I read a great thing on The Pool last week and it’s prompted me to make a major digital change. The POWER PASSWORD – seriously, this will give you an instant happiness and productivity boost.
Struggling with a nightmare boss, a nightmare colleague and quite a serious step up in terms of responsibilities, this woman found going into work really difficult and the task seemed impossible.
And then she had a really smart idea. She changed her work computer login password to “I can do it”. So everyday, when she sat her desk, terrified, anxious and overwhelmed, she had to physically type the words reassuring her that she was capable.
Serena Williams also uses motivational phrases as her passwords too as she shared in a recent interview.
I started using affirmations as the passwords to my phone and my computer. (No, I’m not going to tell you what my current affirmation is!) You should try it. You’ll be surprised how many times a day you log in and have an opportunity to trigger the positivity. I love that I can use technology that way. – Wired
Think about it, a password is used to unlock something so by typing it out you’re giving yourself a daily reminder that you can do this and it will increase your happiness and productivity levels. Plus, it’s quick, so spend 10 minutes today changing all your passwords to something that will inspire and motivate you every day.
Wow! I love this idea, I’m definitely going to use it 🙂 xx

This is such a great and simple idea, I am going to give it a try x
I do this at times – it is SO powerful! I use some like mantras. Kaz x
This is such a good idea and I will use it in 2016! I have to change my passwords anyway, so thanks for posting this.
That’s an excellent idea. I’ll have to give it a go!
This is such a great idea, next time my passwords come up to be changed in work I am definitely doing this. I’ve needed such a motivating kick up the backside lately! x
Great idea, I like it. Must remember it for next passwords change session 🙂
