It is common in self-help literature to hear that being more confident, believing in yourself, and regularly thinking positive thoughts can all help you to feel happier and luckier and, to even influence your life in a positive way.
But here’s another factor you might not have considered: brainpower. Did you know that mental focus, creativity, sharpness, and more can help to make you happier and even luckier?
Those who are more positive and happy tend to notice opportunities more because they are less stressed. But by the same token, you could notice even more opportunities by being more alert and switched on.
Likewise, effective use of Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) requires mental discipline which in turn needs energy and focus. The last section on health will deal with this to an extent but on top of this, you also need to ensure your brain is just loaded with energy and that it's functioning better. If you're groggy and easily distracted you won't be able to exert the necessary discipline to change those negative thoughts.
So, how do you boost your brain power - and even be happier and luckier?
