Can you feel happier, more energetic and productive if you make small changes in your life? The author of the book Intelligence 2.0 Travis Bradbury believes that small habits can direct anyone to the right track. In his column on The Entrepreneur, he talked about 10 habits that will help in this.
1. Stay away from people who are poisoning your life.
In our environment, there are always "toxic" people. From them, we just boil. Try to avoid this negative effect. Every time you even think about such people, try to switch to someone who is important to you, and to whom you are grateful in life. There are many people in the world who deserve your attention, concentrate your thoughts and attention on them, and not on your "toxic" acquaintances.
2. No phones, tablets and computers in bed
This habit seriously affects your sleep and productivity. Light from gadgets affects the balance of calmness and vigor - the body does not go into a quiet phase, and you sleep more anxiously. We all know the negative effect of a bad dream on our productivity. The easiest way is to stop using the device after dinner or a few hours before bedtime.
3. Appreciate the moment
Learn to appreciate what you have at this moment. If you do not learn to do it now, then in the future it will be as difficult to learn to appreciate what you aspire to.
4. Realize that things and situations are not always the same as we perceive them
This is another side of the ability to appreciate the moment. People who you envy because of their "ideal life" may well face a lot of problems behind the closed door. Ideality is an illusion. A situation that may seem like a failure may well be a great start. So be open to the opportunities that life prepares for us: what we think is not always what we get as a result.
5. Just get started, even if you are afraid of failure
Ideas need time to develop. We often "hang" because our ideas are not perfect, and the result may not be as good as we expect. Do not give in to perfectionism - give the chance to your projects to improve. To do this, you need at least start.
