But what if tackling your whole emotional well-being feels like too daunting of a task? What if you just want to feel a little bit more motivated, more energized and all-around happier, right now? Good news: There are ways you can start improving your happiness by simply making a few adjustments to your environment and the way you interact with it. Think of the following as your happiness starter pack: 1. The cleanliness of your living space can have a huge impact on the cleanliness of your mind. As someone who has spent 18 years defending her messy room in the interest of “creativity,” I feel like I’m allowed to say this.

That is a lot of time to perfect our influencing skills, but somehow all but the most accomplished still struggle at influencing the masses with their speech. There are, of course, a fair few notable examples. Socrates, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King and Winston Churchill to name but a few. They captivated their audiences with their every word. It didn’t matter how many people they were speaking to; their speeches were such that you felt that they were addressed to every single individual.

Their effortless style was underpinned by a finely-tuned (and barely perceptible) technique that allowed them to put their audience under their spell. Their every movement acted in tandem with their words and every appearance was a multi-dimensional feast for the senses of the audience. In my view, there are four aspects of every charismatic speaker. Eccentric Habits of 8 Geniuses That Make You Smarter. There’s a fascinating link between geniuses and eccentric behavior.

I had an appointment today (at 11am if the management are interested) and in almost every regard it was a DREADFUL EXPERIENCE. They could not find my booking to begin with. Once the lady looked at the correct day, however, the booking was duly located. A bit of a tricky beginning, but recoverable at this point... I had booked a floatation tank treatment and oxygen spa.

Lately for me there’s been a rather clear distinction between the two, where in the past it may have been a bit blurry.
