How to Stay Positive in Life

San Francisco, CA (February 17, 2017) – In a world surrounded by depression, and other mental illnesses, it can be extremely difficult to find the good things in life. That is why positive thinking is such an important part of living. With a few simple techniques, a day can go from being the worst ever experienced, to something that is easier to tolerate – it may not be an amazing day, but it can be turned into a better one!

Negativity is spreading around the world like a disease. With how wide-spread depression is, the most used remedy has been to take pills to try and counteract it. What if there was a way to become a happier person without having to take medication every day? What if all you had to do was change your frame of mind?

It’s easier than one might think. Yes, there’s the phrase “it’s easier said than done,” but this is merely an excuse to not try. With practice, negative thoughts can be removed from life like they are nothing but garbage being taken out to the curb for pickup. It’s impossible to be rid of ever having negative thoughts again, but there are ways to lessen the amount – and those that are unavoidable can be changed into positive thinking.

It can be difficult knowing where to start when it’s easier to remain a negative individual. That’s why Know It Express’ book, “Positive Thinking Express,” is so handy. It explains that it can be a difficult process but explains how to start in a simple way. Following the steps given are definitely not “easier said than done,” in this case. Once the process is locked into everyday life, it will be wonder how it wasn’t included in the life style to begin with!

In fact, you can be funny even if you’re not by following a few simple guidlines. Making people laugh isn’t so much about what you say, but how you say it, when you say it, and in what context.

If you’re serious about learning how to easily be funny, here’s how you can approach humor:

• Isolate What Makes You Laugh

The first step towards being funny is knowing what makes YOU laugh. That’s right, ask yourself what makes you giggle a giggity (nothing perverted of course).

Once you isolate what you laugh at,  use that to come up with all sorts of jokes others can relate to. Most likely your sense of humor is akin to a lot of people, even if you don’t think so.

• Consider Regular Life as Comedy

The biggest source for humor is drawn from everyday life. Some comedians have made a career out of this notion with asking questions about mundane things. Heck, there are even television shows that are essentially about “nothing,” and yet they are comedy gold in the eyes of millions. Why? Because they have a lot of relatable humor that is found in regular life

Chances are you have your own questions about your life, what you do, where things come from, etc.  Once you figure them out, ask yourself the question “What can be funny about this?” If you can address this question, you’ll have humorous responses, or what we like to call the “punchlines” for the laugh.

Here’s a quick example: “I go to school by day, and work at McDonald’s by night.” Ask yourself “What can be funny about this previous statement someone said or if it’s describing your life?” The hidden humor could be a superhero identity at McDonald’s. “Do you bring your cape to McDonald’s?”

• Use Embarrassing Stories to Your Advantage

A go-to solution you can always use is self-deprecation humor by making fun of yourself.  The oldest forms of comedy utilize slapstick; the man falling on a banana peel used to bring about uproar. Why? Because it’s totally embarrassing to slip on a banana peel.

Think about embarrassing stories from your past, and tell them. While those experiences my have been an ego bruised when you went through them, but being long gone in the past, they will just be fainted memories that you can share a great laugh with others.

Today’s Faster Way to Solve Any Problem with Information is a post from: KnowIt Express

Backed up by science, you can actually improve your memory capacity and learn faster on a larger scale.

Here are methods you can use to solve the mystery of your lost keys, missed appointments and retain more information.

Become a Human Sponge

Ever heard of memory retention? It is the percentage information you’re exposed to that you actually store in your long-term memory.

They are different ways to remember things, and each has a different level of retention rate. Teaching to others, practicing by doing, and engaging in discussions are the highest methods you can use to remember information much quicker. Respectively, you can expect to retain 90%, 75% and 50% of the information using them.

Let’s say, for example, you have been hired by a company and the work material is heavy. You are looking to improve your knowledge to advance your career in your current organization.

Here is how you can incorporate them to absorb the material faster:

• First, start discussing the material with other coworkers. The cognitive effort of consolidating the concepts you just learn will strengthen your comprehension much faster than just reading the work booklet.

