10 Habits We Need All Our Life

Life is a learning process. It is a constant endeavor for us to improve ourselves & better our lives. We have one life, and it’s important to make it count. For those who believe in the concept reincarnation, what’s the harm in getting a head-start for the next life?
The process of self-improvement begins with discipline & a sincerity to upgrade our way of living. Here are 10 habits that can help you get there & transform you:

• #1. Begin Your Day Early

No more hitting the snooze button. Most successful people begin their day early, some begin as early as 4 am. Brainstorm ideas when the world sleeps. The best ideas will come to you then. Plan your battles for the day ahead when it is much quieter.

• 
  

• #2. Make Healthy Choices

No real need to all Rocky on your workouts, but a moderate amount of exercises can go a long way. Avoid that awesome cheese burst pizza or that pathetic excuse of a meal at McDonald's. Eat healthy foods, avoid sugary colas & highly caffeinated energy drinks. And kick the butt, no we mean the cigarette butt! Notice the difference.

• 
  

• #3. Envision Your Success

Every single day, imagine the person you want to five or ten years from this moment. Set your goals. Plan how you’re going to achieve them. Define your own idea of success!

• 
  

• #4. Be Financially Aware

Keep a track of your finances, be aware of your expenditures. Plan ahead & focus on growing your wealth through wise investments. Have long term financial plans along with short-term plans.

• 
  

• #5. You Are The Company You Keep

This is considered to be one of the most important attributes of successful people. They surround themselves with optimistic people. In turn, it affects the way they lead their lives. Weed out the bad influences in your life & surround yourselves with people who have a positive approach to life.

• In spite of all the planning & execution, things may simply not turn out in your favour. Give up the idea of being in control. There are higher powers that influence outcomes, beyond your control. Always account for variable change.
  

• #7. Document Your Life [Blog, Photo Log, Video Log]

Keep a log of the events in your life, the activities that you do. Write down your thoughts in a journal or maintain a blog with photos & videos. Leave your mark behind for the world to know that ‘you were here’!
 

• #8. Share Your Knowledge

• Knowledge grows when it is shared. No matter what you’ve learned until now, no matter how small or inconsequential, share it with others. Remember everybody has a different experience in life. You never know when your experiences & learnings might help enrich the lives of others.
  

• #9. Random Acts Of Kindness

It may be a simple smile exchanged with a stranger, buying a food for a poor person, helping an old person cross the road. You need not pre-empt your actions, let them be spontaneous. It is surprising to know how much satisfaction you can get from the fact that you made someone’s day. In turn, it’ll brighten up your day.

• #10. Take A Break, Rejuvenate Yourself

Why do you work? So you can earn money, or you can lead a comfortable stress-free life with that money? Learn to let go, take a break & enjoy your life. Life need not be a routine. Be impulsive, not mechanical.
