Career / 6 Things You Must Quit Doing Now If You Want To Be More Successful by GospelGTP(m): 8:13am On Feb 23, 2018
Persistence pays off, but so does knowing when to quit. These habits are holding you back.

Most of us grew up hearing the mantra "Don't be a quitter, " and we've internalized it to the point where we feel guilty if we don't finish a book that's boring us to death. Our parents weren't entirely wrong in saying that persistence is necessary for success, but sometimes quitting is the most effective course of action. Whether it's a failed project, a thankless job, or a doomed relationship, quitting can be a virtue.

"Quitting is leading too." --Nelson Mandela

As it turns out, some of us are really good at knowing when to quit, while others have a hard time getting "unstuck." Research from the University of Rochester found that people are motivated by either "approach goals" or "avoidance goals."
Those who fall into the approach camp are motivated by challenges and don't waste time trying to solve problems that simply don't have a feasible solution. In other words, they know when to quit.

People motivated by avoidance goals, however, worry a lot more about failing. They want to avoid failure at all costs, so they keep plugging away at things, long after logic suggests it's time to move on. This is typically a much less productive way to work.

Knowing when to quit is a skill that can be learned. If you tend to be stuck on things long after it's obvious that what you're doing isn't working, you can train yourself to do better. You just need to practice quitting. Thankfully, life provides plenty of opportunities to do this. Here are some things we should all quit doing.

1. Quit doubting yourself. Confidence plays a huge role in success. Hewlett-Packard conducted an interesting study of the process through which people applied for promotions at the company. Women, it turned out, only applied when they met 100 percent of the criteria for the job they wanted, while men applied when they met 60 percent of the criteria. The researchers postulated that one of the (many) reasons men dominated the upper echelons of the company is that they were willing to try for more positions than females were. Sometimes confidence is all it takes to reach that next level. The trick is, you have to believe you can. If you doubt yourself, it won't work. Faking confidence just doesn't produce the same results.

2. Quit putting things off. Change is hard. Self-improvement is hard. Scrounging up the guts to go for what you want is hard, and so is the work to make it happen. When things are hard, it's always easier to decide to tackle them tomorrow. The problem is that tomorrow never comes. Saying you'll do it tomorrow is just an excuse, and it means that either you don't really want to do it or you want the results without the hard work that comes along with it.

3. Quit thinking you have no choice. There's always a choice. Sure, sometimes it's a choice between two things that seem equally bad, but there's still a choice. Pretending that there isn't one makes you a victim who is voluntarily taking on a mantle of helplessness. To play the victim, you have to give up your power, and you can't put a price on that. To succeed at the highest level, you have to quit giving your power away.

4. Quit doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Albert Einstein said that insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Despite his popularity and cutting insight, there are a lot of people who seem determined that two plus two will eventually equal five. The fact is simple: If you keep the same approach, you'll keep getting the same results, no matter how much you hope for the opposite. If you want different results, you need to change your approach, even when it's painful to do so.

5. Quit thinking everything is going to work out on its own. It's tempting to think that it's all going to work out in the end, but the truth is that you have to make it work. This has many implications. Don't expect your boss to notice when you're ready for a promotion, don't expect your colleague to stop sloughing work off on you if you're always willing to do it, and don't think that anyone is going to stop walking all over you as long as you allow it. Everything is not going to magically work out on its own; you have to be proactive and take responsibility for yourself.

6. Quit saying yes. Every yes you utter is a tradeoff. By saying yes to one thing, you're saying no to something else. Saying yes to staying late at work, for example, might mean saying no to the gym or to time spent with your family. Research conducted at the University of California, San Francisco, showed that the more difficulty you have saying no, the more likely you are to experience stress, burnout, and even depression. Saying no is indeed a major challenge for many people. No is a powerful word that you should not be afraid to wield. When it's time to say no, avoid phrases such as I don't think I can or I'm not certain . Saying no to a new commitment honors your existing commitments and gives you the opportunity to successfully fulfill them. When you learn to say no, you free yourself from unnecessary constraints and free up your time and energy for the important things in life.

Bringing It All Together
There are dozens of ways we get in the way of achieving our full potential. We doubt ourselves, we decide that something is just too hard, or we tell ourselves that we'll worry about it tomorrow. If you really want to succeed--and I mean really succeed --stop focusing so much on what you should be doing and, instead, take a really good look at the things you should quit doing.

What other things should people quit doing? Please share your thoughts, as I learn just as much from you as you do from me.

