functioning, and people are too lazy to take care of

    themselves. Fit bodies lead to better health , confidence and more success with romantic endeavors. Id say those are 3

    very good reasons to get in shape.

    6. Learn to focus only on the present.The past is unchangeable so it is futile to reflect on it unless you are making sure you do not repeat past mistakes. The

    future is but a result of your actions today. So learn from the past to do better in the present so that you can succeed in the

    future.

    7. Even more specifically, live in THIS moment.Even 10 minutes ago is the past. If you live purely in this moment you will always be happy because there is nothing

    wrong in this split-second.

    8. Smile more often.Whenever you get a grin on your face, your brain is releasing serotonin , the happy hormone. Smiling is the natural way toforce yourself to be happy. Many people even smile for five minutes straight in the morning to get themselves in a great

    mood for the day. It is a very powerful tool that is utilized less and less as we grow older and need happiness more than

    ever. Just remember that while happiness leads to smiles, smiles also lead to happiness.

    9. Drink water.Hydration is tremendously important for overall health. Soda has absolutely ZERO nutritional content; its like pouring a

    punch of sugar and syrup in to your cup. Instead, fill it with life-replenishing water. It may taste plain at first if youre

    coming off of a heavy soda-drinking streak, but youll soon find yourself addicted to it . 10 glasses per day is optimal,

    how many have you been getting lately?

    10. Dont take life so seriously!Learn to laugh at the little things and this whole existence thing will be a whole lot easier. Be amused by your mistakes

    and failures and be thankful that you learned your lesson and wont mess up like that again. And most importantly do

    things that you enjoy! Life is not strictly business, it can be mixed with pleasure.

    11. Think positive thoughts.When you find yourself thinking a negative thought, stop it immediately by any means necessary. Slap yourself in the

    face, yell something positive at the top of your lungs or jump up and down. Do whatever it takes to get back to a positive

    mindset as such is essential for continual happiness and success.

    12. Read books.No explanation needed.

    13. Get in the sun.Superman was completely re-energized when he flew out to space and soaked in some rays and you can do the same right

    outside your front door (if you live in a constant ly dreary place, my apologies). The sun feels amazing: your entire body

    will be coursing with warmth and life.

    14. Help others.

  • 8/6/2019 50 Life Secrets and Tips | High Existence - Stumble Upon

    3/22

    Ill just give you a plethora of reasons why this is a MUST

    Helping people has a ripple effect. If you help someone they will feel more obliged to help someone else, and so

    on. Pay it forward

    You grow by giving and helping others. It can change you in ways you never expected

    Your relationship with that person will become stronger

    Its the most fulfilling thing you can do on this planet. It not only feels amazing physically, you also feel like a

    good person

    You might be able to call in a favor later when you need some helpKarma (if you believe in it)

    Because there are more people in this world than just you

    15. Set aside a specific time to worry each day.Ponder all of your problems and anxieties during that time so that they will not distract you during work or moments of

    pleasure. This way you can be extremely efficient with your time and avoid focusing on negative things as much as

    possible. If you get all of your worry out of the way and have the mental fortitude to keep from reverting back to them,

    you will be much happier on the daily.

    16. Be honest at all times.Lies lead to nothing but trouble. Being known as trustworthy is an excellent trait to maintain and essential to having

    integrity.

    17. Sleep less.Fully adjusting to a new sleep cycle can take up to 21 days so dont give up if you feel tired after switching to 5-hour

    nights. The required 8 hour/night is for normal peop le. If youre reading THIS article on THIS site, you are not normal.

    So figure out how much sleep YOU really need and adjust accordingly. As enjoyable as sleep is, waking existence is

    much more fulfilling and efficient. IF this really sparks your interest, check out alternate sleep cycles with which you can

    be fine off of 2 hours of sleep per day.

    18. Read Bringers of Light and Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch.These books will help you decide what you want to do in this life and how to get to that point. They will also profoundly

    change the way you look at the purpose of existence. Read them!

    19. Figure out what your goals and dreams are.So many people wander aimlessly through life simply go for whatever small thing they want moment by moment.

    Instead, decide what your perfect life consists of and begin to put the steps in motion to reach that place. The most

    satisfying thing in the world (yes, better than sex, much better) is overcoming a chal lenge and reaching a goal . We are the

    happiest when we are growing and working towards something bet ter.

    20. Start your day off right.Wake up and set aside an hour for personal development activi ties (meditation, self-introspection, observing nature, etc.)

    Do the things that make you feel blissful, optimistic and empowered so that you can set a positive tone for your day. I

    guarantee that once you start doing this, your days will be more enjoyable and fulfilling. Today is going to be the best

    day of your life. Duh.

