Get Intentional
Understand your intent. Be clear why you are allowing the things you are thinking, saying and doing.
What outcome do you want? Once you know that, it is easy to know what you need to do to achieve that outcome. Get intentional.

Be Precise
The more precise you are with words, timing and goals, the more likely you will get what you want.
When you are vague or generalise, you give up the precision and get what you get. People that can envision and clearly articulate a precise plan or concept, take control of the process and increase the likelihood of getting their desired outcome.
Do you order a drink (super vague), coffee (general), or a moca latte to go with 1 cube of sugar and a dash of whipped cream on top? If you wanted the latter but ordered the former and received a small mug of orangina with a cube of ice, would you be delighted? Probably not.
So start being more specific going forward from right now. Get very precise with your time, words, and goals and see how quickly your whole life starts to improve!
It takes some effort but it’s worth it.

Streamline
Streamline your days as much as you can. Have a time to get up and one time to go to bed. It doesn’t have to be 365 days per year but 6 -7 days a week on average.
Get a routine for waking up too. Alarm rings, sit up with your feet on the floor. Go to the gym or go have a shower. Then dress, eat and get on with the day you had planned the night before.
The fewer decisions you have to make each day, the better. You’ll have more energy. You’ll feel like you are achieving things. It’s simple. Go do it.

Remove And Limit
For the next 7 days, remove 5 things from your house each day. Find 5 things each day that do not bring you joy and get them out of the house. Take them to a charity shop, bin them or sell them online. Just get them out of the house in the next 7 days.
Be mindful that you don’t discard someone else’s favourite item. If it is not 100% yours, do ask the other person first to see if they are ok with letting it go.
Secondly, really limit what you bring in to the house. Leave it out front for recycling or in the trash bin if necessary. The less you bring into the house, the less you need to throw away later on.
If you do this every day for three months, you’ll have gotten rid of 450 items and your house will be nearly free of clutter and feel very cozy and calm.

No Distractions
Can you read a book for 45 minutes? Is it possible to do homework or study without getting distracted? Of course it is.
You may be out of practice, but you can retrain.

Change. Only If They Want.
People have an infinite capacity to change for the better and for the worse. However, people usually change only once they decide to. Hence the saying about the horse, the water, and drinking.
Most people will do anything but change, even if the path is clear and the outcome almost certain. They would rather not change and then wait until it becomes a disaster.
Don’t be that person. Make the tough, uncomfortable changes today.

Freedom Of Choice
We choose to do what makes us feel best. Sometimes we can go into self destruction mode because it makes us feel better. We decided we don’t deserve the great life we have so we try to ruin it. Strange. But true.
The thing is, we can change it all up in a minute. We could do great things each day. But then we can’t wallow in self pity.
Choose to do good things each day. Take care of yourself. Take care of your family and friends. Spend quality time with them rather then just throwing money at them.
Do some hard work on yourself and to help those around you. Stop pushing people away so you can say noone cares. Don’t be a black hole absorbing everyone’s energy. Radiate like the sun, and let your warm love envelope them and fill them with life energy.

Say No To Stay Sane
You want to help everyone but you won’t have enough time. Learn to say no so you can say yes to your own wishes and calm mental health.
Saying no is ok. It is fine. People will find another way.

Want Success More Than Comfort
It’s easy to be comfortable. You can quickly get stuck in a rut and every day loops by with no progress or specific joy.
But things can be different. If you really want to succeed at something, you can do it. You can shift from that spot of being comfortable, get a little uncomfortable, and continue through to success.
It’s hard at first but you will build momentum and eventually, in 3, 6 or 12 months, after consistent daily discipline and effort, you’ll become unstoppable. You will not recognise the old you.
It’s a very exciting transformation. Do it.