• Practice by doing. It is the easiest part to do because you actually get paid to do so. Work at a high pace, take extra tasks and put into practice everything you learn. Do not be afraid of mistakes; they are indicators of a healthy learning process.

• The highest retention rate is when you get to share the knowledge and teach it to someone else. Help a new coworker in a similar position by offering a mentorship on the job.

At school, most students stick to reading their textbooks. Do not be like them.

• Discuss complex concepts with classmates, suggest a weekly meeting for an hour where you discuss the lesson learned during the week.

• Do you attend math classes? Solve as problems as you possibly can. If you are in non-technical classes such as psychology and English literature, write a lot! The kinesthetic activity of writing brings out your sense of touch and allows you to be involved with the material at a deeper level, which increases the retention rate.

• Teach to others. Ask a friend in a different area who has no clue of your field of study, and teach him or her what you know. At 90%, it is the best way to memorize and by far the fastest.

Use a Work Frame

Part of the reason why you can’t remember things properly is based on the structure of your memorization process.

Daniel Levitin, a neuroscientist at McGill University, advances that in order to remember things that move around, such as your car keys, you must make a premortem system, a framework that will allow you to find your things no matter what.

In moments of stress, your body releases cortisol, which causes cloudy thinking. The hippocampus (and no, it’s not a dinosaur), is the structure of the brain that keeps track of where your items are. It is good for things that do not move around, but not for things that do.

The daily stress of life constantly affects your memory’s performance. This explains why your keys seem to move by themselves.

So how do you remember where your keys are, no matter the situation, you ask?

• Have a specific location for your keys. Always place them there habitually for it to be an automatic response for your subconscious to snap your memory that it’s around there if you ever forget. Place some labels (“Place keys here.”) if you have to.

Memory is like a story created by rote repetition made into a habit.

But what about your doctor’s appointment or any event?

• Unless it’s a weekly or daily thing done repetitively into a habit, you need to take it out of your head to be manifested onto something tangible like writing it down or inputting into your phone. The distractions and everything that go on in your life will deter your attention from it.

• There is a little mind hack you can do. Remember those events like your relative’s wedding or friend’s housewarming party. Home come you didn’t forget those? Because you made it into a grand spectacular occasion that you were looking forward to, contrasted to something trivial like a doctor’s appointment that doesn’t really excite you. Take that same sensational perception of an event you look forward to going over to something you’re naturally less enthusiastic about.

There is no such thing as a perfect 100% retention rate. However, with the power of science on your side, you now have the keys to getting a true sense of optimal learning and memory retention.

For the most part, cosmetic makeup and any element placed topically on the skin are used to cover blemishes and other skin problems.

Now there’s nothing wrong with them for enhancing one’s appearance, but if you want to rejuvenate natural, healthy skin, you’ll need to take some steps away from the makeup counter and start focusing on natural elements to regain skin elasticity.

In other words, let’s perform a skin detox.

Step 1 – Stop Putting on Make Up

This is not forever, mind you. While you’re looking to reveal and revitalize your skin, you’ll want to stop putting this stuff on the skin for the time being. You’ll want to go through a skin detox process.

That being said, take at least a weekend to avoid putting on anything on your face. Instead, you’re going to allow the skin cells to breathe, and produce natural oils and remove toxicity naturally.

This is the beginning step. If you break out, that’s ok, you’ll find that it is just the skin’s way of removing toxicity.

Step 2 – Wash Your Face with Moisturizing Soap

Look for an all-natural moisturizing soap. You should wash your face with this type of soap before bed.

You need the ingredients to sit on your face for at least a few minutes to penetrate the dermal layers. You’ll feel better and your skin will start to regain their youthful appearance.

This doesn’t happen overnight, so you will need to do this every day you’re not wearing makeup.

Step 3 – Apply Nutrient Rich Moisturizing Cream

Find a natural, botanical moisturizing cream and apply it on the third day of your detox.

You want to give your skin a little bit of moisture, and nutrients that come from botanicals. This will help your cells regrow and the dead skin sweep away faster.

