Read MoreHealth Benefits of Getting Enough Sleep- Minutes with Jay
There are many health benefits of getting enough sleep. I hinted on how sleep can help you as well as tips on increasing happiness in my last post, you can check it here.
At different levels of sleep you will get different benefits. In the first level not much really happen besides eye twitching.
In the second level, your blood pressure drops and your heart rests which helps the cardiovascular system.
Later on you get the benefits of growth hormones being released and muscles being rebuilt. That means that if you are trying to get bigger biceps, traps, chesticles (aka chest muscles)…you gotta sleep. Also, for my ladies that are trying to lose weight or get cut, this is important for you too!
While we are on the subject of weight, sleep regulates your appetite. Ever stayed up too late and wanted to eat the house down or didn’t feel hungry at your normal time skipping breakfast maybe even lunch? This is due to a hiccup in your sleeping pattern.
Just something to think about!
Read MoreIncreasing Your Happiness- 2 Easy Ways- Minutes with Jay
Increasing your happiness does not have to be hard. There are easy ways to gain more energy and just be overall happier.
One way is through real meditation. I get into the definition on this in my video. I am not talking about sitting in a room humming for hours on end or chanting weird tribal bird sounds with a group of strangers.

Read MoreThinking your way better life- Better Pay
Thinking your way to a better life and better pay is possible.
I assume that if you are reading this that you are a human being (I hope so) and this gives you an advantage.
The advantage is to rationalize and create new ideas. Animals have to rely on instinct to survive and will never be anything more than what they currently are.
You on the other hand can develop and change your situation. Use the free resources that are at your fingertips to get moving.
Go to the library if nothing else for Pete’s sake and pick up a few books on whatever area you are trying to improve.
Just last night, I popped into the library and snagged a copy of The Intelligent Investor by Ben Graham.
Why?
Because I want to learn more on investment strategy and this book comes recommended by Warren Buffett. Buffett is possibly the greatest investor of all time!
It was a no brainer. Getting the knowledge is free.
There are no excuses to have less than what you want.
What resources can you make use of right away?

How to get/use inspiration? Look no further than the geniuses that came before.
Follow the breadcrumbs of others and improve their design. Make it your own.

If it wasn’t for the flip phone there wouldn’t be the IPhone. Without the brick phone we would have never seen the flip phone. Each generation building, inspired by the last invention.
Where are the breadcrumbs leading you? Also, for a related post on how we need each other to be successful click here.
