1. Early bird – humans are
designed to wake up with the sun and retreat into rest as the sun sets. It is
not that there aren't successful night owls but most of histories renowned
names starting from Mozart to Ernest Hemingway started their daily routine by
saluting the sun. It is said that the time line between 10 pm to 2 am is one of
the most crucial times for us to be asleep as the most amount of human growth
hormones are released during those hours.
2. Positive rituals – mastery and
greatness is seldom created through good luck. It is perfected through
commitment, discipline and routine. Beethoven was known to compose music
religiously for 8 hours each day & basketball legend Michael Jordan is
known for practicing his craft for 6 hours every day. It is said that it takes
66 days for humans to adopt a new habit. So If you start today, two months from
now, going to gym or waking up early would become as natural as brushing your
teeth.
3. Exercise – this is a no-brainer,
but as simple as it is, this is something that most people tend to look past. A
balanced healthy body amplifies the flow of our creative juices, our thinking
processes become more dynamic and our minds become clear and alert.
4. Harness – your energy levels
will have a big say in your level of productivity. So discover what activity
brings the most amount of energy into your life and practice it religiously.
This could vary from meditation, vigorous exercise, chanting mantras, sun
gazing, yoga, pranayama (breath work) or to simply going for a long walk in
nature.
5. Eat light- our digestive system
takes up most of our energy conserves, yet we stuff our faces, feel sluggish
and wonder why we don’t have energy. Take steps to plan out your meals, eat
light high nutritional food that would keep the energy levels high and help you
maintain high quality performance though out the day.
6. Finding inspiration – One lesson
I've learnt after quitting many jobs and finally pursuing my path has a
Holistic healer and mentor is that when you follow through your highest
excitement and passion, work is never “work” again. It is the fire within you
that wakes you up at 5 am and makes you want to leap out of bed coz you just
can’t wait to do what you do. But if you are still not in that position,
inspiration can come in a form as simple as a YouTube clip to remind you of
your true greatness. It is up to you to stay
inspired.
7. Write it down/organize – having
a clear view of what you expect to achieve within your day will help you focus
your energy in the most efficient way possible as you would know where to
direct your attention. Write down your goals, prioritize and follow through.
8. Momentum – always move forward with
action regardless of how big or
small your steps are. All that matters is that you maintain momentum and keep
moving in the direction of you goals.
9. Visualize Vocalize – speak about
your dreams and aspirations. Surround yourself with pictures of what you want
your future to look like. Hearing it and seeing it will reprogram your brain to
tune in to the life of your dreams and by simply embodying it in the NOW will help you exude the frequency
necessary to attract it into your life.
10. Power of influence - Surround
yourself with driven, high performance individuals. It’s said that you become
like the five people you spend most time with, so pick wisely.
