HABIT 1: WAKE UP EARLY

 

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

An early bird surely catches the worm! Harvard biologist Christopher Randler discovered in 2008 that early risers are more pro-active. He also found that early beams anticipate problems and minimize them efficiently. Sleep experts have suggested that waking up early tunes your body to the Earth’s circadian rhythms and offers more restorative sleep. Although you might be a night-owl, but it will do you no harm to reschedule for a day.

Create a bedtime ritual. Force yourself to bed at the same hour every night. Cultivate a positive environment in your mind. Maybe even recruit a friend to hold your feet to fire every morning! As you practice getting up with the Sun for a week, your biological clock adjusts itself. Now you have an extra three hours time to organize your thoughts. Drink water, exfoliate, moisturize, exercise and begin your day!

HABIT 2: TIME-MANAGEMENT

“If you love life don’t waste your time because it’s time that life is made up of”- Bruce Lee

We are all wrapped in this 24-hour time warp! Time and tide surely waits for none. So, master the art of time-management. A to-do list at the beginning of the day is obligatory. Avoid procrastination. Prioritize your work. Delegate your tasks effectively to avoid burnouts. Have your own deadlines and be a stickler for punctuality. Multitasking might be branded as a win-win; but it most certainly isn’t. Learn to say no to things that might hamper with your ongoing work. Break yourself from the monotony of life at regular intervals and relax your mind.

Time-management has been proven to reduce stress and yield better results in a shorter span.

HABIT 3: BE THE MANAGER OF YOUR EMOTIONS:

Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, knowledge and emotion

 

 

Plummeting to doom when failure knocks your door or letting your excitement rise like a tide on every success aren’t symptoms of the success disease.  Keep your feet to the ground and do not let the vicissitudes of life engulf you. Masquerade your emotions and never let your face blurt the sentiments within. Let no one know what is behind those brains.

Valuing solitude is the next step. ‘Me-time’ is the boss of all times. Meditate when solitary; peregrinate in your mind your actions throughout the day. Assess and evaluate. Do not lie to yourself in the process.

Be your own harbinger of harsh reality. Ingrain in your mind that is only you who has your own back at the end of day.  It’s only you who’s going to cushion the blows of your life.

HABIT 4: READ!

A book is a man’s best friend!

Read books of your interest cover to cover. Dive deep into words and squeeze meaning out of every sentence. Mark Zuckerbug resoluted on reading a new book every second week in 2015.

Voracious readers have fervor for knowledge ,enhanced memory skills and analytic thinking capabilities. Readers are equipped with cosmos of words that lets them express their thoughts effectively.

HABIT 5: Frugality

 

 

Frugality is founded on the principle that all riches have limits.

An economist makes his way through all pernicious phases of life. Author Thomas Corley notes that affluent people avoid over-spending. Instead they comparison-shop and negotiate. Debts take people down and they have a devil of time recovering. Save from your income or pocket-money. It takes you to the road of financial independency.

You could begin with saving a portion of your salary at the beginning of the month.
