10 Small Things I Do Every Night To Improve My Life
Success is holistic. You don’t leave a lot
of things to chance. Instead, you constantly look for areas to improve in your
life and get better. One of these areas is how you prepare for your day the
night before. Improving your mental attitude and energy level the night before
gets your morning started on a high. I have been able to do these things
and greatly improve my life.
1. Read
Reading something
beneficial before bed improves retention. Whether it is a quality book of fiction
or non-fiction, I make sure I energize my brain and keep it fueled with a
passion for learning. I want to get the best out of one of the most vital
organs of my body, so I take reading before going to bed pretty seriously. By
reading, I have become more informed and more alert the next day. Plus, reading
a book eases me into a decent nice sleep.
2. Write
Writing sort of heals my soul. Every post I
write has to be done right. I understand that keeping a consistent schedule
with my writing makes me a better writer. I write every night to keep the flame
of writing burning.
3. Reflect on the day
At night, I finally have the time to score
myself on my activities for the day. Did I do great? Where are my lapses? No
matter how the day went, I focus on the good and dump the negatives. I keep a
journal of appreciation to know what good I have benefited through the day. This
reminds me of the many positives in my life whenever I am going through a
challenging period.
4. Plan
What is the next day going to be like?
What do I need to accomplish and get going? There is always more to be done.
Sometimes writing a to-do-list helps me get organized and prepared for the next
day’s activity.
5. Appreciate the loved
ones in my life
I appreciate those persons who are closest
to me — my family. I tend to take time out to listen and find out what is going
on in their lives. Doing this has helped me to stay balanced with my work and
personal life.
6. Eat
healthy
I know to achieve optimum performance I
have to eat healthy and maintain a pretty decent diet. I drink lots of water,
as well as take in lots of vitamins and proteins to get me energized for the
following day.
7. Disconnect from work
I tend to stop everything that has to do
with work right before I go to bed. I disconnect. No more emails or things that
challenge me mentally or get me anxious for the next day. By disconnecting, I
can spend time and appreciate my space better.
8. Picture the success of
tomorrow
I try to visualize and keep a mental
picture of what my tomorrow will be like. I try to be positive and have a
picture that paints optimism, success, and purpose. Visually peering into your
next day’s success gives the right mental flow to push in for success.
9. Relax
Relaxation could mean listening to
my favorite music or engaging in an interesting conversation with my
significant other. By relaxing, I can calm my nerves and excite my brain with
something humorous and fun. Who doesn’t need to relax before ending the night?
10. Go to bed early
Many successful people do this. Going to
bed early will certainly get your day started early. It also makes you happier and less inclined
to worry or get consumed by negative thoughts. After all is said and done,
you need a full night’s rest to attain better performance. By going to bed
early I have been able to do wonders for my stress level, productivity,
performance, and my mood. I also have myself programmed for attacking the next
day’s activity early.
