They always greet a new day with a calm mind.
Too many books and courses on personal success seem to regard us as robots, completely ignoring the great power of human emotion. The calmer our mood at the beginning of the day, the easier it is to maintain a calm state of mind throughout the day. Because if we welcome a new day in a calm state, it is easy for us to stay focused and complete what we should do.
If we wake up in the morning and face overwhelming pressure - phone rings, e-mail and SMS beeps, fire alarms, etc. - you will be in a state of passive response all day. This means that when you want to do the priorities that drive you towards success, you can't take the initiative. You are just passively dealing with the things others have put on you, without considering whether these things are important or not.
Try not to change too much in the first hour of every day. Orderly morning planning can extremely effectively help you find a sense of self-control, so that you will not fall into a state of passive response, which can reduce tension and pressure, and make you more alert and able to do your work well. It is important to remember that the state in which you start your day has a great impact on your overall productivity.
They will push away all unnecessary and useless work.
Sometimes we all think, "why can't we get everything done?" The answer is actually very simple: we have done too many wrong things.
Many studies have found that people blindly take more time to solve all kinds of things, which makes it impossible for them to complete more work. On the contrary, if they measure and track key priorities and milestones according to a well-designed plan, they will be more efficient. So, if you want to be more successful and reduce stress, don't ask how to improve the efficiency of doing something. The first thing to ask is "do I really need to do this?"
Just because you can do something well doesn't mean it should be done by you. I think this is a common problem in most time management suggestions; Efficiency masters often only focus on how to get things done quickly, but in fact, most of the things that people quickly complete do not need to be done at all.
When you think about it, it's ironic. On the one hand, we complain about the lack of time. On the other hand, we seem to have too much time when we set priorities. So try to focus on what really matters and not be distracted by other trivia.
They will finish what they have to do within 24 hours!
Almost everyone talks about this problem, but successful people will put it into action. I once said, and now I want to say again: it doesn't matter whether you have a high IQ and a doctorate, because if you don't act, you can't change anything or make any progress in the real world. There is a huge difference between knowing and doing. Knowledge and wisdom are useless without action. It's that simple.
Successful people know that it is more valuable to implement a good enough plan today than to implement a perfect plan one day in the future. They do not wait for "the right time" or "the right date" or "the right (impossible) environment" because they know that these reactions are derived from fear. They will act immediately - because only in this way can they really make progress.
They will gradually turn the difficulties of life into advantages.
Many of the most famous novels, songs and inventions are inspired by bitter and sad memories. Therefore, don't lose heart in the face of many challenges, because they may become the catalyst for the birth of epic masterpieces.
An emerging field of psychology called "post-traumatic growth" believes that many people can use the hardships and trauma they have experienced to achieve substantial creativity and intellectual development. Researchers have found that trauma in particular helps people develop interpersonal relationships, satisfaction, gratitude, personal ability and adaptability.
We may regard the world as a safe place. Once this world view is broken, we will have to re-establish our view of the outside world. We suddenly have the opportunity to look at the outside world from a new perspective like newborns. This experience is conducive to personal growth and long-term success.
They constantly challenge their limits and stimulate themselves to learn.
You will learn more when you challenge your limits and get out of your comfort zone.
Of course, it is important to form good habits. "Flow" is equally important. But neither is the best way to learn. Sometimes you need to push your limits. This process will be hard and uncomfortable. But this is how the human brain grows. Only when we get out of the comfort zone can we get something.
When you struggle, it is when you become stronger and smarter. The longer you stay in an uncomfortable area, the faster you will learn. Ten minutes of high efficiency is better than an hour of mediocrity. In this state, you can improve your ability, constantly challenge your limits, make mistakes, fall, learn from mistakes, and then continue to challenge higher limits.
They trust their instincts when faced with difficult decisions.
Intuition is very real. All smart people should not ignore its role, because it comes from the depths of our subconscious and from your previous life experience. If everyone tells you "yes", but your intuition gives the opposite answer, there must be good reasons. When faced with difficult decisions, find out all the information you can get, let yourself know the situation as comprehensively as possible, and then let God give you intuition to make decisions.
Successful people know that to trust their intuition is to trust their true selves; The more you trust your true self, the better you can control the process of achieving your goals and dreams.
They always maintain a positive attitude.
