Build better habits and boost your discipline.
Instructions
-
Set a morning and night routine.
Start your morning with meditation, reading, exercises, a healthy breakfast, and a positive mindset. Finish your day with a relaxing night routine by turning off digital devices and relaxing your mind. Sleep at least seven hours. Replace complaining with gratitude by writing down a few things you are grateful for every morning and night. -
Set daily goals.
Break down your most important goals into smaller achievable daily tasks. Organize your space and daily activities, so you’ll be less stressed, more productive, self-confident, and energetic. -
Apply the 40% rule in everything that you do.
When you feel it's time to stop some physical or mental action, think that you’ve just reached 40% of your capacity, so keep working beyond that level. -
Control your arousal.
Overcome stress with deep breathing. When you feel overwhelmed and burdened, use the “box breathing” technique: Take a deep breath for four seconds, hold your breath for four seconds and finally exhale slowly for four seconds. -
Go beyond your limitations.
Set goals 10x bigger than the outcome you want. This will make you believe that you can achieve more and work 10x harder to achieve your goal. -
Apply the ten-minute rule to postpone destructive urges and prolong beneficial behaviors.
When you feel an urge to do something wrong, such as eating chips while on a diet, wait for ten minutes until the craving stops, on the other hand, if you are doing something useful, such as exercising, writing a book, or performing vital work, and you feel it is time to stop, prolong it for another 10 minutes, then another ten, and so on.
