Rise and shine, sleepyhead. Success is just around the corner, but first you have to drag yourself out of bed and greet the day. Everyone needs a little time to themselves. Sometimes that time is at the end of the day, but having some "me" time before the day starts has proven to be a key to success for many.
Numerous studies show that early risers are more apt to attain measures of some success. From entrepreneurs to politicians to athletes, many see the early part of the day as a key time to prepare for what lies ahead.
While others remain in dreamland, many successful people already are planning their day. Early morning hours are not filled with as many distractions and give many successful people the time to compile to-do lists that actually might get accomplished.
Getting up before the crack of dawn also allows successful people the opportunity to get in some exercise without being interrupted by an important phone call or having to make a crucial financial decision.
You are also more likely able to set a positive vibe for the rest of the day. Stay in bed, oversleep and then you are rushed to start your day and you feel like you always are trying to catch up. This lifestyle mode and lack of time management adds stress to relationships and simply is not healthy. Successful people have mastered the idea of managing their time. The earlier you arise, the more time you have in the day to build relationships and make important, well-thought out decisions.
Those who work toward success are not only refreshed in the morning, they seem to be more optimistic. These people usually have a routing that prepares them mentally and physically for the upcoming day. They are ready to get down to business in the morning thanks a renewed sense of energy that leaves them feeling ready to tackle the world. Their sense of willpower and self-discipline is never higher than in the morning.
Recent studies suggest what successful people have known for a long time. People exhibit one of mankind's most difficult attributes -- self-discipline -- earlier in the day. Willpower, the study concluded, is similar to a muscle and can become overworked with fatigue throughout the day. By the time you arrive home, the lack of willpower can leave you feeling zapped. Successful people might use the early morning as the time to formulate difficult decisions and with the help of self-discipline stick by their decisions.
Successful people, according to studies, have more time in the morning to eat a healthy breakfast that helps them start the day off feeling refreshed, which results in clear and concise decision-making and a renewed sense of being able to deal with distractions.

Relationship Scenario: My Married Boyfriend Had His Step-daughter Kidnapped. What Should I Do?
Dear Valinda:
I was dating a man for two years when he suddenly married a widower whose husband was killed accidentally during a military war game exercise. She had a little girl named Nolan. For now I will call him Jeff.
Jeff assured me that he didn't love this woman, but he had to marry her because his high-profile boss at work and the Senator from our district was pressuring him to do so.. I never fully understood what was so important about this woman or why Jeff was pushed into marring her. All I knew was that shortly after they got married, Jeff adopted the little girl.
I was with him for two years before this happened. As far as I know, they only dated three or four times before getting engaged. When Jeff told me that he still loved me and needed me, I believed him. I stuck with him, mostly because I was in shock over what transpired in such a short time.
Before this woman came into the picture, Jeff took me everywhere and I was the love of his life. There was no way I wasn't about to just walk away.
The same week Jeff and this woman was married, he gave up his job at the law firm and started working for the Senator directly, as a legal advisor. Jeff is a brilliant attorney.
After the marriage Jeff still visited me often, during working hours and in the evening. I made few demands on him. I was still trying to get the courage to end the relationship.
One evening when he was over, I walked in on him talking softly on the telephone. He was giving someone the address to his young daughter's private school. I recognized the address because the up-scale school was a couple blocks from my mother's estate. I didn't think anything of it.
About a month later, the little girl was kidnapped from school. It was all over the news.
During that time, Jeff changed, he was more serious and angry most of the time. I decided to keep my mouth shut, but that didn't stop my mind from wondering. We went from hot to barely warm in the bedroom. I realized something was terribly wrong in his life. I realized more than ever that he needed me, so I said nothing. He kept paying all my bills, and buying me nice gifts, just like he did before he married.
After a while I grew comfortable with the situation. And soon he was around less and less. He placed a large sum of money in my checking account and after that I barely saw him. I guess it's what I expected, and I'm thankful that he walked me to the door of our relationship, slowly.
The problem is, I think about that little girl almost every day. I know Jeff and the Senator's office had something to do with her disappearance.
What should I do?

Barbie: Friend or Foe? Social Media Lends to the Topic
As a child, I was a huge fan of the Barbie doll. I probably had sixteen of them at one point (that was a lot back then) and they each had seen their share of love. A lot of them got haircuts from me in an attempt to "feather" their hair (it was the 70's, after all) which resulted in incredible failure and most of them had lipstick marks on them in an attempt to change their makeup. As I grew up, I stopped playing with those dolls but grew my hair long, sprayed peroxide on it to make it blonde and subconsciously thought Barbie's looks were ideal.
