Nothing can turn the flame up like music can, so right off the bat let's start with your playlists.

Update your playlist to increase your productivity

Music helps you concentrate no matter what kind of music you like. A study, published in the journal Psychology of Music, found that workers who listened to the music of their choosing completed tasks more quickly and came up with better ideas than when they didn't turn on the tunes.

Stand like a superhero to boost your confidence

Try this the next time you're facing a nerve-racking situation: Stand with your hands firmly on your hips, chest pushed out and head held high. Harvard researchers found that people who held a "high-power pose" for as little as 2 minutes felt more self-assured and in control compared with people who folded their arms or slumped over.

Talk with a stranger to feel happier

This is my favorite thing to do. Everywhere I go, no matter how much of a rush I'm in, I will always take time to do this. I have met some amazing people and learned some life-changing things from doing this daily. Scientists have shown that these little exchanges-no matter how brief, can result in a positive experience and leave you with a lifted mood.

These were the ones that most resonated with me. To see more of what could make you the most fabulous person in the room, MSN Health will help you finish 'Project: You!'
