Habit Series #1

Did you know that 95% of our actions are from habits while only 5% are cognitive thought?

Like a computer's operating system, your habits or belief system - programmed since you were an infant - can be easily replaced by new programming.

The Habit Series will teach you how to program good habits unlocking your inner genius and reaching your true potential in life. One good habit begets another good habit creating momentum, called the "Big Mo" in Darren Hardy's Compound Effect.

Here is the catch: you have to take action everyday for 40-days consecutively to create a habit. If you miss a day, you must start over. That simple, but not easy.

The difference between success and failure is practicing good habits everyday instead of bad ones.

HABIT #1:

RESET YOUR HEAD: Change your brain chemistry to change your outlook in 3 minutes.

Inside the current issues of Success Magazine, Dr. James Rouse speaks about optimizing wellness - foundation to his approach is "Think, Eat, Move" - by recharging your mental energy in 3 minutes:

Minute 1: Big Yawn - in your chair or standing up, let out some big yawns. This act increases the pleasure hormone oxytocin

Minute 2: Run on the spot - oxygenates your brain, lowers stress hormone cortisol while increasing dopamine (confidence, motivation)

Minute 3: Mantra - breath and repeat "I am a genius", the act of affirming goodness augment more serotonin (calmness & feeling centred)

Do this throughout the day as many times or anytime after focussing on a task when you feel stress.

The hospitality industry is granular business that requires your full attention where emergencies take you off course and being sharp is the only way to be productive. Especially when you are dealing with people - guests and staff - you need to be in a high-positive state.
