How to be Self-Helped-ed

Dollars
     One of the greatest feelings in life is that moment when you casually put your hands into your pockets and to your surprise there is money in there, even better when that money is a paper bill. Most people would jump for joy and then instantly find a space for it in their wallet, but I don't do this and neither should you. Instead what I do is take that dollar and put it right back into my pocket. Why? Because I put my hands in my pockets several times a day, which means several times a day I will also get the powerful feeling of finding a dollar in my pocket. I once did this with the same dollar for over 2 weeks and it made me happy every time I found it.

Knuckle Head
     As humans we all feel the need to vent when we are angry. But humans also have the ability to know that talking behind someones back doesn't always feel like the right thing to do. So if you find yourself venting and want to wean yourself off of it, try referring to the person only as a knucklehead. I've tried this and I ended up taking the conversation way less seriously making me way less mad at that person.

Bananas
     I have this saying: Never mix up hate and a bad experience. Let me explain, I used to hate bananas until I realized that I had only had one banana in my life. And if the odds of getting a lousy banana are 1 in anything then I can never be sure that I hate bananas. So any time I hate something, I always make a point to try it every few years just to make sure nothing has changed. Also I like bananas now.

Car Doodles
     Some people are great artists and some people can barely draw a stick figure. I'm not going to pretend I'm either of those. I'm right in the middle where if I spend a good amount of time on something I can draw something just below respectable. However, I found out by accident that all I need to do is draw in a moving car, because it hinders you, but not as much as people think it does. Then when you show people your drawings they'll think it's okay until you tell them you drew it in the car. After that your doodles will be works of art.
