Five Things You Need To Know Today (the Hy-Five)

It’s tipsy Tuesday, Hyattsville! Here are five random life tips for your enrichment:

1. Smile often. Turning your frown upside down releases serotonin in your brain and gives you that happy feeling.

2. Make a personal commercial. Writing down a 30-60 second mission statement for your life can help you boost your confidence. Try recording it and making a short video. Then watch it to remember your goals and motivate yourself.

3. Too much junk email? Try setting up an auto-response to let people know you’ll only be checking your account twice a day.

4. Checking off an item on your daily To Do list can help you feel more energetic about completing the rest of it. Try sticky notes or even a small chalkboard to keep yourself organized.

5. Procrastinate? Check out FlexTime, a program that can help keep you on task.
