Daily habits. Good habits of man

Every day we often come across many tips on what to do and what not to do. You need to sleep 8 hours a day, drink 2 liters of water per day, play sports, do not eat fatty and sweet, do not drink coffee ... They are all absolutely correct and useful, but how hard it is to bring many of them to life! We’ll try to tell you about 5 useful habits for every day that are guaranteed to give you an increase in vigor, health and well-being, but will not require superhuman efforts on your part. The only caveat: some still have to force themselves to wake up 15-20 minutes earlier (this is if you are an “owl”).

After you wake up, you can lie still for 5 minutes, but no more. We do not surf the Internet, do not turn on the TV, but go straight to the bathroom.

Our good advice number 1: cold and hot shower! Do not be afraid right away, it may become very contrasty after a while, and the contrast in our case is a warm / hot change, you don’t need to pour ice water on.



After you wash off the upper layer of sleep, several times make the water a little cooler than usual. Over time, you can begin to reduce the temperature even more, but to a comfortable state.

The benefit of such a shower is faster waking up and improving the condition of your skin. After a shower, do not dry yourself, but rather let it absorb moisture, then apply a moisturizer or lotion.

Time: 5-7 minutes.

After a shower, useful tip number 2: fast charge! We turn on the moving music and knead all the muscles in turn, starting from the neck.



You don’t need to work for wear, all you need is just a few rotational-flexion movements for each point (neck, hands, elbow bend, shoulders, belt, knees and feet). Add here 5-10 squats and 2-3 push-ups from the floor (optional).

The benefits of charging in the final waking up, the appearance of energy and vigor, increase the flow of oxygen into the body and brain.

Time: 5-7 minutes.

Let's make a small addition: our good habits for every day are tested on real people, not one of whom was harmed in the process!

While charging useful advice number 3: positive tuning! And now about the advice itself: you can not believe in the power of positive thinking and thoughts, but you can just try to apply our advice?



At least for the purpose of the experiment, 1-2 weeks. And look at the result. Doesn't work, quit. But we are sure that will work!

And to better tune in to positive thinking, you can read

So, while you are doing exercises, mentally repeat to yourself the positive settings prepared in advance or invented on the go. For example: “Thank you for another wonderful day, today only positive thoughts, only good mood, only nice people around, a lot of strength and energy. I am absolutely healthy, happy, successful. Today I will succeed in everything that is planned, I will cope with all matters. I am in perfect harmony with myself, the world around me and people. ”

As you know, this is just a rough list. You can condemn everything that is close or necessary to you. The main thing is that the settings are positive and good for everyone. And it is also desirable to call everything in the present time, as if a fact were ascertained.

The benefit of such settings in laying a positive attitude for every day, which eventually begins to come to life and change it. But you need to believe in it!

After charging, we go to the kitchen and embody useful advice number 4: a glass of water before breakfast! Preferably warm, it is possible with honey and lemon, this is by desire and taste habits.



Love coffee or tea in the morning - please, but only after. The very first is a glass of water. Do not overdo it with lemon; juice from a small segment is quite enough.

No less good in the morning can bring

The benefit of such a useful habit is that you start your gastrointestinal tract, it gets softer into the work, for which I will thank you so much. For those who cannot bring themselves to have breakfast in the morning, a glass of water will turn on their appetite. Water also improves the condition of the skin, hair, and the entire body.

Time: 2-3 minutes

  Useful habit number 5  - full breakfast! Throughout the day, it can be different, then lunch will move, or it will even fall out, dinner may fall at the most inopportune time.

If you acquire healthy habits at a young age, it is more likely that they will stay with you for life. Here are 30 healthy and healthy habits that you should have by age 30. And if you have already blown out 30 candles on a holiday cake, but still do not follow these tips - now is the time to start! Better late than never!

  1. FIND A WORKOUT THAT WILL ENJOY YOU PLEASURE

Exercise improves mood, normalizes sleep, and helps maintain weight. But if you cannot stand them, then it is unlikely that you will be engaged. Therefore, choose something to your liking: swimming, strength training. And enjoy it!

