How to Psych Yourself Up Before Your Next Big Thing
Do you know how to psych yourself up and enjoy yourself? The most successful people have professional warm-up routines. Find the best way to motivate yourself before doing your next big thing. I’m going to share the science of how to get yourself psyched up. I think EVERYONE should have a pre-performance warm-up routine that will gets you to the optimum level of excitement. Self-motivation is the force that keeps pushing you to go on. Before every show, TV host Stephen Colbert has a ritual. And it's a little superstitious. * He rings a little bell in his bathroom. * As he walks toward the stage, he waits for one of his writers to tell him, "Squeeze out some sunshine." * He does a two-handed shake with his production assistant. * He gets one Altoid. * He stands in place just offstage and slaps himself in the face twice. * He gets one particular style of Bic pen (assistants scour office supply stores looking for them), chews on the cap, and puts it back in the box. * Finally, he makes eye contact with his band leader before walking on stage. If it works for Colbert, might it work for you? Well...not the slapping yourself part, but definitely the psych-up routine!

How to say NO!
Do you have hard time saying no? It can be very hard to say no because you don't want to upset people. We don't want people to feel bad, or make people think we're rude. With us being social creatures, we are driven to preserve our relationships and so it can be difficult to let people down even if it is the right thing for you. In our weekly Twitter poll, we asked people whether this statement was true or false for them: “I have a hard time saying no.” As someone who struggles with saying no myself, I decided to go in the research lab and learn how to say no without being awkward or damaging relationships. In this video I want to share several hacks that will save your relationships.
