Especially when we feel stuck with life and things are not quite working out, it’s time to notice and take some gentle action to move you in a new direction and into a new feeling state.
5 habits of successful people
- Success starts by a feeling. Feel successful first and then life catches up with the feeling. This is how manifesting works. The technique: remember a time you felt really successful or make up the feeling and begin here. Feeling successful, acting you would if you are already successful, dressing as successful and walking as successful – these are all necessary to align you into the successful version of you. Begin by powering up your feelings of success. Results will flow just by doing this and going there first with your feelings.
- A common habit of successful people is that they already know where it is they want to go. They have got clear with their intention setting. Get really clear about your objectives. Then visualise them with clarity, in colour, make them appear real and act as if this is in process to happen and make decisions accordingly. You have to know where you want to go, in order to be able to get there.
- Once you know what you want, take 2 or 3 steps towards putting you on the path to get there. Choose some steps that you could easily achieve that will move you one or two steps further towards your goal. Then tomorrow, take some more small steps. Before you know it, you will be in flow and on the way to getting your success faster than you imagine.
- Notice what is going well in life. Jot down some notes about it. Start focussing on things going well and you will find that this spreads like wildfire through your life. What’s going well for you today? Keep doing this and do more of it. Cut down the areas that are giving you pain or pulling you down. Is it time to curate your life with more positive intentions?
- Successful people care about their friends. They spend time nurturing their friends, noticing how they are spending their time and finding a good balance between work, rest and play. Playing more and feeling good, finding harmony and balance in life, is the new success.
