If you embrace these 16 daily habits, your life will definitely improve

Are you frustrated in landfills? Is life not going as planned?

Life is full of twists and turns, and that’s what makes it so interesting. But your daily actions will affect whether things get better or worse.

If you don’t want to wait until “new year, new me”, here are some daily habits you can adopt right now to start improving your life (and none of them involve a gym membership!).

1) Make your bed

Most morning routines discuss eating superfoods for breakfast and getting up at 4am

But I don’t like getting up at 4 in the morning or worrying about breakfast. Instead, this is the most powerful morning ritual I’ve ever adopted.

Based on the letter of the United States Admiral William McRaven“If you make your bed every morning, you will have completed the first task of the day,” he says.

And that’s strong. Even if you had the worst day, you will get back to the job you did and do it well. It is an unparalleled confidence booster and I practice it every single day.

2) Adopting the 80/20 principle

The 80/20 rule, or Pareto principleSince 20% of the tasks lead to 80% of the results. In other words, this is a productivity hack.

Spend more time on the tasks that have the highest impact. For example, take a sales call instead of spending the morning answering emails.

Instead of wasting 30 minutes trying to align the stars, get started. Or in other words, eat that frog!

3) Read, read, read more

No, reading alone does not make you smarter. Yes, there are many ways to learn. But reading has bonuses that make it very powerful.

First, it is an opportunity to disconnect from the digital world. Second, you will develop new ideas and get motivated. But the third and most important benefit of all is that, according to Professional Excellence AcademyReading has a calming effect similar to meditation.

So, whether you prefer a thriller or a biography, take the time to pick out a good book. Speaking of which, here’s another thing you can do.

4) meditation

Meditation is not about vibrations, nirvana or religion. Forget the hippie-dippy spirituality and look at this practice in isolation.

You don’t have to be spiritually interested to enjoy the benefits of meditation. You only need to spend ten minutes a day in a quiet room to silence your mind and put the monkey’s brain back on ice.

You will become calmer and more confident. Speaking of which, read on for another exercise to do both.

5) Stop trying to multitask

Multitasking is the bane of your existence. Did you know that only 2.5% of the world Can you do that effectively?

Regardless of gender, we are not equipped to multitask. It remains the least effective way to go about your life.

Don’t you believe it? 30 Rock has created seven seasons of a main character whose comedy stems primarily from trying to multitask.

Of course, if you’re in the 2.5%, go ahead, lucky soul!

6) Eat greens

It turns out my mom was right, and you should eat your vegetables. When it comes to health, our bodies reflect our minds.

An unhealthy body will always lead to an unhealthy mind. But rather than go on the annual charade of buying a gym membership you’ll never use, start small.

Adding some spinach to an omelet or cabbage to pasta can make a huge impact on your health. Simple ways to get healthy foods into your life can make a big difference.

7) Set yourself deadlines

Ask a hundred people what they say holds them back from doing something, and most will say they lack time.

Most of us don’t really lack time. We waste most of it because of procrastination. What is extra coffee? If you do this daily, you waste five days a year.

Try holding yourself accountable instead. Create a schedule, set deadlines, and stick to it.

8) Get up and move around

It’s no surprise that you lack energy if you’re a couch potato. Our bodies were made to move, so get up and do it.

It doesn’t have to be a full workout session. Walking around the block, taking the dog on an errand, or even just dancing in your living room are all aerobics.

If you are starting to work from home, this is even more important. Here’s another small change you can make right now.

9) Stop apologizing

Some of us have a terrible habit of apologizing for every little thing in the world. Although this may sound like a good thing, it is not.

It is an unconscious view of how we feel about ourselves. So, be kind to yourself. Reframe those apologies and make them mean more.

Try a different form of “thank you” instead of “sorry” and change the way you think.

10) Don’t leave it until the morning

Laundry piled up on the chair? Dishes in the sink? It’s easy to leave the mess until the next day but stop.

I always thought I was anal keeper because I made sure to do these little tasks before bed. I only realized the reason later in life. Clearly, chaos prevents us from fully relaxing. It is always in our subconscious mind.

And that’s why I’ll never apologize for running the dishwasher or wiping down kitchen countertops before bed again.

11) Spend money for joy

It’s no secret that many people spend their money just to keep up with the neighbors. Designer clothes, expensive restaurants, and fancy cars are great for your Instagram video, but you’re smothering yourself in the long run.

Take a different approach to your spending habits. It goes like this: Spend money based on items and experiences that bring you joy.

Before you make a big purchase, ask yourself why you want to make that purchase. Put your credit card aside if it’s not about your personal satisfaction.

12) Appreciate more

Our society depends on you buying more stuff and climbing the fat pole. But in the midst of the rat race, we easily forget what we have.

Take some time to be grateful for your life. Take five minutes to think about your circumstances and the great things about them.

Additionally, if you get jealous easily, this practice will help you disengage and gain some perspective.

13) Surround yourself with positive people

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

– Jim Rohnan American businessman

In other words, surround yourself with crack addicts, and you are likely to become addicted to crack. Get together with the most miserable people in town, and you’re likely to be miserable.

Consider the people you spend your time with the most and what they bring to the table. Those closest to you should lift you up, not bring you down.

Here is one habit that can help you in your social life.

14) Talk less, listen more

Communication is the foundation of what a person is. Society only works because we can communicate, but many people miss out on the listening aspect.

Pay attention to what other people are saying and focus on whether you understand the other person. The goal is not to monopolize the conversation but to extract value from it.

Practice active listening and make a mental note of any nonverbal cues you come across. It may seem like a lot, but it will come naturally in the end.

15) Detox from social media

Social media has its uses, but spending on it for too long is like taking small doses of arsenic. It doesn’t matter if you prefer Twitter or Instagram. Social media is the most toxic place on the planet.

It will make you angry, jealous, and bitter if you allow it. One study even linked Facebook use to High rates of depression.

Try shutting down for a day or two. Leave your phone at home for an hour or two and reconnect with the real world around you.

Finally, here’s the best thing you can do to improve your life right now.

16) Invest in your own self-care

No matter how high you are or how strong you are, we all need some “me” time.

Taking time to improve your mood, mental health, and self-confidence is essential to being the best version of yourself.

Do at least one good thing for yourself every day. It could be buying a double chocolate frappuccino, learning a new skill, listening to music, or just having a nice dinner.

Either way, find some time for yourself. you deserve it!

Countless souls are investing their time, energy, and money in programs that claim to improve their lives. But you already have the tools within you to make incremental improvements to your life.

All it takes is a willingness to change and some good friends to support you every step of the way. If you’re stuck in the mud, make today the beginning of the next phase of your life.