    21. Utilize The Burning Method.Whenever a fear or worry or complaint comes to mind, close your eyes and imagine writing down the thought on a piece

    of a er. Then roceed to li ht the a er and fire and watch it disinte rate. Even better actuall write it down and burn

  • 8/6/2019 50 Life Secrets and Tips | High Existence - Stumble Upon

    4/22

    it. You wont have any problem ridding your mind of the thought after doing this.

    22. Travel.Anyone who has ever gone anywhere will tell you that traveling is one of the most exciting and

    life-changing activities that you can do. Observing a different culture will expand your mind

    while making you further appreciate the life you already live. This goes back to becoming an

    explorer: this world is your jungle so go explore! Who knows, maybe youll find a place you

    love so much that you decide to move. Imagine the positive repercussions a new environment

    could have on your life.

    23. The Rubber Band MethodThis is the third and final way to rid yourself of negative thoughts (hopefully by now you have figured out that this is

    very important!). Place a rubber band around your wrist and snap it against your skin anytime a negative thought finds its

    way into your head. This classical conditioning technique associates a slight pain with negative thoughts like Pavlov

    associated food/salivation with the sound of a bell. Sounds a bit cruel at first but it only stings for a second, I promise.

    Plus the outcome, having only positive thoughts, far outweighs a little slap on the wrist here and there.

    24. Learn to be unaffected by the words of others.Most people get very upset when they are called negative names by others, but there is a simple trick to overcoming this.

    Here it is: If I went up to you and called you a fire hydrant, would you be upset? Of course not. Obviously you are not a

    fire hydrant, you are a human being. The same concept applies to when someone calls you something that you know you

    are not. They are foolish for saying such things, so why would you react with such anger? The only except ion is when

    someone calls you something that is true! In this case, you should thank them for alerting you to a weakness, one that

    you can now work on changing.

    25. Read Zen and the Art of Happiness by Chris Prentiss.This book will give you the knowledge and instruction to be happy at all times regardless of the circumstances. Yes, this

    sounds like an oversimplification of happiness, but I assure you that this book will change you in an amazing way.

    26. Develop the ability to forgive.Forgiveness is something that most people fail miserably at even thought its so simple. Grudges only bring more misery

    to those who hold them and prevent good relations with the target. YOU makes mistakes all of the time so why not have

    mercy when other do? Remaining angry feels horrible while forgiving someone brings a refreshing sensation to the mind

    and healing to the relationship.

    27. Be the person that makes others feel special.Be known for your kindness and sympathy.

    28. Learn to lucid dream, or to realize when you are dreaming so that you can control your dreams. Sleep feels good, but i ts rather boring and

    unproductive. With lucid dreaming under your belt, night time can be even more exciting than when you are awake. You

    can do anything: fly, travel to other planets, party with a celebrity, get int imate with your dream boy/g irl, etc. Many lucid

    dreams have also reported being able to speak directly with the subconscious during dreams by demanding to be taken to

    it after becoming lucid. For those that know a thing or two about your subconscious, that is a BIG deal.

    29. Visualize daily.It has been said and proven t ime and time again that what you focus on is what you get. If you complain all of the time,

    you will run into more of the things you complain about. The same goes for good things like health , wealth and

  • 8/6/2019 50 Life Secrets and Tips | High Existence - Stumble Upon

    5/22

    happiness. So spend some time in the morning imagining yourself achieving whatever it is that you currently desire.

    Focus is key in this exercise, so choose a quiet environment where you wont be disturbed. If youre having trouble

    focusing and continually find that your mind has wandered to something else, read about meditation in the following life

    tip. There is a lot more to this concept, so check out the full article on visualization and the law of attraction here .

    30. Meditate everyday for at least 20 minutes.In this modern world where everyone is so connected to everything else via cell phones, TV and internet, most people

    rarely enjoy the beauty of silence. The ability to quiet your mind and relax your body is an art and skill that everyone

    should develop. Simply sit somewhere, preferably in nature, and focus on your breathing or try to think about nothing.

    This is going to be extremely hard at first! You might find it boring or just plain impossible to think of nothing, but you

    will get better and you will learn to love it. Post-meditation, you will feel extremely clear headed and.. well, just plain

    wonderful. The only way to really understand this sensation is to try it.

    31. Learn to control your mind.What kind of skilled human are you if you cannot even control your own thoughts? While the human mind is described

    as being a stream of consciousness, that does not mean you cant decide where your stream flows. Techniques like

    meditation and the 3 ways to flush out negative thoughts will aid you immensely in learning to control your mind.

    32. Learn to control your emotions.The only person that can make you unhappy is you! You are the one that decides to be affected by the words and actions

    of others. Realize this so that the next time you experience a negative emotion, you can find the strength within yourself

    to overcome it.

