One simple trick to boost your mood

4548409_LThere’s one thing you can do more every day to improve your overall well-being. And an added bonus, it’s easy and enjoyable! Listen to more music.

Listening to more music is a great way to boost your mood, release stress, and even sleep better. Studies have shown that listening to music before bed can help you have a better night’s rest. Of course, you’ll want to choose relaxing music, typically tunes that fall into folk, classical, or jazz genres. Something that is between 60 to 80 beats per minute (bpm). So if you struggle to get a restful sleep, you may want to add music to your nightly routine.

Evening isn’t the only time you can enjoy the benefits of music. When you’ve had a hard day and you’re feeling stressed, turn on some music that boosts your mood or lets you wind down. You have to find which tunes really help you get out of your funk and feel better. Maybe it’s a relaxing channel with a warm bath that soothes you or maybe it’s some dance music that you can really get moving and singing to. You have to figure out what makes you feel the best.

Music can give you a reprieve from the daily grind. It can also help you forget about the worries you’re facing. You can just let it go and zone into the tunes.

Music’s effect on the brain is seen in so many ways. People use it to help them focus, to relax, and to get motivated. It can benefit you no matter what mood you’re in. You just have to find the right tunes for the given scenario.

We often forget this simple, easy tool that’s available to us. Next time you need more energy, to unwind, or to get some rest, try turning on some music.

Robert Downey Jr’s amazing comeback story from addiction

81095233_MThere’s nothing quite like a great comeback story. One that proves to us that people really can come back from anything, even a longtime struggle with addiction. Robert Downey Jr., otherwise known as RDJ to his loving fans, is a poster child for comeback stories.

When he was just 6 years old, his dad introduced him to marijuana. His dad struggled with addiction and for some time, this addiction became a bond for RDJ and his father. Robert Downey Jr. would go on to try other drugs and become an alcoholic.

In the 1980′s, he was building a name for himself. He acted on SNL, had roles in movies such as Weird Science and The Pickup Artist. His fame continued to rise when he starred in Chaplin and gave an amazing performance. However, in his personal life, things were rocky. He ended up getting arrested after cops pulled him over for speeding and found heroin and cocaine. This was the start of his arrests, time in rehabs, and jail time.

In 2001, he almost got another break when he was cast to play a role on Ally McBeal. However, after just 2 seasons, he was fired. He faced an arrest and had to go to a rehab session. In 2003, he recovered. His second wife pressured him to get better and with the help of yoga, meditation, therapy, and 12-step programs, he’s stayed sober.

He’s now one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood. He got his first role since recovery in The Singing Detective. Since then, he’s become hugely famous for his role as Tony Stark/Iron Man in the Marvel Universe Franchise. He’s had several roles since 2003, including staring in Sherlock Holmes. You can see him in Sherlock Holmes 3 in 2020 and the new Avengers movie next year.

Robert Downey Jr. is an example that with motivation, the right resources and support, you can move past addiction. Even though RDJ was exposed to it at a young age, he is now living proof that there is life after drinking and drugs — a life that can be full of happiness and success.

One time management tip that can help you plan for the week ahead

76179458 - businesswoman with alarm clock in officeAre you struggling to keep up with your daily routine? Do you often feel like there should be more than 24 hours in a day? If you’re nodding yes, then it probably means you should reevaluate your time.

Every day we’re given 24 hours to accomplish everything we need and want to in a day. We need to allocate that time effectively to get the most out of our day. Start by determining how much time you have each day to actually put in the work. For example, if you allocate 8 hours to sleep time, at least 2 hours to have three meals a day, 1 hour to get ready in the morning, and 3 hours for family time, this leaves you with 10 hours. However, you may need to subtract time for commuting if you work in an office outside the home.

Once you know how much time you have to work with that day, you can prioritize what needs to be done and what can wait. Although, you may have some repeating needs, such as sleep time, there are some things that may be able to be adjusted depending on your calendar. Map out each week prior to it starting. You could make this a ritual every Friday. Sit down at the end of the day, when you’ve completed your to-do list and map out next week. Make a to-do list from Monday-Friday for the following week. This will help you get a good picture of what time you have to work with each day. Plus, it allows you to look at the week as a whole and move things to the day that it best fits. Some things may not be able to be moved, such as appointments, but other things may be able to be adjusted like paperwork. You may even need to create this to-do list further out, if a week doesn’t give you enough time to strategize.

Prioritize your list based on what items have to be done that day and the items that can wait, if needed. Just be sure not to overbook your day. By getting a good look at your week in advance it allows you to have a better plan in place. It will also help you stay on track and keep you from becoming too overwhelmed. Start off the week right with a plan of action.
