The Rocco Effect - End your day happy

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel – Maya Angelou


A happy ending can make you forget about all the rubbish before hand. If you leave happy, you'll soon forget the bad. I learned about this trick whilst working for a supermarket. If a customer leaves happy, they'll want to return, if not ,they will likely find somewhere else to shop. I took this lesson into my next job, teaching, and made sure every class ended with happy kids. They all left smiling and wanting to return to the next class. Wanting to return also made them want to learn and study harder at home. The customers could have had a bad time in store, the kids could have been crying during class, but that was all forgotten when the customers concerns where dealt with and the kids got to play a game. I then expanded this practice into my day to day life. If I meet someone I do my best to make sure they leave happy and I do my best to make sure I end my days happy. I want people to hang out with me again and I want to welcome the new day like my customers and students welcomed their returns to the store and the classroom. A happier life is as simple as making sure you always end things on a happy note.

The Rocco Effect - Fuck Off!

Do not allow negative thoughts to enter your mind for they are the weeds that strangle confidence. - Bruce Lee How often do you have negative thoughts? I'm guessing more often than you'd like. We wouldn't let others talk to us that way, so why do we allow ourselves? Next time you notice one of these thought reply with 'Fuck off!' and replace it with the opposite though Eg. I'm stupid - Fuck off! - I'm a genius. Both are untrue, but one leads to you feeling rubbish and one leads to you feeling good. Why would you choose to feel rubbish when it's just as easy to feel great?  Comic Task   1. Notice your thoughts   2. Tell bad thoughts to 'Fuck off!'   3. Replace thought with the opposite   4. Start feeling great again   Journal questions   1. What thoughts have you told to 'Fuck off!'?  2. What have you replaced them with?  3. How do these new thoughts make you feel?
