Drink Water
Drink lots of water every day.
Drink a glass as soon as you wake up to wash out the digested and to hydrate from 6-9 hours sleeping.
Stop drinking at 7pm. That way you won’t wake up as much at night, or at all !

Assume Good Intentions
Eight billion people on the planet. I assume most have good intentions. They want to work, make some money, pay for their survival and enjoy a little.
That is why the world is pretty peaceful. Especially when compared to thousands of years of history.
There will be people with bad intentions, of course. They will be like that for a short period (revenge, retribution, immediate survival), or, even fewer, will have evil intentions as their life-long philosophy.
Be mindful of those people and the moments others go briefly rogue. Generally though, most people are guided by good intentions.

Find The Win!
There is always a silver lining. Sometimes you have to search very hard for it. Other times it doesn’t feel that great, regarding the silver under the circumstances, but it is there. We can seek to get something out of every experience.
Sometimes it does take days, weeks or years to discover the win or accept it. But when you look, you’ll find the win. Look for one every day.

Don’t Cry Over Spilt Milk
An oldie but a goodie. Once the thing has happened, it’s done. Accept and move on. You can’t undo a car accident. So as long as it is only a fender bender, we need to take these in our stride.

Aim For Amazing
Complain less. Keep your mind focused on what amazing would look like. What do you want? Not what you will settle for.
This is hard for most people. People know what they don’t want or what they are fine with. But it often takes some serious inner work to figure out what you truly want. Not what you’re supposed to want, but really, actually want.
Stop complaining and focusing on past grievances. Bygones.
Keep your mind focused on the future and the amazing components of your amazing life. You get what you think about most of the time.
Think slim. Think wealthy. Think kindness.
There are lots of great things to think about. Think about those things and those things exclusively.

Repeating Yourself
Make the changes in your life quickly. Make them permanent in your mind so there are no ‘ooops’ moments and you do the things you promised yourself you wouldn’t.
There is no need to live the same year 16 years in a row. Change yourself or change your circumstances. But actually do it.

Push Boundaries
Push yourself to get through your own mental blocks. And nudge at other boundaries too.
Don’t take things too far. But do push.

Do. Review. Continue.
Success can be this continuous loop of doing things, reviewing where they got to and then continuing with them into the next step or stage.
That’s it.
For greater success, do more reviewing. This is what really makes the difference and shifts the needle.
We can usually get things moving due to excitement, drive or sheer enthusiasm. But then things seem to stall a little.
Anyone trying to achieve their New Year’s resolutions will recognise this as week 2 or 3 of January. This is where enthusiasm and excitement are fading. Some things are going well but without continuous review, the weeks blend into one another.
Then you might think you’re doing better or worse than you are. By continually reviewing where you are at, you can be clear on how well things are actually going. Much better that, than drifting along blissfully unaware and not making the changes you wanted.

Accountability
If you’re looking for someone or something to blame, start by looking in the mirror. You probably had something to do with it.
The sooner you can recognise that you often create the environment or situation that you’re complaining about, the sooner you can adjust your behaviour or attitude and improve the whole situation.
No need to act like an entitled, perfect, victim. You do things that irritate people and situations. Own up to it and make some basic adjustments.
Everyone can breathe easier after this and they will all get along much better going forward.
