10 Daily Habits of Successful People
In the words of Kim Kardashian, “get your fucking ass up and work”…she was a bit harsh when she said this but the general idea is solid. To be successful takes work, work on your income sources and work on yourself. There are 10 essential habits EVERY successful person has because success is a mindset. In this post, learn about 10 POWERFUL habits of successful people so you too can achieve your life goals and desires!
What is Success?
Success is when you achieve your life’s goals, dreams, and ambitions. Success is when you’re genuinely and fully living your best life according to YOU. For some this means achieving financial abundance, for others, it means achieving enlightenment, and for many, success means achieving both. No matter how you define success, these 10 habits will help you get there!
Follow Routines
Successful people like to stick to routines – specifically, morning and night routines. I know some of you are rolling your eyes but hear me out. The way you start the day directly impacts the trajectory of your day…the way you end the day affects your sleep which trickles into the next day – and so the cycle begins.
Having a solid morning and night routine that works for you (the key word there is YOU) is essential to having an overall successful life. If you want to get anything done throughout the day, you have to be balanced and focused; the best way to remain in that mindset is to start and end the day on a good note.
Challenge Yourself
The number one thing that stops people from achieving their goals and dreams is the fear of failing. The fear of failing is simply being scared of something hard and/or unknown. Do you think people who became successful let the fear stop them?… HELL NO! People who are successful are NOT scared to do things that challenge their skills and abilities; if they were, they wouldn’t be successful. For example, learn a trade, skill, or subject that is the complete opposite of your current field; or make it a goal to double your income for the following month. Challenge yourself on a daily basis and every day step up the challenge even more!
Expand Your Knowledge
People who are successful never stop learning! They have a thirst for knowledge and quench it. Talk to any successful person and ask them what they are currently learning about…I guarantee they are learning something, even if it is as simple as different ways to tie a rope. It doesn’t matter what you learn just as long as you fill your brain with as much knowledge as you can. There are always new thoughts, ideas, and facts coming around so you should ALWAYS be able to learn something new. The point is to keep your mind working so that you remain sharp….and who knows, maybe that random subject you learn will come in handy later on.
Try New Things
There are always new experiences, cuisines, style choices, etc popping up so take advantage of it! Don’t ever get too comfortable in your way of being – it is okay and encouraged to get out of your comfort zone. You can never be and stay successful if you don’t evolve! Don’t be scared to push your boundaries as that is the only way you will ever succeed in life. No one who is successful got that way without taking risks – BIG risks. Push yourself in all areas of your life personal, professional, spiritual, and emotional.
Stay Organized
Successful people are always organized because they need to stay on point at all times and that can’t happen if their brain is a mess. Usually, people who are successful dabble in more than one thing so keeping everything straight and having a daily to-do list is essential.
If you don’t know where to start, try doing a brain dump by listing all the things you need or want to do then organize them into categories. At the beginning of every week, spread out your to-dos for each day so that you don’t overload yourself while ensuring you get shit done.
Read
Yes, sit down and read…one book a month should be your goal! This book can be anything because it doesn’t matter as long as you actually read it. This is another brain exercise that keeps you sharp, stimulates imagination, and reduces stress. Reading is a way to keep your mind active while slowing down outside thoughts because you’re focused on the book instead of everything else that goes on in your mind. Successful people are always reading at least one book at a time as it becomes their leisure, inspiration, and hobby.
Take Care of Your Body
Successful people are usually healthy…now when I say healthy I mean they are healthy in the sense that their mind and body are energized and focused. The best way to keep a healthy mind and body is by a balanced diet and regular exercise. Think of it this way, if your mind is not sharp and your body is fatigued, how can you possibly do all the things you need to?…that’s right you can’t! When you eat like shit and physically feel like shit, you can’t expect to get very far because at that point all you want to do is the bare minimum…that is NOT a success mindset!
Being healthy isn’t as hard as you think. All it takes is a balanced diet and 30 minutes of exercise every day…that’s it! Go out for a 30-minute walk first thing in the morning – you get exercise, sun, and fresh air all in one go. You can still indulge just keep it limited – balance is the key here!
Love Yourself
I know this is cliche but in order to be successful, you MUST love yourself! You have to want to be and do better for YOU, no one else. The life that you’re building is for you and what you choose to do with your life correlates with how you feel about yourself. You have to love yourself enough so that YOU are your motivation to keep going and build something beautiful. CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON SELF-LOVE!
Positive Mindset
Positivity is another major key to a successful life! This goes back to the law of attraction – remember, like attracts like so in order to manifest your desires, you must have a positive mindset and a can-do attitude. Never look at anything as a setback, instead, look at things as another door will open and something even better will come along. Negativity will NOT get you far and it definitely won’t get you the success you are striving for! CLICK FOR MORE ON THE LAW OF ATTRACTION!
Practice Gratitude
Gratitude is also linked to the law of attraction because gratitude is the MOST positive feeling you could ever experience! The universe doesn’t understand words, it understands feelings. When you think positive thoughts and practice creative visualization you create the energy flow of positivity, wholeness, and love which the universe deciphers and delivers. When you feel genuine gratitude for the blessings you already have, the universe feeds on that momentum to give you more to be grateful for. CLICK FOR MORE ON GRATITUDE!
Final Thoughts
Success is a mindset, PERIODT! If your mindset is not in alignment with success then you can’t expect success to manifest. Trust the universe and trust yourself – as long as you show up as the person you WANT to be and put the work in, success has no choice but to come to you.
