How you do anything is how you do everything.
Discipline creates lifestyle
You need to take a high degree of accountability. Take action and create results even when you don’t feel like it
Who you spend your time with may be the single most determining factor of who we become. – Misery loves company.
Our levels of success will rarely exceed our level of personal development, because success is something we attract by who we become.
Improve how you wake up. Increase your Wake Up Motivational Level; – create a positive expectation for the next morning. The last thing you think about at night is often the first thing you think about when you wake up. – Move your alarm clock across the room so you can’t snooze it. – Brush your teeth and splash water in your face – Drink a glass of water – Get dressed or shower.
Daily, continuous improvement in the areas that matter the most
Silence – Start your morning with 5 minutes of purposeful silence > Meditation, reflection or deep breathing.
Affirmations – It’s the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. Once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen – Muhammad Ali Positive thinking – Make an impression on your sub-conscious mind -Think and grow rich (book) -Whether you think you can on you can’t, you’re right either way. Write down what you’re committed to doing to achieve your goals. Make use of inspirational quotes and philosophies. Anything you read influences your thoughts.
Visualization – An important technique used by many professional athletes etc. Visualize where you want to be or who you want to become and fix it in your mind.
Directly after reading your affirmations—where you took the
time to articulate and focus on your goals and who you need to be to
take your life to the next level—is the prime time to visualize
yourself living in alignment with your affirmations.
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.
Exercise – If you don’t make time for exercise, you’ll probably have to make time for illness. Start every day off with some sort of aerobic exercise.
Reading – A person who won’t read has no advantage over one who can’t read.
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body and prayer is to the soul. We become the books we read.
It is one of the most immediate methods for acquiring knowledge, ideas and strategies.
The key is to learn from the experts—those who have already done what you want to do. Don’t reinvent the wheel. The fastest way to achieve everything you want is to model successful people who have already achieved it. With an almost infinite amount of books available on every topic, there are no limits to the knowledge you can gain through daily reading.
Scribing – Ideas can come from anywhere and at any time. The problem with making mental notes is that the ink fades very rapidly.
Overcoming Procrastination: Do the Worst, First One of the most effective strategies for overcoming habitual procrastination and maximizing your productivity is to start working on your most important—or least enjoyable—tasks, first thing in the morning. In his bestselling book Eat That Frog, the legendary productivity expert Brian Tracy shows how getting things done in the morning leads to mental rewards that can take us to great heights in our lives. It is the idea that doing the hard task first (“frog eating”) and getting it out of the way creates momentum and makes the rest of the day more productive.
Successful people aren’t born that way. They become successful by establishing the habit of doing things unsuccessful people don’t like to do. The successful people don’t always like doing these things themselves; they just get on and do them.
