12 INSANELY Effective Daily Habits That Changed My Life
It is time to focus on yourself, be kinder, happier, and the best version of yourself,
and enjoy your life because you deserve to have it all, but how are you going to do that?
Changing your wardrobe or getting a popular BFF will not change your life, obviously;
We are out of college and got bigger issues.
The secret of your success is in your daily routine, says John Maxwell, and he could not
be more accurate.
In today’s video, we will share with you the 12 easy and effective daily habits that
can change your life for good.
Each of them I have seen personally alters the trajectory of my life.
#1. Make your bed Can making a bed do more than just tidying
up your room and making your parents proud?
According to William H. McRaven's theory, by making your bed in the morning, you have
accomplished the first task of the day, which gives you a small sense of pride and encourage
you to do another task and another and another.
Also, you spend most of your time in the bedroom.
The appearance of your room affects your mood and lowers your stress.
Pretty impressive, right?
So take a minute or two to pull the sheets and comforter and get ready for a productive
day.
#2.
Read more I know it is hard to do anything else in your
free time when you can just watch your favorite season, but reading is not only enjoyable,
It is good for you.
It allows you to go inside the mind of great writers and gain an understanding of new concepts.
It improves your focus, which results in better work performance and helps you achieve great
results in life.
Plus, A study published in the Journal of American College Health shows that it is a
great way to reduce stress and cope with mental health problems.
#3.
Get more sleep Having a good sleep routine is as important
as eating a healthy diet or exercising.
A study published in the Cureus Journal of Medical Science shows that individuals who
get adequate sleep show fewer emotional outbursts and less aggressive behavior.
Also, it keeps you healthy, boosts your immune system, and sharpens your mind, allowing you
to function at your full capacity.
So try prioritizing the quantity and quality of sleep you are getting and see how things
change.
To promote healthy sleep, keep electronics out of your bedroom, invest in a comfortable
mattress and pillows, and maintain a consistent sleep-wake cycle.
#4.
Take a break from social media You just finished one task and need a little
break before moving to the next; what will you do?
Most of us will quickly scroll through Instagram, check Snapchat, or watch refreshing TikTok,
which is not good emotionally, mentally, or even physically.
It causes anxiety, exhaustion, and fatigue.
Instead, get up, move your body maybe do some jumping jacks, yoga or stretches.
This will energize your body and helps you to focus better for the rest of the day.
#5.
Eat more leafy greens All of us, yes, including you!
Need to add leafy greens to your regular diet.
It makes you feel better about yourself, helps in weight management, and reduces the risk
of various diseases.
Stop focusing on cutting out food groups or limiting what you can or cannot eat, as it
leads to binge eating or unhealthy relationships with food.
Instead, focus on adding leafy greens at least two meals a day.
You can add vegetables to your morning smoothie, to an omelet, pasta sauce, or eat a salad
with every meal.
So get over your green avoiding excuses and give your body all the essential nutrients
it requires to function properly.
#6.
Say “no” when you mean no No is just a two-letter word and yet, saying
it can feel really hard and complicated.
Many of us struggle to say no because of fear of rejection, anger, or uncertainty about
what the other person's response will be.
Well, the good news is saying no is a skill that you can sharpen.
The more you say it, the more easy and natural it will feel.
Value your time, know your priorities, and make yourself understand that you do not have
to please everyone.
And once you learn to say no, you can spend time doing things that really matter to you
and be more productive.
We've made it halfway through our list, and we sincerely hope you've enjoyed it so far.

#7.
Spend quality time with loved ones Humans are social beings.
They cannot survive on their own and need to communicate with people for fun.
Also, it is good for mental health.
A study published in the journal Scientific Reports shows that face-to-face interaction
with loved ones decreases depressive symptoms.
Schedule daily walks or plan for monthly trips, whatever suits you, but make sure you spend
quality time and are not busy on your phone or watching TV.
#8.
Exercise Exercise helps you live better by improving
your health, keeping you in good shape, and decreasing the risk of future illnesses.
It has a positive impact on depression and anxiety and boosts your overall mood.
Also, it increases your self-confidence and makes you feel alive.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every adult should do 150
minutes of moderate physical activity such as brisk walking and 2 days of muscle-strengthening
activity.
So move more and sit less, and soon you will see a positive change in your overall personality.
#9.
Mindfully Manage Your Money Money can buy happiness if you use it right,
and I am not talking about that brief spurt of happiness that eventually goes away.
Spend your money on things that really matter, buy yourself time, and spend on experiences
rather than possessions.
Also, invest in yourself, get a gym membership, purchase that online course or open a savings
account.
This will give you a sense of accomplishment and joy that exist forever in your memories.
#10.
Give yourself deadlines When you have a deadline to complete your
college assignment or project at work, you find a way to get it done.
What makes them different from your personal goals is you do not have any deadline, so
there is no motivation to get the work done.
Give yourself a specific and realistic deadline and still, if you have trouble sticking to
your goals because you know deadlines are flexible, tell them to your friend or any
family member or announce the release date.
This will surely make you stick to your deadlines
#11.
Say thank you instead of I'm sorry Saying sorry is a good thing, but if you find
yourself constantly apologizing, even when there is no need to, it should be stopped.
It is time to start saying thank you instead of sorry, and you will notice becoming more
confident, mainly because you stop appeasing people all the time.
And this also improves your self-worth.
It is a small thing but goes a long way, improving your perspective and making the world a better
place for you.
#12.
Tidy up your space before bed A clean and tidy bedroom contributes to a
happy and healthy lifestyle.
It brings happiness and organization to your life and can totally change how your day goes.
A study published in the Journal of Neuroscience shows that our brain likes order.
You may think you are not bothered by the messy environment, but the constant visual
reminders of disorganization reduce your ability to focus and decrease your productivity.
So listen to your mom and go tidy up your room.
Believe me, you will feel better instantly.
No doubt, it is difficult to form a habit.
Give yourself time and do not put too much pressure on yourself.
Sometimes things slide a little, and that is ok.
You are making lifestyle changes; it is not about perfection but doing what you can.
These micro habits may not appear that important, they may even seem insignificant, but you
will be surprised just how much they will pay off with a bit of time, patience, and
dedication.
