Simple steps to bigger goals
Sleep less. This is one of the most important contributions that you can make to make your life more productive and worthy. Most people need no more than 6 hours of sleep to maintain an excellent health status. Try to get up just an hour earlier for 21 days, and this will turn into a strong and powerful habit. Remember that it's not the quantity, but the quality of sleep that's important. And now imagine that you have an additional 30 hours a month for much more important things for you.
Every morning, allocate for yourself one hour to think about personal development issues. Mentally and visually imagine the coming day, listen to music records that motivate you, or read something from classical literature. Use this period of tranquility to raise and revive your spirit for the coming productive day.
Do not let those things that are most important for you remain in the shadow of those things that are not so important. Every day, take the time to test yourself: "Was this the best use of my time and my energy?". Time management is the management of life, so manage your time as best as possible.
You can use a piece of gum as a training tool for your mind, which makes it focus only on the positive thoughts and elements of your life. Put on the elastic band on your wrist. Whenever a negative or a weak thought tries to penetrate your brain, click your wrist with an elastic band. Due to efforts during training, your brain will associate pain with negative thinking and you will soon develop a strong positive mindset.
Always answer the phone with enthusiasm in your voice and immediately show your respect for the caller. Good manners are very important. In order for your confidence to transfer through the telephone line, stand up. This will give your voice even more strength and persuasiveness.
Throughout the day, any of us sometimes find inspiration and brilliant ideas. You should always have at hand a stack of small cards (you can even the size of a business card, such cards are sold in any office store) and a pen to immediately fix the essence of insight. When you get home, copy the ideas into a convenient place, such as a notebook, to reread them from time to time. As Oliver Wendell Holmes noted: "The brain of a man, stretched by a new idea, does not shrink to its former size."
Every Sunday night devote yourself and make it your constant habit. Plan carefully for your upcoming week, visualize all your meetings visually and what you want to achieve, read new materials and inspirational books, listen to quiet, soothing music and just relax.
Always remember the important rule that the quality of your life is the quality of your communication. It is important not only how you communicate with others. More importantly, how you communicate with yourself. On what you concentrate, you will receive. If you are looking for a positive result, it will be so. This is the fundamental law of nature.
Focus on the goal, not on the results. In other words, do the work for the reason that you like it, or because it will help someone or give a useful experience. Do not do anything for money or for recognition. They will come by themselves. This is how the world works.
Every morning, laugh for five minutes before the mirror. Steve Martin does just that. Laughter launches many useful chemical reactions in our body that lead us into a beautiful and joyful state. Laughter also brings the body into a state of equilibrium.
