It’s amazing how much stuff is on the Genki English site. Today, totally by accident, I came across this page of 50 Tips to Get Motivated and Genki. It was written for when you can’t seem to get anything done and want a bit of an energy boost. I’d completely forgotten about it, but it’s a nice bit of fun. Here are the top 20:

• Jump up and down 20 times.
• Realise that “if you wait, all that happens is you get old”
• Eat an ice cream.
• Imagine if your salary suddenly doubled.
• Scrunch up your face for 15 seconds (but no longer as your eyes will go funny!)
• Aim to do two hours work in the next hour.
• Play a Genki English song really, really loud.
• Find out how many things in the room are coloured green.
• You know, the sun is always shining somewhere in the World.
• Think of another 50 tips to motivate yourself.
• Throw a paper airplane at your boss.
• Throw away three things from your desk.
