  6. Change Your Performance To Change Your Mind  - Henry Ford said, "If you think   you can or if   you think you can't, you're right." When facing a difficult challenge,  focus on why you will succeed rather  than why you may fail. People with a "fixed mindset" will always be less successful than  those with  a "growth mindset."

  7. Commit Conscious Acts Of Kindness - Be gracious in traffic or in line and let   people in. Then see how you feel. 

  8. View failure As Opportunity  - Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times before he got the light bulb right.

  9. Overcome Inertia -  Use the 20 second rule to break bad habits. For instance,  if you think you watch too much TV, take the batteries out of your remote. The next time you click on the TV, you can  read a book or start an important project.

10. Make A Social Investment -  A lack of meaningful social contact can add 30 points to your  blood pressure. Studies show that a bond between a manager and employees is the prime  predictor of both daily productivity and  the length of time people stay at their jobs.