    33. Take a class in speed reading.Books are full of information that can enhance your knowledge-base, vocabulary and yourself as a person. Speed reading

    is an easy way to get at this info faster so that you can have more time for other endeavors.

    34. Relax!

    This one is for you work-o-holics out there (myself included). Yes, work is very important and productive bu t you need totake some time to chill out everyday or you are going to burn out faster than a candle with no oxygen. Additionally, you

    need to reward yourself for a job well done. Whats the use of doing all of that work if you cant have a little fun from

    time to time anyways?

    35. Work on making good first impressions.Practice a strong, firm handshake and the small talk that generally goes along with meeting someone for the first time.

    People wont know what to think of you if you have nothing more to say beyond My name is _______, nice to meet

    you. Also make sure you remember names, as mentioned previously. Who knows, you may be going into business with

    or marrying this person youre meeting for the first time if you make a good impression. Be sure and make an excellent

    one.

    36. Learn to use your eyes to their full potential:Make constant eye contact when in conversation. Looking away (especially down) is a sign of inferiority and

    unsureness. Instead, look at your conversation partner dead in the eyes and keep them locked on

    Master the piercing stare. You know when someone looks at you and it feels like they can see into your soul?

    Well thats not a hereditary characteristic, it just takes practice. Work on sharpening your gaze in the mirror.

    Youll know you have it when its intimidating to continue looking at yourself

    Master the one-eyebrow raise. This one isnt necessary by any means, but hey, why not? Pick a brow to learn with

  • 8/6/2019 50 Life Secrets and Tips | High Existence - Stumble Upon

    6/22

    and go look in a mirror. Raise both of your eyebrows but use your hand to hold down the brow that you want to

    stay down. This will probably feel very stupid at first but i f you keep trying, you will eventually pin down the

    muscle you need to flex to get that one brow up

    37. Be mysterious.Dont let off everything about you and definitely leave out some major details. There is something both alluring and

    mesmerizing about someone that no one knows fully about. Im not saying to confide in no one or to alienate yourself.

    Just think James Bond.

    38. Come up with a life mantra.You know, like Carpe Diem or Live life to the fullest, but not as clich. Make it something that really hits home with

    you so that you will actually stick to it. Make sure it not so specific that it rarely applies but also not so general that its

    not personal.

    39. Get good at something.Call it a hobby or a passion, whatever it is, just get damn good at it. Your occupation does not count! Make it something

    that you can practice often enough to excel at. Examples: Magic tricks, surfing, ping pong, creating short films, and

    unicycling. It can be anything but I would recommend choosing something that: 1) You are passionate about 2) You can

    bust out at any moment to display your skills for any discerning crowd. My mind goes immediately to aerobatics and

    break dancing, but thats just me.

    40. Work out those abs.Above any other muscle group in the entire body, the abs are the most important. They constitute your core, the center

    point of your body. Your ability to balance comes almost completely from the strength of your abdominal muscles and

    balance is vital to performance in any physical activity. Summary: theyre very important. For more info on how to work

    out your abs, check out this video .

    41. Keep your brain sharp.The majority of people are stuck in ruts. They go to the same job everyday, hang out with the same friends and eat at thesame places. While that may feel safe, its not the most stimulat ing lifestyle for your brain. Those synapses have been

    built up enough, so try something that you do NOT know how to do! Buy a model car kit, master the art of sudoku or

    crosswords, or go pick up another major at your nearest college. The point is you need to be learning new things to keep

    your brain honest. Form new synapses by forcing your mind to work in ways it has not worked before. Just like physical

    workouts, doing too much of the same exercise will eventually give no results. Switch it up!

    42. Read something inspirational right before bed and after waking.This will set get you in a great mood for sleep and for the day. Read anything from a famous speech to your favorite self-

    improvement book. Try to read something that gets you really excited in the morning especially so that youll leave

    your house beaming with energy and wonder.

    43. Do what you love.There is a huge difference between making a life and making a living; which one are you

    making right now? So many spend their entire lives trying to make as much money as possible

    so that they can afford to do what they really want later. It makes no sense to settle in life unt il

    youre 65 so that you can retire and do what you want when youre already WAY past your

    prime. We only live life once so why wouldnt you want to spend it pursuing your bliss? To do

    anything else would be a tragic waste of the freedom you are allowed if you are reading this

    right now. Follow your bliss and you will be a thousand t imes more happy than your retirement

    7/22

    date and 40+ years younger.

