Count Your Footsteps
Count your footsteps when you walk. This will stop your distracting mental chatter. You will feel more
alert, better concentration, refreshed, internally quiet and
centered.
Maintain Idea Cards
Capture those inspirations and ideas through the day. Jot them on a set of ‘Idea Cards’. Consolidate them into
an Idea Book.
"Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original
dimensions. “ - Oliver Wendell Holmes
Master Power of Silence
When did you last spend 30 minutes in total silence and tranquility. Enjoy that moment when you sit quiet and experience silence for at ten minutes
each day. Reflect on your life, mission and what is important.
“It is the space between the bars that holds the cage. ”
– Zen master
Control Wandering Mind
Don’t let your mind float aimlessly like a paper in the wind. Keep it
focused. When doing a task, think of nothing else. When walking to work, count the steps that it takes. This is not easy but soon you will hold its reins and not vice versa.
“When a mind is reigned still like a candle flame in corner there is no
draft, Impossible is nothing.” - Anonymous
Visualize Success Each Day
For 30-60 minutes each morning meditate and visualize your day. Read inspirational texts, literature or listen to motivational prodcast. Watch the Sun rise, at least once a
week.
Stay Course, on Purpose
Stay your course, on purpose, not outcomes. Do a task because it is
what you love to do. Do something because it helps someone. Money
or recognition will follow as natural outcomes.
Sleep 1 Hour Less
Usually 6 hours are enough to maintain an good health. Quality of sleep is important, not quantity. Get up an hour earlier for 21 days and make it a powerful habit. 30 extra hours a month are for things that
are important to you.
Don’t Dissipate Energy
Each day, ask yourself this question - “is this the best use of my time and
energy?” Guard your time and energy with great care. They
deserve it. You owe it to yourself.
“Do not allow things that matter the most in your life be at the mercy of
things that matter the least. ” - Goethe
Flex Your Will Power
Your will power is like a muscle. Exercise and push it to make it stronger. When hungry, wait
another hour for that meal. Push another hour when working on a
difficult task. Control that urge when your mind prompts you to pick up the tabloid or log on to
facebook or switch that television channel.
“Curbing an impulse is short-term pain that permanently molds your character in most positive ways”