You will find that this will feel refreshing and you will be able to look younger, feel better, and start to see your natural beauty start to shine through.

The biggest thing to remember about your skin detox is to not use makeup. Makeup is going to derail your goal here. Do this detox at least once a month and over time, you will rely less on makeup to cover up skin flaws but instead rejuvenate flawless skin.

For more skin care best practices, you can find them all customized for the different skin types within Skin Care Express.

How to Rejuvenate Your Skin Naturally is a post from: KnowIt Express

To reduce fatigue, and gain endurance as well as stamina, there are a few things that you can start doing today that are not only going to help you push through your days but also be more energetically active as well.

Although won’t manifest results overnight, they will help you build towards a better work day.

• Change Up Your Workout

In order to gain valuable endurance, you should start walking then after a minute start running, then jog, then walk again. This is called interval training. You want to push your body through different intervals of exertion so that you are able to train your lungs to utilize air efficiently. This also helps with muscle memory, and stamina.

Warm up for 10 minutes, then take on a challenge of walking, running, and jogging intervals at around 1 minute to 2 minutes each, alternating after segmented energy rushes.

• Start Lifting Weights

OK for all you muscle meathead snobs, we’re not talking to you right now. The goal here is not to bulk up. You want to reduce fat cells and increase muscle tissue across your body. This also helps with oxygen, circulation, and stamina.

If you just work on aerobics, you will not build the right muscle components to help you over time. Weight lifting helps create better circulation, and gives your body a stress test that will pay off when you’re going through tough days on your feet. Again, this is not to “bulk” up, it’s to help burn fat, and create striated muscle across your body.

• Start Swimming

This may seem odd for some. The thing is, swimming offers you several benefits across the board.

Your body is going to regulate oxygen, and exert a lot of stress through your muscles. It may seem easy at first, but after a few laps, you’ll be fatigued. This will boost your stamina and your lung capacity will rise exponentially. You want your lung capacity to increase to improve your movements and endurance during daily activities. If you can get more oxygen into your lungs, and distributed throughout your body, you will not feel strain and exhausted as fast.

Swimming is just an excellent substitution for running of engaging your full-body muscles instead of concentrating too much impact on the lower part of the body, yet in the same process swimming can make you a better marathon runner as well.

As you can see, there are several ways that you can approach improving endurance, just make sure that you change things up often, so that you don’t stagnate.

Can you guess what is the largest organ of your body? Nope, not your liver, which is the biggest INTERNAL organ nevertheless, but not the largest of them all.

Give up? It’s your skin! Yes, that’s right. It’s an excretory organ on its own responsible for waste such as urea and sodium to leave your body through its sweat pores.

Just when you thought the skin was all about appearance…and that’s certainly true, but it goes much more skin deep than that.

Your skin is your body’s vital first line of defense. It protects you from all the tiny microscopic organisms in the air and toxin and other pollution within the environment.

Now on to the obvious of more or less why you want to take care of your skin: you want to appear and be attractive, increase your self-esteem and confidence, or get ahead professionally in life as people tend to favor better-looking people than those who are less polished in appearance.

Overall, you just want to have healthy beautiful skin because your skin is also an indicator of your health. They say real beauty comes from the inside out – well, the outside is the reflection of your inside. If your internal health is bad, that will show outwardly through your skin, and vice versa.

Now that you know how your skin is much more than about looking good and even why skin care is necessary, it’s time to actually start taking care of your skin!

Many people assume that all businesses are moving online. While that’s true in some regards, it doesn’t paint the entire picture. There are still a lot of brick and mortar stores that do not sell online for one reason or another.

If you have a business that relies heavily on foot traffic, you will need repeat business. Successful businesses utilize returning customers to sustain their profits since obtaining new customers is usually more difficult and costly, otherwise you’ll not see the revenues necessary to keep the doors open.

To help you get more repeat customers to your business, especially when the economy dips a little, here are some customer retention ideas you should incorporate into your offline business:

• Create a Loyalty Rewards Program

A surefire way to increase customers retention is to have a rewards program in place.

