“It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.” Leonardo Da Vinci
“If you want to make an easy job seem mighty hard, just keep putting off doing it.” Olin Miller
10 years ago I was a big slacker. I procrastinated most of the time and had very few helpful habits for when I actually did some work.
These days things are a different. I usually get more done in a day than I used to get done in a week back then.
So today I would like to share 23 habits that have helped me – and still help me – to make such a big shift in my own life over the past years.
“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.” Marcus Aurelius
One of things we may often take for granted in life is the simple act of breathing.
Sure, we know that without it we would not live.
But it is one of those things that happen unconsciously, automatically as we go about our lives. That’s all that’s to it.
This is at least what I used to think. But I have in the past 8 years learned that by consciously breathing when needed I can in the long run reap big, big benefits from extremely little effort.
“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” Maria Robinson
Nothing is more important than how you feel and think about yourself.
A high opinion about yourself and who you are and what you do and basically a love for yourself is also one of the things that people often miss or have too little of in today’s society.
I read about it in newspapers every month.
I see it every week based on how many of my readers that join my Self-Esteem Course. It is – close to 2 years after I launched it – still my most popular course.
I see it in my inbox almost every day as people share their challenges with me.
But why is building and being able to maintain high self-esteem so important?
