- 2. If you can raise somebody's level of positivity in the present, then their brain experiences what we now call a happiness advantage, which is your brain at positive performs significantly better than at negative, neutral or stressed. Your intelligence rises, your creativity rises, your energy levels rise. In fact, it was found that every single business outcome improves. Your brain at positive is 31% more productive than your brain at negative, neutral or stressed. You're 37% better at sales. Doctors are 19% faster, more accurate at coming up with the correct diagnosis.
- 3. Which means we can reverse the formula. If we can find a way of becoming positive in the present, then our brains work even more successfully as we're able to work harder, faster and more intelligently. We need to be able to reverse this formula so we can start to see what our brains are actually capable of. Because dopamine, which floods into your system when you're positive, has two functions. Not only does it make you happier, it turns on all of the learning centers in your brain allowing you to adapt to the world in a different way.
- 4. It was found there are ways that you can train your brain to be able to become more positive. In just a two-minute span of time done for 21 days in a row, you can actually rewire your brain, allowing your brain to actually work more optimistically and more successfully.
- 5. Step 1 3 New Things You’re Grateful For Write down three new things that they're grateful for for 21 days in a row, three new things each day. And at the end of that, your brain starts to retain a pattern of scanning the world not for the negative, but for the positive first.
- 6. Step 2 Journaling Journaling about one positive experience you've had over the past 24 hours allows your brain to relive it.
- 7. Step 3 Exercise Exercise teaches your brain that your behavior matters.
- 8. Step 4 Meditation It was found that meditation allows your brain to get over the cultural ADHD that we've been creating by trying to do multiple tasks at once and allows our brains to focus on the task at hand.
- 9. Step 5 Random Acts of Kindness Random acts of kindness are conscious acts of kindness. We get people, when they open up their inbox, to write one positive email praising or thanking somebody in their support network.
- 10. By doing these activities and by training your brain just like we train our bodies, what was found is we can reverse the formula for happiness and success, and in doing so, not only create ripples of positivity, but a real revolution.
