SUCCESS Is Not An Accident.
Human beings are creations with extreme abilities to take control of their environment anytime, every time and always. History hold countless examples of this fact up until this very moment. But more importantly, humans have also been endowed with super abilities and skills to develop habits that determine how comfortable or otherwise they live on planet earth and even beyond. Hence we see man now exploring planet Mars after conquering the moon.
We as humans have far more habits than we realize. It’s been said that successful people merely have successful habits. Success takes time to materialize, and habits repeat themselves over time after being developed either consciously or otherwise. Your individual habits each serve to move you closer to success or make success more challenging.
Available to every human here on planet earth, are only 24 hours in each day, so it’s not possible to have an unlimited number of habits. Choosing the most effective habits is a big responsibility and this may become really challenging for the one with no discipline!
8 SOLID Habits That GUARANTEE SUCCESS.
Below are a set of eight success habits you may want to consider developing going forward if you haven't already done so before now. Add these habits to your life and increase your success rate:
1 . Make a to-do list each night.
Start the day with a bang by having carefully
chosen your activities and priorities for the following day.
You’ll sleep better by having one less thing on your mind.
You’ll get more done by not spending your morning trying to plan your day.
2 . Ruthlessly prioritize your activities.
No matter what your goal might be, there is one action that is
more important than the rest. Determine that action and
make it your focus until it is complete.
After making your to-do list, chisel it down to the most important
activity and start your day there.
While others are focused on doing what’s easiest, you’ll be working on what’s most effective. The difference is considerable.
3 . Get at least 7-8 hours of sleep.
Many claim to do just fine on 4-6 hours of sleep, but for a fact,
recent studies have shown that no one is as effective with 6 hours
of sleep as they are with 7 to 8. It's just a nature's rule to abide by.
So, if you’re getting less than 7 hours each night, you’re under-performing even if you don't realise.
4 . Pray or meditate for a certain period each day.
Getting in touch with your spirituality is very important
to your creativity and the overall balance in your life.
Fifteen minutes or more a day, depending on your believe system, provides a nice break and the opportunity to regroup and revitalize your inner self.
5 . Review your goals at least once per day.
Continue to remind yourself of your aims and objectives.
Your brain is wonderful at finding solutions,
so keep reminding it of the primary challenge in your life.
Reviewing your goals regularly on a daily basis creates and maintains a target. This target make focus a lot easier.
6 . Review your day each night.
Imagine how much easier life would be if you avoided making
the same mistakes. Reviewing your day and acknowledging your
successes and failures is an effective way to avoid making the
same errors over and over.
Start with the morning and work sequentially through your day. Ask yourself, “What could I have done better?” Establish a more effective alternative for the next time.
Also be sure to review your successes. Labeling them as such will increase
the likelihood of them happening again.
7 . Exercise daily.
Exercise not only strengthens your health, but it also improves
your alertness and self-esteem. The vast majority of successful people report
exercising each day, rain or shine.
It doesn’t matter when you exercise, but most high-achievers make out time to work out in the morning. 30 minutes moderate exercise is ideal for a healthy living.
8 . Practice mindfulness.
Mindfulness is all the rage today, but the idea has been around
for at least 2500 years. Mindfulness is detached awareness of your
surroundings and thoughts. It’s keeping your mind on the task at hand.
Avoid worrying about the future or regretting the past.
Your day will be more productive and enjoyable with mindfulness.
So there you have them. Take control of your habits. Your habits are behaviors that are repeated over and over without requiring willpower. You likely brush your teeth every night or morning without any mental turmoil. The same ease can be accomplished with other tasks, like exercise, mindfulness etc. as discussed above. _Start small and with only a single habit. Build and expand as each activity becomes ingrained.
Consider your current habits. Are they bringing you closer to success or making success less likely? Answer yourself most sincerely, start taking required actions and take charge.
