Introduction
The power of habits
Life is all about habits. The habits that you entertain sets the course and the standard of your life. By your habits your life can go up and by the very same habits your life can go down. Your life is dictated by your habits the very same way a person controls the car through the steering wheel.
Bad habits produce a bad life and good habits also produce a good life. It’s all about the habits you entertain. Tell me one thing, if you eat a banana, would you vomit an apple? Not a chance. You will only vomit whatever you have eaten. A person is his habits. Habits determine the standard of the life of a person. The poorer are the habits, the poorer a life would be or is going to be. Show me your habits and I will tell you your future.
In this blog post, we are unpacking the habits one can adopt in order to live a very healthy and rich life. What are the habits that can change your life for the better? What habits can you adopt that can make a major difference in your life? The following are the powerful, life changing habits that can change the course of your life:
- Read everyday
Read 30 minutes or more everyday. Make reading your trusted habit. The world is changing everyday. You cannot rely on the old ideas on the ever changing world. Read so that you can improve your life. Reading improves people. Yes it does. By increasing your knowledge, you will be able to see more opportunities. So in that regard, make it a point to read everyday so you can sharpen your brain. Reading is the food of the brain the same way rice is the food of the stomach.
2. Control your emotions
Not every thought needs to come out of your mouth. Not every emotion needs to be expressed. It is sometimes good to keep things to yourself. Some words are better not given life to. Learn to keep some things to yourself.
When you say whatever is in your mind, you risk hurting others. You risk destroying others. So as a result, learn to filter your emotions. Also understand the fact that letting emotions control you can destroy relationships at work and at home.
3. Talk less and listen more
The more you listen, the more you learn and know. You will miss a lot of information if you talk more and listen less. Instead learn to talk less and listen more. When you talk less, you will listen more and as a result, you will gain some pertinent information that is able to change the entire scope of your life.
4. Avoid toxic people
Spend your precious time with the people who are good for you. Avoid people who are toxic as they can affect your life badly. You need people that can influence your life positively. This is good for you. Many lost their lives due to toxic people. People have lost things due to toxic people. Make some necessary arrangements starting from today. Your life and your next level in depends on it. Yes it does.
5. Not giving up
Focus. You are closer than you think. Be persistent. Remain patient and the best is yet to come. Never ever find yourself giving up no matter the situation. Rest but don’t give up. You are closer than you think.
6. Get a mentor
You can’t see a picture while you are in the frame. If you are not a type that can make things happen, I recommend that you get a mentor. It’s you who know the shoes you are wearing. Get a mentor and watch your life shift like night and day.
7. Eliminate “bad luck” from your vocabulary
You don’t have a bad luck. It’s just not your time. Words create and shape. Never say you are cursed. Speak the opposite of what you want to see in your life. If you think you have bad luck, don’t speak it because you will intensify it. Just deal with the bad luck quietly without speaking loudly about it. Eliminate bad luck from your vocabulary once and for all.
8. Set aside self-limiting beliefs holding you back
What’s holding you back? Of Course the beliefs you hold are holding you back. What do you believe about God, money, other people and life in general? Whatever you believe about any area of your life, that will come true. That will be your reality. Your beliefs determine your reality. Your reality is your life. Check what you believe in any area of your life and fix it. As you fix your beliefs, your life will shift and change for the better.
9. Avoid procrastination
Kill procrastination in your life. Deal with it as it carries within itself the potential to kill many dreams and purposes. Check our previous post about procrastination and deal decisively with it. Courage is the way to go. Action is the way to go.
10. Know your main purpose
Find your life purpose and fulfill it. Be about your life purpose no matter how you think it’s useless. No Matter how small you think it is, still pursue it. Your purpose will make you happy, fulfilled and joyous. Deviating from your purpose is deviating from yourself and deviating from yourself is deviating from your life, period. Find your purpose because your very life depends on it. Yes it does.