Now I'm a parent to two girls of my own. They've both been into Barbie dolls, particularly my youngest. Remember that number 16 that I had? She probably has 60. And they're more than just a doll. They're veterinarians and teachers and Mermaids and fashionistas and heck…even archers. Barbie has been made to have a brain to go along with her beauty.
This debate on how Barbie impacts young girls today is one that is usually around in some shape or form. There are those strongly against Barbie…her proportions are completely inhuman (yes..they are) and she helps create a poor body image with young girls today because they want to look like her. On the other hand, Barbie does everything. She's not a blond bimbo sitting in the corner waiting for Ken…she's driving the sports car herself, and going to college and being an activist as well as a style icon. In fact, it seems as if there is nothing that Barbie HASN'T done.
Through social media and real-time commentary, this debate has come to the forefront recently. It seems everyone has an opinion on how Barbie influences young girls today. Are young girls starving themselves because they want to be as thin as Barbie? Personally, I don't think Barbie has anything to do with it as most girls are kind of out of that phase by age 9. My oldest daughter is 13. She's growing like a weed and starting to notice the opposite sex. As a result, she's curling her hair, and exercising and putting on makeup. Have I ever heard her say that "Barbie made me do it?" No. Have I noticed she's emulating actresses on shows she watches on TV? Yes. My youngest, on the other hand, still loves putting on fancy dresses when she plays with her Barbie. She does her hair up to play with Barbies. Will this change? Most likely, but will move onto a phase much like her older sister.
The point is, the debate marches on. Social media brings topics like these front and center and as a result, debate is created. Just remember… nobody is perfect…not even Barbie. We all just do the very best we can.

Millionaire Mindset - Mental Tips for Success
The world, as we know it, has rapidly become very complex. Technology is advancing faster than we can keep up with, times are hard financially, the kids need more and more things, and your job mentally drains you. Many of us struggle to maintain our sanity at times when we're mentally fatigued, frustrated, and stressed to the max. Here is some good advice, and good mental tricks from some of the world's most influential people, that will make your life a bit more manageable and fulfilling. The following list of mental tricks you should incorporate in your daily routine is compiled by University of Michigan's Health Services Department:
Value yourself
Treat yourself with respect. Take some time to get back to those hobbies you enjoy so much. In this stage, it is important to find the time to do something that makes you feel good.
Take care of your body
Taking care of yourself physically can improve your mental health. Simple things like eating nutritious meals, drinking plenty of water, exercising at least 30 minutes everyday, not smoking or drinking excessively, and getting a good nights sleep will all help keep your body functioning well so your mind is clearer.
Surround yourself with good people
People with strong supporting casts and social connections, are more likely to be healthier than someone without a support system.
Give Back
The feeling you feel when you give back, volunteer, and help someone who could benefit from you is a remarkable feeling. You will feel amazing when you experience helping someone.
Relax your mind
Try meditating or reaching out spiritually through prayer. Relaxation exercises and prayer can improve your state of mind and outlook on life. In fact, research shows that meditation may help you feel calm and enhance the effects of therapy.
Set realistic goals
Decide what you want to achieve academically, professionally and personally, and write down the steps you need to realize your goals. Aim high, but be realistic and don't over-schedule. You'll enjoy a tremendous sense of accomplishment and self-worth as you progress toward your goal.
Switch it Up
Everyone has their own routine, but switching it up every now and then could bring more joy and excitement than you realize. After you take that morning run, go for drive and see the countryside, or, go out for breakfast instead staying at home.
Avoid alcohol and other drugs
Do not drink in excess or use drugs. Although this may come as common sense, we don't realize the actual poisonous effect it has on our body.
Get help when you need it
Seeking help is a sign of strength -- not a weakness.
What Not to Do
You just read about some really good mental tricks to stay happy and productive. Many people want to know what they need to do remain in this state. But what not to do could be more beneficial to us all. This list of things to avoid in order to be mentally strong is compiled by Psychotherapist and licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Forbes Contributor, Amy Morin.
Waste Time Feeling Sorry for Themselves
No one else is going to feel sorry for you, so don't waste the time throwing yourself a "pity party".
Give Away Their Power
Understand that you are in control of your destiny and emotions. Don't give others the power to bring you down.
Shy Away from Change
Mentally strong people embrace change and they welcome challenge. Their biggest "fear," if they have one, is not of the unknown, but of becoming complacent and stagnant. An environment of change and even uncertainty can energize a mentally strong person and bring out their best.