2. DRINK MORE WATER

This helps to reduce weight, improve mood, remove toxins from the body, increase tone. For starters, try to drink one more glass than you are used to. If you don’t like the taste of plain water, add a slice or a couple of mint leaves. Use mobile applications or an alarm clock - not to forget. It has been proven that a glass of water drunk 15 minutes before a meal helps to reduce weight.

3. STOP SMOKING (if you don’t smoke, don’t even try!)

You, of course, know that smoking seriously increases the risk of lung cancer and even negatively affects the brain. Studies have shown that women who quit smoking before the age of 40 live at least 10 years longer than those who continue to smoke after exchanging the fifth dozen.

4. MORE STANDBY TIME

An increasing number of studies show that the more time you spend sitting on a chair (or in a comfortable working chair - it does not matter), the higher the risk of obesity, hypertension and diabetes. And even more sadly, it does not depend on whether you exercise regularly or not. Therefore, add more physical activity to your work day. For example, get up when you talk on the phone, use every opportunity to walk, at least for documents in the next office; send documents for printing to the printer that is located farthest from you; use a screensaver on the screen of a working computer with a reminder: get up and stretch! Or become a pioneer in your office and learn how the standing desk is gaining in popularity - a standing desk.

5. CHOOSE AN APPROPRIATE MEANS OF CONTRACEPTION

Consult a doctor about this - it is very important to make an informed decision on the issue of protection from unwanted pregnancy and choose the tool that is right for you.

  6. REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ALCOHOL

There are always plenty of reasons to celebrate with a glass of wine: birthday, March 8, friendly party, etc. However, the recommendations of doctors and nutritionists regarding the amount in your life are as follows: up to 2 servings per day (130 ml of wine (15%) or 330 ml of beer (6%); up to 14 servings per week (930 ml of wine (15%) or 2300 ml beer (6%), and at least 3-4 days a week without alcohol.Regular excess of this dose leads not only to fatigue, poor health, but also the onset of cancer and alcoholism

7. GO THERE AND DO IT REGULAR

Therapist is the first on our list: he needs to be visited once a year, even with excellent health. A visit to the gynecologist - twice a year, to a mammologist - once a year, and after 40 years, it is recommended to conduct a mammogram as well. Once a year, we check hormones with an endocrinologist, we undergo an examination with a gastroenterologist. A visit to the dentist twice a year will not only save you from dental problems, but also give a beautiful smile.

8. LOVE

Notice, it does not say "when you reach the desired weight." Your body does a lot for you, even if you are unhappy with some of its individual parts. Therefore, accept yourself as you are here and now - and you will become much happier!

9. REGULARLY MEET FRIENDS

This will not only help you relax and get rid of (which, of course, is important for physical and mental health), but also helps you burn more calories. At least this is evidenced by the results of one of the studies. So even if you are super busy, take the time to meet friends and be healthy!

  10. LEARN TO PREPARE, IF SEVERAL

Recent studies have shown that if you know how to enjoy food, then it is much easier for you to follow the principles of a healthy diet to reduce weight or to maintain it. So go cook! So you can control the whole process and monitor the amount of oil, salt and sugar that enter your body.

11. FIND A DOCTOR whom you will trust and whom you will listen.

Recent studies have shown that for women, women can be better doctors than men. Of course, such a statement cannot be true for all medical professions. However, the gender of the doctor affects how comfortable you are at the appointment. After all, if you trust a doctor, you are more likely to share with him the necessary information about your well-being and follow his prescriptions.

12. STUDY THE HISTORY OF YOUR FAMILY'S DISEASE

It’s not a fact that your mother wants to tell you that her father was prone to heart disease, his uncle suffered from mental illness, and his grandmother was a diabetic, but your health condition may depend on this. The more you know about what your family members were sick with, the better you and your attending physician are ready for what may await you in the future. So ask senior family members these important questions as long as you have the opportunity.

