Little things you can do to upgrade your life
Speak slowly and donât use slang, incorporate new vocabulary.
Think before you speak. Is that TMI? Is that negative? Words are powerful, use them wisely
When someone gives you a compliment, always accept it with a âthank youâ even if you disagree
Drink a cup of warm water when you wake. It has the same effect as lemon water but itâs better for your teeth
Aim to drink 2L of water a day.
If you drink 30 min before your meal you will eat less. Donât drink any liquids while you eat or until 30 min after your meal, itâs better for your digestion
Want a flat stomach? Donât eat anything 4 hours before bed and only eat the size of your fist in carbs per day
Practice mindfulness, notice when your mind wanders and bring your attention back to the present
Meditate 5 min every morning or in bed at night
Charge your phone in the living room at night so youâre not tempted to look at it before bed or first thing in the morning. Plus, youâll have to get up to turn the alarm off so you wonât snooze
Make your bed every morning
Clutter is mentally toxic, keep only what you need and keep it tidy
Aim to only clean your home for 5 minutes a day. Youâll probably end up doing more. This trick works for anything you donât want to do
When shopping, donât buy things the same day. If you still want them after a few days, go back
Always do your best. Always
Forget motivation. Count from 5 to 1 if you need to do something you donât want to. It tricks your brain. You can also focus on how youâll feel once youâve completed the task instead of thinking of the task itself.
Buy fresh flowers for your home.
Pamper yourself. You can do it yourself at home
Get massages. You can get Groupons
Always have manicured nails and toes. SĂšche Vite top coat is a must!
Buy nice pyjamas and lounge wear. Look good for yourself.
Listen to classical music when you study and when you clean your home
Listen to music when you drive. While others will be road raging, youâll be too busy vibing to notice
Use the 50/30/20 rule for your finances. 50% on living expenses, 30% on entertainment and shopping and 20% in savings
Take advantage of banks offering money to open new accounts
Have an emergency fund: 3-6 months worth of living expenses in a high interest savings account
Celebrate every time you get money whether itâs in interest, pay checks or even money you find on the floor. You can just do a little dance. Youâll attract more wealth.
Leave money around your house. It will be a reminder that money is abundant.
Watch only 1h of TV a day and no reality TV
Donât read gossip magazines/blogs.
Get a library card and read at least one book a month.
Cut out toxic people. If you canât, try not to be around them as much
Socialize with loved ones a bit everyday even if itâs just a phone call. Itâs good for morale
Treat everyone with respect. If someone disrespects you, know that itâs got nothing to do with you and everything to do with them and donât get caught up in it, keep your composure, youâre better than that
Take up a hobby or two, youâll be a more interesting, well-rounded person
Try only changing one thing at a time. 3 months of consistency doesnât mean youâre out of the woods, but itâs the foundation. Donât be too hard on yourself when you stray. Habits youâve had for 20-30-40 years will not be easy to change. Baby steps ;)
