Start your days with 5 new positive habits
1.Buy something only when you need it. Have you ever buy something but you never use it? Nearly everyone buys products they never actually use.
Sometimes when we have more money, we buy stuff without plan. May be this stuff is not expensive but this is one of our bad habit. Don’t buy something just because they are on sale, you may never use them.
So before go shopping, make a list the items you need in the order and don’t buy stuff unlisted.
Save your money!
2. Listening music from other countries. Countries from Asia and Africa have a unique kind of music. If you heard instrumental music from west java island, you will hear a sound of music that can make you relax.
African music have a different way of showing their enjoyment and appreciation of music than American music. They represents the dynamic nature of those societies.
Did you hear a music from Papua New Guinea?
3. Make a writing contest with your friend. The winner is the one whose article published in the local newspaper/magazine. You can submit your articles on your blog too.
To get your article published, you need to know the ropes. Here are some tips, gleaned from many years of experience:article-writing-tips
Show your writing talent.
4. Don’t say a bad words in a day. Substitute your bad words with another language.Example You’re stupid! = Baka-yarö!(in Japanese).
I don’t care what you are saying= tau ah gelap (in Bahasa)
idiot = debil (in Albanian).
Bit** = sharmuta(Arabic).
Sometimes the sound of the pronunciations can make us laugh.
5. Surprise a beggar with $10 and your smile. When I give him the money, it is the most satisfying feeling doing something good to others.By doing that, you plant a positive attitude and you no need to become a rich guy to help others. You receive the greatest benefit from giving, if it is done from the heart.

Ooh. I love the fourth. Have you tried fashla (hebrew for f***up) and shieze (german for sh*t). ;P
Yeah, foul language is a definite no-no. This is quite an interesting take on the power of positive thinking, though. Bravo!

I’ve tried it all, but when you work in hell, it’s tough being positive. I don’t believe in giving beggars money though, but I will try swearing in other languages. LOL.

I completely agree with #1. In fact if it’s something that I don’t need, I ask myself if I really Love it. If I don’t, I don’t buy it, but when I do, it’s worth it.
Good luck in the Problogger drawing on Friday!

Thought I’d drop by and say thanks for the comment on my entry and also to check what you entered as well. Not being the most positive dude around your entry certainly gave me things to think about.
