hey guys! we all want to have a successful 2018 and in order to do that we need to focus on the small things we can do to result in big change; here are 20 good habits you can employ to have a successful 2018:
write daily: this keeps your writing skills sharp and your mind clear.
eat vegetable daily: its good fibre and most people don’t eat enough
wash your produce: seriously, don’t skimp on this step,
wipe after you pee: again, don’t skimp, it reduce the risk of infection.
tech free mornings: curb your technological addiction and start your mornings by being present
accept compliments gracefully: don’t deflect, absorb the good things people say about you.
do light cardio everyday: no zero days! if you’re not working out you should at least be walking around and getting that heart pumping.
read non fiction: it will enrich your mind and it might be more challenging than reading fiction but its so worth it, trust me.
talk to your teachers: having good relationships with your teachers is super important.
save a fixed amount daily: it could be just a dollar, but making sure that your saving a fixed amount and watch it grow.
wake up before 10 am everyday: this is for the days when you don’t have to wake up early, you wanna still make sure you’re not sleeping till noon and messing up your sleep pattern.
read one book per month: find joy in reading and make it a habit to read stories that interest you.
spend at least half an hour outside daily: don’t waste away inside. Even if you have nothing to do outside make sure your outside for at least half an hour a day, it will help regulate your mood among other things.
plan your days the night before: planing the night before allows you to be more focused when planning.
change your undies more times than you shower: this might sound like an odd one but seeing as how most people usually shower once per day or every other and you should be changing your undies more than once per day.
do a social media edit every month: you want to be doing checks and balances to make sure your social media is up to par. in order to have a healthy relationship with these platforms, you need to re-evalute how much time you send on a site and who you follow on a site monthly.
read an article a day: an article a day keeps the ignorance away! if you wanna be informed but not feel like you’re always ingesting news, set a limit on how many articles your read per day and pic the most important ones to read.
do a mattress deep clean every season: yes your mattress should be cleaned! try to disinfect and vacuum your matters every season and if you can put it out in the sun!
have a gratitude day every month: take a lazy Sunday every month to do a check-in with the ones you love. Tell them how much they mean to you and if you can send them a nice text or gift.
Challenge yourself monthly: to stop monotony in its tracks, set little challenges for yourself every month e.g. learn chess October or take singing classes March.
