For many of us, the reason to change comes from personal suffering, sadness, and hurt. At some point, you can’t stand your current behavior anymore.
Don’t worry about how you will change. Focus on what habits you want to form and why.
And keeping this in mind, here is how to totally transform your dull self into someone desirable, outgoing, and a down-right go-getter!
Do a full-body workout with weights 3 times a week
Strength training has several benefits. It protects bone health, muscle mass, keeps you lean, increases energy levels, and prevents injuries.
Ideally, you want to train all your muscles, 3 times a week. That’s why it’s great to do full-body workouts. It’s simple, practical, and it works
Set 3-4 daily priorities
This is one of the best productivity strategies there is. We all know that focus is what brings us results.
No focus? No results. So how do you focus? By limiting your options and tasks. Elimination is the key.
Be very clear about what you want to achieve every single day, week, and year.
Every day, work on 3-4 essential (and small) tasks that will bring you closer to your weekly and yearly goals.
Read 60 minutes a day
In this day and edge of internet videos, most people don’t like to read.
Nevertheless, Reading is essential for your cognition. But you already knew that. How about this? Reading will also turn you into a better thinker and writer.
“But I still don’t like to read.” Well, there are many things in life we don’t like, but we still do them. Instead of telling yourself you don’t like to read, learn to enjoy it by doing it every day.
And like magic, one day, you’ll love to read.
Sleep 7-8 hours a night
Never sacrifice sleep for anything!
While there are some people who can perform well with 5 hours of sleep, most of us need more.
If you’re part of the latter group, make sure you get enough sleep. And be dead serious about it. If you’re not in a position to cancel meetings, make sure to sleep early.
Walk 30 minutes a day
If you can’t MAKE the time to go for a daily walk, you’re not in control of your life.
Not only is walking vital for health benefits, but it also breaks the pattern of our mundane lives. Look, we can’t deny that life is routine. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
But when you walk outside, you’re forced to be one with the world.
It heightens your senses. You can go alone or with someone else. You can have a good conversation. Or you can simply enjoy the surroundings.
