‘’We are what we repeatedly do’’
Habits are armatures that shape and sculpt us into being, they strongly influence and alter our lives. They are not just formed but mastered from consistent practice outlined in daily routines and activities.
A habit is a consistent practice; it is something that slips in unconsciously and in most cases, our habits sum our value. They are formed by the repetition of particular acts and strengthened by an increase in repeated acts.
You may think of yourself as a resilient individual but the true term is that you have a resilient habit of being optimistic and positive.
When we get into the habits of doing something repeatedly, it no longer takes efforts rather it slips in with ease and less consciousness.
The habits you develop and cultivate can improve or decrease the quality of your life and there is no influence like the influence our habits play in our lives.
I remember some months back I developed the habit of having dinner late at night because of my tight and busy schedule I could have dinner by 1 am, 2 am and sometimes 3 am this wasn’t doing any good to my body, instead I strained my sleep and caused my body to add up unhealthy and unnecessary amount of calories; this habit was so hard for me to eliminate because it was slipping into a part of my subconscious activity.
I’ll tell myself “I am too busy I can always have dinner right before bed” which was totally wrong. But with much effort, I was able to eliminate that habit and created a healthy one.
We are creatures of habits; the daily routines we develop and practice outline the quality of our lives, you can’t compare a man who indulges in healthy routines to a man who can’t even keep track of his routine there is a big difference in their lives from their momentum, health, mental state, assertiveness, stamina and so on.
Developing healthy and positive habits is a commendable boost to your life, you may be stuck on a tight rope of changing your habits for an epic life and may not know how to go about a defined change; you have nothing to worry about, habits are learned and can be unlearned by changing your attitude and adopting new and developmental routines.
The quest for an epic life involves developing and practicing healthy beneficial habits that I will be throwing more light on.
Routines are important and should be taken with more seriousness, for example, waking up early, drinking water in the morning, stretching parts of your body, meditating, journaling, positive declaration and so on.
Developing healthy routines and habits formulate a beneficial ladder of growth, so I want you to take these list into serious consideration if you haven’t been doing any one of them you should employ it into your daily routine.
You can’t practice everything at once but you can chop them into bits and try to practice. Remember that your health, wealth, happiness, fitness and success depends on your habits and as humans we are absolute creatures of habits which can influence us in a neutral-positive and negative manner.
Habits are circuits of life, directing us on positive or negative roads, so choose the habit you choose to adopt into your daily routine.
Below are 99 habits that you should cultivate and employ into your life to improve your life