Waste Energy on Things They Can't Control.
Recognize what you can and can't control. Control what you, what you can't, don't waste energy on.
Worry About Pleasing Others
Strive to be kind and fair, but be your person. Understand that people won't always agree with you, or may even, get angry with you. Don't be a people pleaser, feel comfortable with who you are, and don't sacrifice your happiness for someone else's.
Fear Taking Calculated Risks
With mental strength, a person can observe the risks and benefits closely, and will fully assess the potential downsides and even the worst-case scenarios before they take action.
Dwell on the Past
Mentally strong people don't get caught up in past times and glory days. They create opportunities for the present and future.
Make the Same Mistakes Over and Over
It's ok to make a mistake, but we should learn and grow from those mistakes, and not keep making the same mistake. If you keep making the same mistake, you're not learning, therefore, not advancing in life.
Resent Other People's Success
We've heard the term, "hater" before. We don't want to be "haters" when it comes to another person's success, meaning we don't need to hate them because they're doing better than us in life. We should learn from success and find out how that person became so successful.
Give Up After Failure
Don't give up when you fail. Try, try, and try again. Don't be afraid to fail. If you never try, you'll never know. If you never know, you'll never do better.
Fear Alone Time
Mentally strong people enjoy and even treasure the time they spend alone. They use their downtime to reflect, to plan, and to be productive.
Feel the World Owes Them Anything
Mentally strong people do not feel that they are owed something because they have an impressive education and are likeable. Be willing to work, and stay humble and respectful.
Expect Immediate Results
Don't be impatient. It takes time to build something worthwhile, so you must be in it for the long run. If you always expect it to happen quickly, you'll be very frustrated.
All of this advice, as well as these useful mental tricks, compiled from two of the most trustworthy, impactful, and influential people and health departments will rejuvenate you. Although it will challenge your mental capacity, don't let life weigh you down. Adopt these coping skills, and be on your way to mental freedom.

4 Ways To Increase Your Self Esteem
Most people need a little self-esteem boost now and then.
Self-esteem is all about how we feel about ourselves. When our self esteem is low, we can feel anxious and depressed, we can find ourselves in abusive relationships, and be prevented from reaching our true potential.
There can also be cons to self esteem. For instance, when a person's sense of self worth is overbloated, it can turn into arrogance or what is termed 'narcissism', and this can create problems. Such people can have difficulty accepting and learning from their own mistakes and can develop a false sense of entitlement.
Developing a balanced level of self-esteem is key. For some, a healthy, high self-esteem develops naturally. But for others, developing a healthy self-esteem takes some work. Check out these pointers to give your self-esteem a kick start.
1. Draw up a list of your best qualities - For some people with diminished self-esteem, even contemplating making a list of their good points seems like an impossible task, but it can be really helpful for raising self-esteem. If you find this task challenging, think about what others say about you. What positive compliments have you received? Begin with those and then work from there. Jot your good qualities down using "I" and the present tense. For example, "I am a kind and generous person."
2. Regular affirmations - Take another peek at the list you made. Choose your favorite qualities to use to do daily affirmations. Take those statements and write them down on cue cards and stickie notes. Put the stickie notes where you will read them everyday, such as on your computer screen, mirror, or refrigerator. When you see them, take a couple of minutes to repeat them several times to yourself. Put notecards in your purse or wallet where you are sure to come across them on a regular basis. When this happens, take a moment to read them to yourself a few times. In just a little while you can switch some of your best qualities for some of the other qualities on your list.
3. Keep some perspective - People generally don't talk about their challenges, disapointments, and struggles in life, but that's not because they don't have them. How we decide to approach these things will directly influence levels of self-esteem, joy and success. The really successful and confident people in life aren't those who have faced few dificulties and challenges, they are those who have viewed them as simply a part of life and have powered through anyway, learning as they go. Your failures don't mean that you are a failure, they just mean you need to reassess the situation and the way you approach it and tackle it from a different angle.
4. Make yourself the priority - A large part of increaseing your self esteem is accepting you are deserving of your own love. Respect yourself enough to make time for yourself. Take care of yourself when you're having a difficult time. Say 'no' when you need to and don't feel bad about it. Make your needs clear to others and ask for what you need. (If you find it difficult to say 'no', then look for some assertiveness training, or get a book on the subject.)
Employ these 4 simple tips and you will be well on your way to boosting your self-esteem. Above all, remember to be kind to yourself and give yourself as much love as you give to the important people in your life. You certainly deserve it!