  13. MEDIA AT ANY OPPORTUNITY

It happens that you want to disconnect from all the problems. But this is not only a “disconnection”, it is a reduction in stress levels, mobilization of brain reserves and a host of other positive side effects, for example, the lack of a tendency to unconscious (like imperceptibly eating a whole packet of chips that was not going to be taken out of the buffet at all )

14. DO MORE

Here are a few reasons why you should regularly have an orgasm: it really relieves headaches and also alleviates any other type of pain by releasing oxytocin; Sex twice a week is almost a multivitamin: it stimulates the body’s immune system and normalizes the cycle.

15. TAKE SAFETY SEX

It is important!

16. GET THE DOSE FROM THE FOOD YOU EAT

Some studies have warned consumers against buying multivitamins. Of course, your doctor may recommend you to take them in some cases. But in general, eating as many vitamins and minerals as possible with food is much better than taking them in the form of pills, including due to the lower risk of allergies.

17. TAKING CARE OF YOUR MENTAL HEALTH

It plays an important role in your daily life and well-being in general. If you are experiencing serious stress or depression, do not ignore these problems and seek qualified help.

18. DISCLAIM HARD DIET

Experts say that it is considered safe to lose weight in the range of 0.5-1 kg per week. And this means the need to create a calorie deficit of 500-1000 kcal daily, combining proper balanced nutrition and physical activity. Your diet can be 1500 kcal with reasonable physical activity. More extreme measures can lead to nutritional deficiencies and yo-yo effects (weight jumps).

19. Limit TV Watching

No one talks about a complete rejection, but the more time you spend in front of the TV, the more likely you are to gain weight. Plus, studies show that watching TV for a long time negatively affects relationships in a couple. Therefore, minimize the time in front of the TV and use the free time for more active actions.

20. Get rid of

Not only because it is just ridiculous to sob and tear your hair out over the eaten chocolate muffin. It can also nullify all your weight loss efforts. The truth is that it’s normal to forgive yourself for rare small weaknesses.

21. TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEART

40% of women do not put the concern for heart health in the first place. But the statistics is this: every fourth woman dies from heart disease. So a healthy heart is really a matter of life and death. Therefore, take care of the heart: laugh every day (this reduces blood pressure), do not solve work issues at home or on vacation, include in your diet chicken, tomatoes, and bitter; do physical education.

22. AVOID HARMFUL CHEMICALS

There is no data on human exposure to various chemicals in the long run. But we believe that you should not play Russian roulette with your body. Therefore, carefully choose hair dye, makeup, products and ready-made foods.

23. STOP LIVING "FROM SALARY TO SALARY"

... and start saving money. Rich people are often rich because they have the intelligence to save or invest what they have earned. Long-term financial well-being is something you should think about right now. Start by saving every month at least 10% of your income in a bank savings account. If you are not motivated by the phrase “long-term financial well-being”, think about what you need a “safety cushion” that will save you in the event of unforeseen circumstances: job loss, accident, illness.

24. STAY HOME IF YOU ARE SICK

Almost 4 out of 5 people say they go to work, even if they are sick. Do not take over this bad habit - and you will not be a danger to others.

25. REGULAR SELECT IN THE NATURE

Women who spend more time outdoors are much happier, healthier and more creative. And for those who are their opposite, there is an alarming signal: doctors have already identified a group of "health problems caused by insufficient exposure to fresh air."

25. LESS DISPUTE WITH ITS PARTNER

Recent studies of the human brain have shown that people who do not feel the support of their partner are prone to the accumulation of calcium salts in the coronary arteries and circulatory disorders. Sometimes you feel: I MUST prove that I am right! But believe me, it's not worth it!

26. REGULARLY BE “OFFLINE”

Several studies have shown that the more time you spend with your devices, the more likely you will experience sleep disturbances. Other studies have found a connection between frequent phone use and poor physical fitness and a relationship between your Facebook friends and stress levels. Therefore, more often - for your own good.