Have people sign up for this, give them a card, or have them use their phone number and give them points for every dollar spent. Once they reach a certain dollar amount, offer a significant discount or free stuffs. Some stores give 10% while others give a whopping 50% or more.

How you want to incentivize your loyal customers is completely up to you, but the main goal is to get more people to come back and spend.

• Set Up an Email Newsletter

Sales happen all the time, but many people don’t know it. When you want to bring in a lot of customers, work with an email newsletter service. All you have to do is collect emails from customers and tell them that they will receive valuable information in exchange.

One free service you can use until you hit a huge subscriber list is MailChimp. When you have a sale coming up, send out a newsletter with a “printable” coupon to bring in the store. This will help gain you a bit more foot traffic.

• Offer an In-store Second Chance Offer

Here’s another great way to ensure someone returns. When someone buys anything at full price in your store, give them a coupon with an expiration date that you set. That coupon should give them a significant discount on something the next time they come in.

The key here is that you make sure that there is a distinct expiration date on the coupon, so that the consumer is enticed to returning within a certain amount of time.

• Host Events for Customers

Announce events for customers by giving them a handout when they shop. When you have a special event and only invite those who have shopped with you before, they will come back, browse, and perhaps buy something else as well.

Special events can be coordinated with certain brands, sales, celebrities, musical acts, and among other things to bring something special to your business.

Remember, the goal is to give back to the consumer, as that will pay off dividends in time.

Here’s the kicker, offline business will never truly go away. Sure there are some advantages to going online, but customers will always feel more confident buying after seeing and feeling what’s in their hands than through a screen.

With all this being said, you should be utilizing both offline and offline marketing into your business because, why leave money money on the table opting for one approach over the other?

How to Attract Repeat Customers to Come into Your Offline Business is a post from: KnowIt Express

Does that sound like a lot? Under certain circumstances with scarcity of time and for people with fast-paced life, the answer is a definite “no.”

These days, there are even downloadable applications that have surfaced on the market claiming to increase a person’s reading speed from the average to about 800-1,000 words per minute, which to some folks may seem like a waste of time and improbable; however, there is some truth in what they are saying. It is possible to read faster, though admittedly not as fast as these programs and applications would claim.

The only things you need are, know how many words you can read per minute and…wait for it…practice, practice, practice.

Cliché as it may seem, reading is a skill, especially speed reading, and like any other skill you have acquired in your life, it can be improved by practice. Much like you would practice speaking to someone in a foreign language, lest you forget how to use it.

If you don’t already know your reading speed, you can figure it with Staples’ free reading test here.

The key to finishing any reading material is to finish it quick aka to read it really fast. That sounds confusing and obvious, but it does make sense. Aside from when you also have a deadline, the truth is if you hate reading so much, the one thing you are up against the most is time.

Certain situations may require you to take your readings skills one level higher—and that’s where speed reading comes in.  If you aren’t speed reading, you’re wasting time. Remember that you are trying to catch up with time as well as fight short-attention span.

So, how do we begin acquiring speed reading skill?

Here’s the process one undergoes in order to read fast.

First of all, ditch subvocalization while reading. Think of it like a voice in your head reading every single word. If you’re doing this, stop it because easier processing means less time the brain spends on actually understanding the words and more time to read more words.

Skimming is still reading. This is especially important if you’re reading any text (such as an exam) with time limitation that has questions to be answered. You can go ahead and skim and speed read the article to get a feel of the main idea it wants to relay. This way you can save on time from reading the unimportant information that are lodged in with the important ones.

• Reading comprehension, however, will be compromised because you’ll also be cutting down your time for it. But in situations wherein you’ll need to scan some documents, take timed exams or do a quickie review of notes before an exam, this is what you need to do!

In the same way that you would want to read the back cover of a book to determine whether or not to buy it, you can read a part or preview of an article to get an idea of the main focus it talks about. Through this, you will be able to set a state of mind when reading the article in its entirety.

Try doing these things that have been proven to help with speed reading on your next article, book, and other reading material, or to get through a long document for work or text for an exam.