Sean? In his book the happiness advantage, ekol wrote that a recent scientific study found that compared with doctors in neutral emotional state, doctors who adjusted their emotions to a positive state before diagnosis could always experience a significant improvement in their knowledge and ability, which reduced the time for making accurate diagnosis by about 20%. Researchers' subsequent research on other occupations found that optimistic salespeople outperformed pessimistic peers by 50%. The students who felt happy before the math test scored significantly higher than those who were in neutral mood. Therefore, it seems that our emotions will work best only in a positive state, rather than in a negative or neutral state.
Of course, this does not mean that successful people are never upset, but if you can carefully accept and release negative emotions instead of being trapped in them, you can significantly improve the efficiency in all aspects of life. Spend less time thinking about how to solve your problems and more time thinking about how to manage your mindset. Always keep a positive attitude.
They create intuitive reminders to keep themselves focused on long-term goals.
You want to lose weight, but when you're tired, it's easy to find a reasonable excuse to start exercising and dieting tomorrow. You want to build a profitable company, but when you fall into daily chores, you tend to do what you are familiar with, rather than what you need to do for the growth of the company. You want to improve your relationship with your family, but when you are busy, you can easily find reasons to say that you really need to solve the customer's proposal.
Good things don't come easily. When things get tough, we tend to take shortcuts - even if it leads us in the wrong direction.
To avoid this, successful people have made intuitive reminders to pull them back from the edge of impulsive lack of judgment. One of our friends paid off about $100000 in debt in the past five years. He stuck a credit card balance on the computer monitor; It can constantly remind itself of the debt that needs to be paid. Another friend posted a picture of himself 90 pounds fatter than he is now on the refrigerator to remind him that he can't be that kind of person again. Another man filled his desk with photos of his family. On the one hand, he liked to look through these photos from time to time. On the other hand, when the work became difficult, these photos could remind him who he was working hard for.
When are you most likely to succumb to your inner impulse and leave the path of achieving your ultimate goal? Find such moments, and then use visual reminders to interrupt this impulse, so that you can continue on the way to achieve your goals.
They can keep a diary.
Oprah keeps a diary. Ruffian Eminem keeps a diary. J? K? Rowling also keeps a diary.
Successful people track their progress, set goals, reflect on their mistakes and learn from them. They usually put this work in a notebook. In life, if you want to go somewhere, you need a map. This note is your map to success. You can record what you have done today, what you intend to achieve, what mistakes you have made, and so on. Here you can reflect on yourself, record important ideas, and track the goals you have achieved and plan to achieve. Keeping a diary is one of the most effective but underutilized tools for people.
They will find a mentor who will teach them by example and answer questions.
No matter what you want to achieve, you can't accomplish it by yourself. Learning from books is a difficult process. Sometimes the Internet makes it difficult to tell the truth from the lie. You need an elder to tell you some tricks - he can be your mentor or coach.
10000 hours of hard work can make you an expert, but what makes you devote 10000 hours to something? That is oneortwo excellent tutors. If you have studied the lives of sufficiently successful people, you will find that the best people in all fields - athletes, musicians, entrepreneurs, artists, etc. - have extraordinary mentors, coaches or role models, who make it valuable and meaningful to practice.
Sometimes, just observing a mentor can bring miracles. When we observe an example we want to learn from, we are very clear about what kind of person we want to be. At this time, you will burst into amazing enthusiasm. Human beings are naturally willing to socialize. When we want to join a superior elite circle, this idea will promote us to achieve great achievements. "Look, they did it. I can do it too!" Although this sounds too simple, taking time to study excellent people will be the most valuable thing you can do for yourself.
They welcome sincere feedback and criticism.
Aristotle said, "to avoid criticism, don't talk, don't do anything, don't accomplish anything." This is a joke. If you are criticized for speaking, doing, or thinking about something unusual, it is a good thing. This means that you have taken a stand on something at a recent moment. And this is an important part of success.
Follow in the footsteps of successful people and learn how to deal with criticism effectively. For malicious negative criticism, you should evaluate it after receiving it, and then put it behind you. For constructive opinions, you should take action after evaluation. Seek feedback from people you value - those who have experienced similar experiences with you. Remember to accept feedback in a friendly manner; In this way, people around you are more likely to provide you with sincere insights in the future.
They will remain humble.
Last but not least
Successful people dare to admit that they are wrong and apologize for it. They know they can't know everything. They are ambitious and admit that they owe their success to others. They will seek help when necessary.
Go through mistakes and failures and try again without discouragement. There is no permanent work or absolute truth in this world. We are all groping forward. Learn from everyone, be humble, and don't forget to enjoy the good time on the road.