27. SLEEP AT LEAST 7-8 HOURS

28. HAVE MORE VEGETABLES AND FRUIT EVERY DAY

29. PREPARE A HEALTH INSURANCE

This will help you get quality medical care in the event of a serious illness.

  30. FORGIVE YOURSELF FOR ERRORS

None of us are perfect. Therefore, do not reproach yourself for small oversights. A growing number of studies show that compassion for oneself is important for mental and physical health.

Good habits, like bad ones, can tell a lot about health, a person’s lifestyle. This is his second nature. Acquired in youth, they further determine the psychological, intellectual and physical condition. The more useful habits, the richer the person in all respects.

4 basic good habits

No. 1 - Have breakfast every morning

The risk of obesity and diabetes is reduced. During breakfast, the body receives the right amount of minerals, vitamins, and almost no cholesterol. As a result, a person looks better, feels cheerful, does not overeat.

No. 2 - Get enough sleep

People at different ages need a different time to sleep. The main thing is to get enough sleep. Health, appearance are directly dependent on a full sleep.

No. 3 - Exercise, walk in the fresh air

Everyday walking and light exercise will help control extra pounds, improve the condition of joints, and, in the end, prolong life. Move, even when talking on the phone, go up the stairs, and not on the elevator, getting to work, get off a couple of stops earlier.

No. 4 - Drink plenty of fluids

Liquid helps to lose extra pounds, improves metabolism. With a lack of water, the body begins to "save" it, and this is the reason for swelling. The daily dose is from 1.5 liters.

13 good health habits

1. smile more often, the smile charges positively;
2. before breakfast, drink a cup of water;
3. cigarettes and alcohol are unhealthy - discard them;
4. eat fresh fruits and vegetables daily;
5. take food 3-4 times a day in small portions at the same time;
6. the last daily meal should be before 19:00;
7. it is useful to drink infusions of herbs with honey;
8. starve. With proper fasting, the body is cleansed and rejuvenated. Starve preferably 20 days a year. If health allows, more is possible;
9. use less salt;
10. replace sugar with honey;
11. morning or evening runs should be daily;
12. wash before bedtime;
13. sleep in a cool room.

Rules for mental health and tone:

Go to bed early and get up early

But sleep should last at least 7 hours. It is proven that 90 percent of famous people woke up in 5-6 hours. They followed the natural rhythm of the universe.

Do not be angry and do not slander

Feel that you’ll “break loose”, count to 20. Do not forget: the law of attraction works. A lot of negativity from you - will come even more to you.

Relax

Especially helpful after a shower. Lie on your back. Breathing is free. Feel weightless. Then massage near the corners of the eyes. Make 7 rotational movements of the eyeballs counterclockwise and clockwise. Even a short relaxation to the music will raise the tone, calm the nervous system, strengthen health.

Walk barefoot.  "Grounding" perfectly soothes nerves, helps get rid of fungus, other foot diseases.

Sunbathe  - the sun energizes the body. Just do not be zealous - no burns are needed.

Take time with your family.  Call, talk, talking with children, get a lot of pleasure.

Organization and productivity do not come by accident or overnight. Only good habits for every day are able to change any situation. I have seen this for many years of practice and passion for productivity and business management.

Of course, a miracle will not happen! No application or system will do your thing for you. Even the growth of artificial intelligence will not help you!

All the same, you will be required to enter data in one form or another. Anyway, you will have to make decisions about how best to organize the work before any machine can do something with it.

If you are serious about becoming more organized and productive, you will have to do your work independently, change yourself and change your habits.

The biggest reason you can be disorganized and unproductive is the habits practiced every day:

• when asked to do something and you rely on your memory to remember - do not be surprised that you forgot to do it
• if you can’t imagine which work is important and which is not, you will strive to perform simple rather than important work

These habits destroy productivity. And if you do not identify them, do not change - nothing will change in life!

There are many good practices that you can apply. They have been tested by millions of incredibly productive people and have proven their worth. Many of these practices have been scientifically reinforced by the laws of physics and human nature.

Realizing them, you can develop habits that will resist human weaknesses and shortcomings.