Health / These 7 Habits Literally Add Years To Your Life, According To Science by GospelGTP(m): 10:51pm On Feb 18, 2018
We get only so much time on the planet. For as long as we've been here, people have tried to figure out how to stretch our time a bit longer . While we still don't have a fountain of youth , scientists in the United Kingdom now say they've figured out exactly how much longer your life will be--statistically speaking--if you adopt certain positive life habits.

Most of what they say to do won't shock you, but the idea of being able to say with some statistical certainty what the impact will be on your life is quite striking. Here's the research, the results, and the quantifiable insights.

The research.
British researchers combed through the health records of more than 600,000 people, correlating their life expectancies and ultimate longevity with their genetic information and health habits--and linked each of the subjects' records with those of their parents.

The subjects had been studied previously in more than 25 projects in Europe, Australia, and North America, and included the UK Biobank, which is a major British study on the impacts of genetics and lifestyle choices on health. The finings were published this month in an article entitled "Genome-wide meta-analysis associates HLA-DQA1/DRB1 and LPA and lifestyle factors with human longevity" in the journal Nature Communications .

"The power of big data and genetics allow us to compare the effect of different behaviors and diseases in terms of months and years of life lost or gained, and to distinguish between mere association and causal effect," said co-author Jim Wilson, a professor at the Usher Institute of Population Health Sciences and Informatics .

So, what are the habits and how much time does each add to (or remove from) your life? Here are seven of them--plus a bonus from an earlier study.

1. Never starting smoking.
The number one behavior that negatively impacts health that the project studied was smoking, which of course led to a much higher incidence of lung cancer among smokers versus nonsmokers.
The life expectancy difference was very specific. On average, "smoking a pack a day reduces lifespan by seven years," said Peter Joshi, another of the study's co-authors, who is a chancellor's fellow at the Usher Institute.

2. Reducing cholesterol.
Here, the scientists examined the presence of a gene that affects blood cholesterol level. People who had the gene, which leads to higher levels, had reduced life spans, by about eight months. While you can't help whether you have the gene or not, you can affect your cholesterol level with diet.

3. Losing weight.
Here, the researchers looked at overweight people who then managed to lose weight. The results are very specific. For every kilogram (about 2.2 pounds) lost, lifespan increased by two months. So, if you've been talking forever about losing those stubborn 20 pounds, you could add a year and a half to your life by doing so.

4. Quitting smoking.
If you currently smoke, you probably have enough people in your life telling you that you need to quit, but here's some extra motivation: Regardless of what other health issues might linger after you smoke that last cigarette, the researchers said there is a point at which a former smoker can have quit long enough to offset those "seven lost years" (from No. 1 above), and regain the longevity of someone who never smoked.

5. Being open-minded and open to new experiences.
This is probably the least quantifiable habit that the researchers studied, but exhibiting "a personality trait reflecting curiosity vs. caution," according to the study, added longevity to people's lives. (Whether the subjects of the study exhibited curiosity or caution was based on self-reported data from a questionnaire, according to the study authors.)

6. Gaining more education.
Here's one for lifelong learning: For each year spent studying past secondary school, people added 11 months to their lives. It's an open question whether longevity is impacted by the experience of higher learning itself or the fact that, statistically, people with more education are less likely to engage in unhealthy behaviors (chief among them: smoking cigarettes).

7. Reducing your blood pressure.
Besides smoking, the second-most impactful factor on longevity that the researchers found was systolic blood pressure: high blood pressure has "causal life-shortening effects" of 5.2 years on average. Controlling blood pressure is a matter of diet, exercise, and sometimes medication, so a variety of habits come into play here.

Bonus: Engaging in high levels of physical activity.
In a separate study, researchers at Brigham Young University examined the daily exercise of 5,823 adults.
They found that those who engaged in physical activity equivalent to at least 30-40 minutes of fast walking or jogging five days a week had cells that mimicked the average "telomere lengths" of average people nine years younger. (I wrote about this additional finding earlier this year, but it makes sense to include it here as well.)

To my mind, it's the cumulative effects of some or all of these habits taken together that is most striking--and perhaps enough to provide some extra motivation.
For example, a college-educated (four years of college translates to 44 months of extra statistical longevity), non-smoking (seven years) person who keeps his or her cholesterol (eight months) and blood pressure (five years) under control--and who loses 10 extra pounds (nine months)--could add 17 years to his or her life, which is somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 percent more time on the planet.
