3 steps for building positive habits

Learn habits that stick and are sustainable.

Setting goals doesn't always work you must learn to establish habits that will lead you toward success.

1. Start small - a tiny habit is easier to stick to.

Do you resolve to exercise more often? Start with just 10 pushups a day or a short jog around the neighborhood — something so quick that there’s no excuse not to do it. Once a habit begins to feel natural, increase the amount of time or effort you spend.

2. Fit new habits together with existing habits

Choose a habit that’s already second nature, then schedule your new habit immediately after. Think about your own days: what existing habits can be extended or transformed?

If you’ve resolved to read more, place a book next to your cup of morning coffee. If you intend to brush up on a new language, stick vocabulary cards into your gym bag and take advantage of that post-workout jolt of energy. Existing habits can be a seamless gateway to new activities.

3. Practice makes perfect

You’ll probably need a few nudges before your habit truly becomes second nature. Create checkpoints to help you stay on track: enlist a friend to keep you honest, set alarms throughout the day, or mark your successes on a calendar.

The more regularly you practice your new activity, the more quickly it’ll become a part of your life.

Limits and fears are just an illusion.

This video has to be one of the most greatest motivational videos I have ever seen.  The key point is if you want to become any thing in life, you can't be blaming other people for your problems, be inspired.

(transcript of the video posted below).

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.

It's a very mean and nasty place,

and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it.

You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.

But it ain't about how hard you hit.

It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.

How much you can take and keep moving forward.

That's how winning is done!

Pain is temporary.

It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or even a year,

but eventually it will subside

and something else will take its place.

If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

The margin for error is so small...

one-half a step too late or early, and you don't quite make it.

One half-second too slow, too fast, you don't quite catch it.

The inches we need are everywhere around us.

They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second.

You got a dream, you gotta protect it.

People can't do something themselves they wanna tell you you can't do it.

If you want something, go get it. Period.

Don't be afraid to fail.

You can’t always win, but don’t afraid of making decisions.

You have to believe that something different can happen.

He who says he can

And he who says he can’t are both usually right

Most of you said that you want to be successful, but you don’t want it bad.

You just kinda want it.

You don’t want it bad than you want to party.

You don’t want it as much as you want to be cool.

Most of you don’t want success as much as you want to sleep!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.

You have to dig deep down, dig deep down and ask yourselves,

Who do you want to be?

Figuring out for yourselves what makes you happy,

no matter how crazy it may sound to other people.

Make a choice.

Just decide,

what it’s gonna be, who you’re gonna be, how you are going to do it.

Just decide.

Why not?

Why can't I be MVP of the league?

Why can't I be the best player in the league?

I don’t see why. Why, why can't I do that?

What is it you said to the kid?

It ain't about how hard you hit.

It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward.

Get up.

Get up.

Get up and don't ever give up.

And we can stay here, get the shit kicked out of us...

or

we can fight our way back into the light.

We can climb out of hell...

...one inch at a time.

To be able at any moment

Sacrifice what you are for what you will become.

Most of you won't be successful because when you're studying, and you get tired, you quit.

‘I’m not good in math.’ That’s right, because you never study!

‘I’m no good in rhyme.’ Because you never write before!

Talent you have naturally.

Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft.

If you are not making someone else’s life better,

you’re wasting your time.

Don't cry to quit, cry to keep going.

Don’t cry to quits.

You already in pain, you already hurt. Get a reward from it.

If you know what you're worth, go and get what you're worth!

But you gotta be willing to take the hits,

and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him or her or anybody!

Cowards do that, and that ain't you!

You're better than that!

Every day is a new day.

Every moment is a new moment.

Now you've got to go out and show them that you're a new creature.

Now!

I'ma show you how great I am!

In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke, it’s written “the kingdom of God is within man”,

not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you!

You, the people, have the power,

the power to create machines,

the power to create happiness

You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful,

to make this life a wonderful adventure.

Now!

What are you gonna do?

Because limits like fears are often just an illusion.

Young people must have lots of dreams and goals that they must work hard for in order to attain and accomplish. This must drive them towards success. Everybody started young. And it is always nice to look back to realize how things and your attitude were far different at that point of your life.

Red Warning

As you last in the industry you are in, there are points in your life and career when you just want to pause and stop. You may even think of giving everything up for the main reason that you no longer want to move on doing the same things every day. This situation places a red signal warning on you. This is especially true if you are already getting bored with the same things that you do at work from the moment you enter the office in the morning until it is time for you to come home.

You can interchange the things that have become a routine for you. This way, your body will not feel the boredom of knowing what will happen next after you are done with your first task.

2. Redecorate your workstation. If you spend lots of your time at work at the cubicle with your PC and other things in front of you, you should make it your kingdom. What makes you happy? If you love your dogs, you can place funny pictures of your pets all around you. You can place flowers on your desk if this will make you feel light.

Stress relief - focus on the now

Focus on the Now

Thinking about the next ten items on your list of things to do is enough to cause anyone stress. That's why it's vital that you focus on only one thing at a time. 

Allowing only one task into your thoughts at a time - the one thing you are involved with right now - will improve your productivity, decrease mental mistakes, and relieve your mind of feeling overwhelmed as well as your body of feeling physically stressed out and drained.

Time Management Tips, How To Focus & Get More Done.

If you're like me, there never seems enough time in the day for all the things you want to do, I post this to remind myself, and hopefully help others.  Time management is an issue for me but these help.




Quick tip: If you have anxiety or are stressed out with all the tasks you need to complete try this:

1. Write down the things in your head you know you need to do, either on paper or on the computer. This will unload your mind from all the items you have been thinking about and it will give you a great idea of what you are dealing with.

2. Start with the first task and make sure you cross off each item as you complete it. This will relieve your mind of many stresses of our daily life and give you a sense of accomplishment as you see progress with your to do list.

3. Take action even as you add to the list and don't let it daunt you. Take things one step at a time.

Organizing your thoughts and making them real on paper give you the ability to assess the situation and take proper action to execute and to make progress in your daily tasks or in your professional life.
