??? Unlock the secret to success..

Do you ever feel like you’ll finally be happy once you’ve achieved success? What if happiness is actually the key to reaching your goals, not the other way around? How would your life change if you prioritized feeling good before chasing success?

?? According to Ali Abdaal’s Feel Good Productivity, happiness isn’t just the result of success—it’s the starting point.

When you prioritize feeling good, you unlock greater motivation, focus, and productivity, paving the way for success ????

This lesson hit home for me recently. Last week was rough. I was getting over a cold, missing my kids while they were at their Dad’s, and questioning some of my personal and professional goals. I felt unmotivated, and it was hard to focus on work ??

So, I made a conscious effort to prioritize activities that increase my positive emotions:

?? Taking frequent breaks to walk around the lake near my house

?? Practicing yoga to calm my mind and body

?? Playing my favorite music

These simple actions elevated my mood, gave me clarity, and made it easier to tackle my to-do list with energy and purpose.

The link between feeling good and productivity

As Ali Abdaal explains, when you feel good, you perform better. Positive emotions create a ripple effect that boosts your creativity, problem-solving abilities, and resilience.

Instead of waiting for external success to make you happy, you can intentionally cultivate joy and satisfaction to fuel your success.

Tips to put happiness first

???? Move your body: exercise releases endorphins that elevate your mood and increase productivity. I work out almost every morning to start my day on a positive note.

?? Do what brings you joy: make time for activities that genuinely light you up, whether it’s a favorite hobby, time with loved ones, or simply being in nature.

?? Take frequent breaks: step away from work to recharge. A short walk, a few stretches, or even a quick dance break can reset your mindset.

???? Practice gratitude: reflect on the things you’re grateful for, no matter how small. Gratitude helps shift your focus from what’s wrong to what’s right.

?? Set realistic goals: align your work with what truly matters to you. When your efforts feel meaningful, you’ll find it easier to stay motivated.

Why it matters
