Life is a learning process with a number of experiences, both negative and positive, that people encounter in their day-to-day activities. People develop some habits which might transform them positively or negatively.
Positive habits have the power to change lives and help people achieve the best results in their lives if they are made consistent and objective.
Ahmed Ali Khan, a certified Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Manager, who has been handling analytical thinking and innovative ideas and solutions for professional challenges, has drafted 5 habits which he explains that will magically transform your life.
1. Invest your time instead of wasting it.
Substitute doom-scrolling on TikTok or Instagram with learning a skill or reading a book. Don’t waste your time, invest it. A few months later, you will be grateful you did so.
2. 10k steps, every single day
Regularize taking pointless long walks without your phone. Detox your brain. Deprive it of cheap dopamine hits
3. Seek discomfort
The Comfort zone will ruin your life. Constantly doing hard things every single day will train your brain for the tough shit to come up in the future. This can be anything: writing, reading, taking a hike, etc. Do things you hate every single day. The things that people find difficult or distasteful to do have unique results from those who persevere and do them.
4. Be grateful for where you are
Always remember: whatever shit you’re going through, someone else is having it way worse. Be grateful for the present.
5. Focus on the brick, not the wall
Focus on your next step, not the result. Break down your goals into small, actionable steps, and take them one step at a time. It’s easier to keep going if it’s simple and actionable. Focus on the process, not the outcome. Because the only action is in your hand, not the outcome so, just do your part properly.
