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.