To get started, implement the most basic habits of personal effectiveness:

4 habits that improve organization and productivity

Do not trust your brain - do not keep information and tasks in mind

Our brain is more complex and productive than any computer of the latest model. But it is absolutely not intended to remind us of what needs to be done and at what time.

For those who say that his brain can:

1. Schedule a few appointments for the day. Important meetings
2. Remove the watch, smartphone, computer (any gadget) from your eyes.
3. Keep these few meetings in mind, trusting the brain to remind you when you need it.

How will you feel?

It's impossible. In order not to be late for a meeting, we need at least hours. That is, an external technical device that will help control time.

Or a second example:

you return from work, open the refrigerator and see that you have not bought any of the products. Although in the morning you knew about it, remembered. But somehow distracted, forgotten. They focused on something else. Thinking, being near the store, about important, but completely different things.

What to do:

Develop a good habit of writing everything that caught your attention in your Inbox. At the same time, clearly determine why you need to collect this incoming information. Just lock. Do not rush to process what you have recorded right away. At the same time, do not forget to constantly clear your inbox!

If you need to highlight these tasks, do as much as you can.

• put a star "Favorites"
• assign the necessary context where you can or need to complete this task. For example, @ Shop or @ Road

  You can add tasks to Inbox MLO with the click of a button on the widget

Before leaving work at the end for, in the scheduler, switch to the “Favorites” or “Nearby” view to find out if there is anything that needs to be done on the way home.

  The MyLifeOrganized “Near” view on the smartphone allows me to see what and where I can do

A simple way, but incredibly effective!

Find the right place for each item.

I feel the effect of this habit constantly. I don’t wear glasses all the time - only when I read, I work. Accordingly, glasses are often removed where they did not want to be removed and stored. Sometimes in the kitchen, sometimes in the hallway, more often in the bedroom. At the next need, the search for points turned into a real quest.

To make life easier and relieve stress, I found that leaving glasses constantly on my desktop, I know exactly where they are. I do not have to waste time searching for them.

  For each thing you need to determine your place. For glasses - this is a place near the computer

This method can be used with

• keys
• work bag
• a smartphone
• other items to take with you when you go to work

Always leave things in one place and you will save a huge amount of time!

Create lists of morning and evening routine

Our brains love routine. Regular actions do not need the cost of internal energy or thought fuel, as Maxim Dorofeev calls it in his "Jedi technique." Everything happens on the machine. It does not take much effort to support or think.

Simple actions, such as viewing cases for tomorrow before going to bed, to see where you should be tomorrow. Or loading dishes into the dishwasher before you sit down and rest after dinner.

All these are trifles. But this useful habit allows you to save a huge amount of energy, which allows the brain to think about other, more important things.

Make morning and evening lists for yourself. All routine to be performed in the morning or evening. This will help save energy and become more organized.

But by no means should you download your daily plans with these routine lists. Plans for - this is completely different. I wrote about this in the article "If you want to become more productive, do less."

For morning and evening lists, I have separate contexts that appear at specific times and in specially configured views and tabs.

MyLifeOrganized Contexts for Creating Morning and Evening Lists

Conduct a weekly review with planning for next week.

One of the most effective ways to control your life is to spend one to two hours a week on

• summing up last week
• determining what you want to do next week

The habit of conducting a weekly review changes your life, allowing you to focus on what is really important.

It is very easy to drift through life without reaching anything. Even if you never set goals, a weekly review will give you a complete understanding.

1. where are you going
2. where are you right now

If you are not happy with the current situation, you can review

• think about where you want to go
• what do you want to achieve
• what do you want to do (achieve) next week

Such an approach will help to identify important areas, projects, goals. Track how much time is spent on unimportant tasks.

