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.

How Do You Spend Your Time?
Have you ever thought about it? Observe how you spend non-work time. Is it with family? Are you solo?
Reading, writing, watching movies, playing cards, tinkering and socialising are often cited as favourite pastimes.
Drill down into how you spend your time as it’s a useful barometer for life.

Do Right By Your Health
Be smart about your health. Fresh air, exercise and a good sleep programme are essential. Eliminate toxins and unhelpful things like smoking, nicotine, sugar and senseless carbs.
You can choose health or drift closer to chronic pain, diabetes and death every day. You choose with your actions. Each action, every day, brings you closer to ideal health or closer to pain, suffering and pill popping just to stay alive.
It’s your choice. Choose wisely.

Listen To Positive Messages
Prepare your day with positive message. Listen to great speeches, books, cassettes and programs. Feed your mind important philosophical messages.
Do not dump garbage into your head. Be selective.

Sometimes You Need A Day Off
It’s ok to have a complete nothing day. You don’t have to plan for it. You can simply have one. Maybe even two.
I wouldn’t go for three in a row though.
Enjoy.

Stay Future Focused
Keep focused on your short and long term plans. Have a positive picture of your life and of you celebrating your great achievements so you can keep a good mindset, especially when you are going through the mud.
Write out what your life will look like in 12 months and also 5 years. Note down what age you’ll be and what your health and fitness will be, your weight and / or trouser size, your finances (including debt levels and savings and investments), your relationships (partner, kids, parents, friends), where you live and how (lifestyle, spending budget) and finally how you’ll spend your waking hours.
Write it down on paper so you get a great picture of what life will be like so you can work towards living that great life!

What Brings You Calm?
Is there a place, smell, person, situation, level of savings or expertise or a holiday destination that brings you calm? Get a sense of what that is and make note of it. Be clear about it so you can get yourself into that calm state whenever you want to. Make it habit.
Even if it is not somewhere or something close by, you can take a photo of it and look at that photo. You’ll be able to replicate the effect to some degree and that will get stronger with practice and repetition.

Forward Thinking
Think forward and not backward. Accept what has happened in the past and think about how you would like to steer your life going forward.
Focus on what could be in the future and move toward that. Take one step at a time and press on.
A future vision of your life and the world should be almost entirely positive. As a vision, it doesn’t require any negative aspects. If you’re holding negative thoughts then you have the opportunity to change those in your mind.
Use forward thinking to take you forward, toward the life you want to be living.

Plan Well Ahead
Whether you’re going on a trip or getting together your thoughts on retirement in 30 years, plan well ahead.
It’s a good idea to think things through, write things down, organise a plan and then take action.
if you plan well ahead, you are more likely to achieve the goals and dreams that you have noted down.
