		Wake up

 

Wake Up When You Say You're Going To Wake Up

 Aside from the occasional "I'm going to sleep in until 11 AM on a Saturday because I'm visiting my parents' house and I'm sleeping in my old bed and I haven't slept in this long in forever," it behooves you to wake up early.

But more importantly, to wake up when you say you're going to wake up.

That means if you set the alarm for 6:30 AM, you get out of bed at 6:30 AM.

Starting your day with a broken promise is the same as getting out of bed on the wrong foot.

Keep your promise.

 

.Have A Clean Morning Routine (And Dress The Part)

 

There are very few things in life that can start your day off as well as a morning routine that has built-in triggers to get your head in the game.

Shower.

Do your hair.

But more importantly, choose clothes that force you to rise to the occasion.

 

.A Moment Of Mindfulness

 

In addition to the above, meditate.

Take 5 or 10 minutes and just sit in silence.

Listen to where you are.

This helps you understand if you're starting your day in a good place, or if you woke up frustrated, or if something is stressing you out, or if there's something you're really excited about-and from there, you will better understand yourself and how you can best approach the day to work with yourself as you currently are.

 

.Regular Meals

 

I am a bodybuilder so this rings a bit more true to me personally, but I think there is something to be said about having regular meal times with meals that are prepared and ready to go.

Eating is already habit, so the more you can prepare for that habit with healthy, pre-cooked choices, the more effective you will be at maintaining your health even with a busy schedule.

However with technology we have become accustomed to filling those little time periods with social media on our phones, watching videos on YouTube, etc.

Make those little moments count with the habit of learning, instead of just consuming.

 

.Free Time Means Free Time

 

This habit is for the workaholics and entrepreneurs out there like myself who forget that "free time" doesn't mean "freely working on more new projects."

Free time literally means free time.

Manage Your Money

A lot of stress and anxiety stems from finances.

Learn to work with money so that you can master money.

 

.Meet Someone New

 

I'm fortunate that I've learned this through my job, but meeting new people fuels so much inspiration that it is as worthwhile of a habit as anything else.

The more people you reach out to and meet, the more valuable you will become because of your network, but also the more inspired you will be to continue your own development.

Indulge and Explore

Part of life is pleasure.

Go outside your comfort zone and indulge a little, and with it, explore someone or something new.

 

 

Every night before bed, I take a moment to write in my journal.

But in general, getting 7-ish hours of sleep a night will do you good