To simplify the weekly review, I perform many functions daily:

• i process incoming messages in MyLifeOrganized - described in more detail in “Inbox or how many baskets I have for collecting incoming information“
• i clean mail from incoming emails - there is an article on this topic "Effective work with e-mail"
• i handle expired tasks
• looking through ideas and pending thoughts in the form of "Overview"

So my weekly review consists mainly of

1. Project Processing
2. Goal setting of the week

  My daily and weekly review options at MyLifeOrganized

By time

• daily review takes 10-15 minutes
• weekly - 30-60 minutes depending on workload

What good habits are most important for productivity?

Each good habit for every day is important in its own way. To find your most important habit, test all four. And choose individually what works specifically for your needs.

These are just a few of the habits you can develop to become organized and more productive. Having implemented them, you will see an immediate improvement in organization, planning, achievement of goals.

Implementing goals is convenient when completing the walkthrough. The environment is there! What good habits can be developed in a hundred days, you can read here.

There will be a clear idea that it is important for you what steps you need to take to eliminate the “time eaters”.

The main thing is just to start!

In my individual trainings, I work through all the areas described

Effective work with incoming information

1. We are developing the habit of quickly determining what is worth recording in the inbox and what is not
2. Use all the functionality of MyLifeOrganized to collect incoming information from my head, from the agenda of the meeting, from articles from the Internet, from books read)

Building a task tree

1. Determining where and how tasks and projects should be stored
2. Creating a clear hierarchical structure with the definition of the importance of each direction

Create Required Lists

1. Lists of morning and evening routine control
2. Required Checklists
3. How to create lists inside projects

Conduct weekly reviews

1. Step-by-step checklist of daily and weekly reviews
2. Joint weekly reviews
3. Resuscitation of the system from any state

We are all used to doing certain actions every day. For example, constantly having breakfast is something special. Each of them has his own actions and can be characterized as habits that actually form our life with you.

But in order for life to be fulfilled and harmonious, and also to be active and healthy, I suggest you study the list of 10 useful habits for every day that I use and which will make you and your life much better and more interesting.

The list is formed by the importance of these actions (for me personally), they can be in a different sequence or even different.

SO, TOP 10 USEFUL HABITS EVERY DAY.

FIRST HABIT - WAKE UP.

Running in the morning is a pleasure. Fresh and clean air, little transport (if you suddenly run along the highway and you do not have forest zones), sunrise. Beauty. What could be more beautiful. And also, the habit of running in the morning, energizes for the whole day, improves mood, improves mental activity due to an abundant rush of blood to the brain, increases libido, protects against cardiovascular diseases, improves skin condition, and cures depression. In general, running is a complete benefit.

My recommendation to you. If you have never run and avoided physical education classes in high school, then just start by walking in the mornings, after a week begin to speed up your pace. And you will not notice how in a month you will run. In a good way, in order for running to be of real use, you need to run for at least 30-40 minutes every day.

THIRD HABIT - “MOVEMENT, ACTIVITY”

I already mentioned the good habit of running, but there are other types of physical activity. Any activity is beneficial to a person, and in today's modern world, where almost any work is sedentary, you just need to move.

Use this opportunity everywhere:

If you live in an apartment building, then instead of the elevator, walk along the stairs. In principle, it is generally advisable to walk more on foot, take a break for 5, 10 minutes every hour. If you are an office employee, walk more in the fresh air, try to go to the park or take a walk somewhere outside the city on weekends (this does not always work out for me).

Instead of sitting in a bar and drinking beer, help for example your parents in the country or in the garden (if you or your parents have a private house). If you have a small child, set aside 20-30 minutes for active games, ride a bike in the summer, swim, ski in the winter in your free time.

Be active every day. And then you will feel much better from introducing this habit into your lifestyle.

HABIT FOUR - “READING, SELF-EDUCATION”

One of the most important habits in my opinion is reading. With the development of high technology and the advent of the Internet, books have lost their relevance to humans. People are no longer interested in flipping books, they are just too lazy to do this, too lazy to think and develop. Therefore, a man exchanged a book for TV and a smartphone.

But, in fact, the book plays a very important role in the formation of man, understanding of the world, in his philosophy and thinking. The reading person thinks faster, he has developed memory, imagination, logical thinking, a larger vocabulary (which is very important when communicating, for example, in business circles). A person who reads a lot self-develops, gets the experience and knowledge of other people, develops his own worldview.