    44. Choose your friends wisely.You are affected far more than you think by the people you spend your time with. Do your friends share your values? Do

    they encourage you when you speak of your goals and dreams or do they scoff? Make sure the people around you are

    conducive to the lifestyle you want to lead or you will find yourself being dragged again and again into behavior that

    distances you from your desires. Friends with a habit o f producing negat ive thoughts will especially hinder you. This can

    be a hard task to follow through with if you realize you good friend is one of these saboteurs, but you must be firm! Dont

    let anyone get in the way of you being all that you can be.

    45. Dont burn bridges.By that I mean maintain your relationships with people even if you think you are never going to see them again. For

    example, if you are quitting your job, dont chew out your boss before leaving! You might run into him/her again later

    and life and wish you had never severed ties so harshly. You never know when you might need the help of someone you

    knew in the past. Plus there is already too much hatred in this world, why add more towards the people you interact with?

    46. Keep a journal/diary.It sounds like a very monotonous habit at first, but when you get into it, that little book will become a great way to

    organize your thoughts and track your growth over the years. Most of us already stay awake in bed at night pondering the

    events of the day anyways so why not document those thoughts in an organized fashion? That will allow you to look

    back and observe how your way of thinking has changed over time.

    47. Read New Pyscho-Cybernetics by Dr. Maxwell Maltz.This book will explain why the content of your thoughts has such a profound effect on your life through religious,

    philosophical and scientific arguments. A must read for completely understand who this life thing works.

    48. Learn to use and trust your subconscious/intuition.When you spend t ime in silence everyday, listen not for words but for a feeling that tells you to do something. Do not

    mistake your own reasoning and thoughts for those of your subconscious. If you can track where the thought came from,(this thought led to that thought which led to this thought, etc.) then it was not from your subconscious. Learning to

    accurately discern between the two will allow you to tap into knowledge that you dont consciously have.

    49. Develop a charismatic personality.You know, the kind of personality that is surrounded by people constantly and is the life of the party. Start visualizing

    yourself as THAT person. Maybe take a short course on dynamic speaking and learn some jokes. Take the time to learn

    some party tricks and sleight of hand. Most importantly, believe that you already are charismatic even if you fail at beign

    the center point of the next party. Lie to yourself constant ly and tell yourself that you are more warm and gregarious than

    Ronald Regan. Belief is the first step! Reality will come soon after.

    50. Love is all there is.If you t ruly want to be a master of life, let love be in your every action. Love your friends, family and enemies alike. This

    is the most difficult thing to do out of this enti re list, which is why it is listed at #50. But if you accomplish this, you will

    be seen as a leader among everyone that allows hate, envy, disgust and all other negative emotions into their lives. Think

    Gandhi. Love is so rare in this world when compared to the massive presence of hate that by exuding love, you will

    immediately see yourself and the people around you change. Love. Love. Love.

    A lot of these tips are really great. Heres a little more instruction on how to be more charismatic:instead of visualizing yourself as charismatic, visualize someone who you already think ischarismatic. Then visually step into their place. This is a great technique for taking on personalitycharacteristics from other people.

    Thanks!

    Well unless youre an amazing lucid dreamer, sleep is an idle state for you. Im an efficiencyfreak so sleep, to me, is a waste of time. Especially if I can go about it in more productive waysand get more done in my waking hours :)

    A little cheesy and a lot of it already in action. Some minor spelling errors, mostly grammatical, and aseemingly unconscious bias towards ideals in relation to human logic. (This is very slight howeverand will more often than not go unnoticed by most.) In overview, an amusing read worthy of note,and acknowledgment toward the grains of insight this article offers to it author and readers alike.

Ive written down most of the things on this list that I want tofully implement into my life right away. Your a great inspiration and I would really like to see youwrite a book on all this stuff. Ive read other blogs/books but none were as well written as anythingon here.

    -Keep up the good work!

    Awesome write up! Ive seen similar lists done before but I am definitely coming back to this one. Iwant to spend some time reading through it a bit slower and make a list of the books youverecommended in it. Good stuff, keep it up. I am jealous, youve had over 100k of stumbles. For thelife of me I cant figure out the right way to approach this on my site.Thanks again,Vitaliy

    . .

    Memorize something everyday.

    Heres something to memorize: Its every day. Its two separate words. The one-word version is anadjective. For example, My everyday life is burdened by those who are functionally illiterate.Commit that to memory and pass it on.

    Hey Jordan

    I stumbled upon this page of your site, liked it, and then decided to explore the rest of your site. Itsall awfully interesting stuff. But I came back to this page to make sure I bookmarked it. Then I got tothinking, I bookmark tons of sites, and I never really come back to them. And these 50 things arethings I want to think about every day. So I wrote down each bolded part on one sheet of paper that Ipromise I will carry with me always. I want all these things to be habits in my life, every day of mylife. Thank you Jordan, youve probably made me a better person.
