- Discipline: Nothing is worth achieving without self-discipline. The discipline of our minds and bodies will help formulate discipline of life. Practice it in small ways. Set goals and objectives daily and work with consistency to see those things through. Whether it’s waking up in the morning and arranging your bed, starting off your day with a modicum of self reflection and prayer or whether it’s devoting time for your family or self everyday – fit and schedule it in and keep at it.
- Gratitude: It might sound a little ridiculous, but I assure you it is not. Start your day with gratitude and being thankful for being alive, for what you have in life, the moments that have added value and joy to you. You begin your day’s journey on a positive note with appreciation in your heart.
- Self-control: Harder than it sounds and yet the key to your mental, psychological, and emotional wellbeing. Practice controlling the things you can and stop worrying about stuff that’s beyond your control. We spend a terrific percentage of our lives beating and bludgeoning ourselves over stuff we have no control over; future circumstances, what others think and feel about us, etc. Concentrate on controlling what you can and you’ll start to see a difference.
- Self-love: Perhaps one of the key aspects in life we neglect often is forgetting to value ourselves. Not in a conceited fashion but treasure your worth. Allow yourself some self-appreciation, that’s fine. In fact, to find a semblance of balance and to fortify yourself, first learn to respect and have some regard for yourself and those small achievements in life to inspire yourself to work relentlessly and purposefully.