Here is a new formula for you: every day read some useful book for at least 30 minutes. Reading implies real literature, motivational or educational books (such as Achieving the Maximum - Brian Tracy or the scientific research of Colleen Campbell, well, or just fiction). But not reading posts on social networks about how useful it is to drink beer and eat barbecue on vacation. Introduce this habit into your life and you will not notice how you begin to surpass your friends and employees at work with your diverse thinking.

FIFTH HABIT - SOMETHING NEW

Do something new every day. This will bring diversity to your life, even any little thing in the form of a new route to work (for example, when you go to work or return home), try new food or nutrition in general.

New combinations in clothes, new books, new places for walking with the family, new skills. Try, for example, eating with the other hand, start learning a foreign language. Or plunge into a new sport for yourself, fly on vacation to another region or another country, start simply traveling first within, and then outside your hometown and city familiar to you.

Explore your city thoroughly, for sure you have not seen many amazing places and have never been there. Change the dishes at home, rearrange the furniture, make redecorating in the apartment, go to museums, theaters, concerts and exhibitions more often, finally change your work if you are tired of it. Live bright and varied!

HABIT SIX - TIME MANAGEMENT

Learn time management. If you want more time for yourself and your family, then learn how to use time effectively. There are many secrets on how to do this. If we analyze the average person’s day, then 30% of the time goes nowhere: social networks, TV, long meals, again under the TV, empty talk, lying in bed in the morning, smoke breaks, coffee breaks.

In addition, time is simply used inefficiently: constantly distracting factors at work, no plan for the day, no goals, life goes on. And time is not a replenished resource, it is impossible to return yesterday. The habit of managing your time is one of the best habits forever.

HABIT SEVEN - SUCCESS DIARY

Keep a success diary. Every day, in the evening, write down your progress for today in a special notebook or phone. We do this right on our website. We keep two diaries at once. Training Diary and Nutrition Diary.

Keeping a diary will increase your self-esteem, help you focus on positive and give energy for further actions. It will take 5 minutes of time, and as a result you will get a chronology of your everyday victories, which you can always re-read if you begin to "give up" or flood sadness.

Write down all the little things you did during the day: got up 5 minutes earlier, ate a wholesome breakfast, walked, made an appointment with a client, made an important call, and spent more time with your family. All these are your small victories on the path to great success!

Habit Eight - Positive

Learn to notice good in everything. Whatever a bad event, ask yourself the question: “What good can I learn from this event?”. You need to ask right away, until you are covered by a wave of despondency, anger or a bad mood. While you go to work or walk, pay attention to all sorts of little things: green grass, trees, sky, wind, sun, birds, children, animals, cleanliness.

Look around for the “bright side of the coin” - this will teach you not to despair even in the most difficult situations. As the saying goes, "optimists are spinning the globe."

HABIT NINE - NUTRITION

Eat as healthy as possible and get rid of bad habits. Food is the closest contact with the outside world. What you eat during the day makes you either energetic and strong, or vice versa lethargic and lethargic. Try changing your diet. Study the literature on proper and natural nutrition.

Forget about diets. Be sure to read the articles on our website about the transition to proper nutrition - this will be the first step to your health and longevity. Most importantly, stop eating junk food, sandwiches, drink soda, coffee and black tea from morning to evening, eat a lot of sweet, salty, meat, milk, smoke and drink alcohol. You don’t even want to listen.

And you try at least a couple of weeks. You will feel much easier and more energetic. Take food with you in containers. Drink more ordinary non-carbonated water. Snack on fruits and vegetables. Make more salads without mayonnaise and butter. Remember, "we are what we eat."

HABIT TENTH - ORDER AND ACCOUNTING

The last habit has incorporated 2 of the most important parameters of life. The first is order. Clean up your home and workplace. Get rid of all old, unnecessary things by selling or presenting them, make a wardrobe for several days, the rest takes up extra space.
