There are those who feel they cannot accomplish anything without music to give them that little push. Others use music to calm the stress or to create a mental field akin to meditation.

Still others use it by following the tempo and rev up to physical displays of achievement. Some use the words to fire them up for an activity where they must show leadership. The intentional use of music helps the brain to deliver a set outcome.

Above music, there is also routine. If you get up the same time every day, sleep at the same time at night, eat your meals around the same time, follow the same health regimes and more, you direct the brain to have certain expectations. By doing this, you create your own story.

Beyond that, you are awake and performing before you have a chance to self sabotage and this means you are functioning and able to continue. Later in life, this routine will help you structure support for your health and your mental flexibility.

When you enable habits like running or going for a walk as a means of implementing change, especially if you have been doing sedimentary tasks like reading or watching TV, this allows body rhythms to support a different state of mind.

If you have a dog, that means you have a daily expectation of a few walks and getting outside as well as paying attention to the needs of a living being. This draws you out of yourself and makes you happier because you feel associated with making that creature healthy and alive.

Even a bird or cat can help in that regard since they rely on you and this reliance makes you aware that you have a purpose. Friends also take you out of your comfort zone and support you emotionally when needed. So having good people in your life makes you want to be better and deliver the same for them.

Reading is something that expands the mind and because of that can send you in different directions in your life. It can create a new hobby or interest and even lead to a stimulating new career. Any kind of learning can also enhance existing beliefs and give you a much richer life.
