As you know, it takes 21 days to develop good habits. However, just 10 micro-habits can help change your everyday life for the better.

This is what the “Start something!” platform says.

Here are 10 simple and really important ideas, which everyone should pay attention to:

1. Learn to speak more “No“. Think about your time and learn to say no. Every day gives you many offers, but sometimes you have to say no. Decide on your priorities and discard the excess. Do not take on something that is not very pleasant just because your friends or colleagues suggest it.

2. Keep a diary. Even if you are not given to writing, this is not a reason to give up diaries. Try to write down everything that comes to mind: business plans, ideas and just thoughts to improve your life. This will stimulate your mind to search for something new. Besides, diaries help to get rid of stress.

3. Sit in silence. It may sound rather strange, but the average person has about 6,200 thoughts every day, that is, 258 thoughts every hour. To calm your mind, it is worth spending at least 5-10 minutes a day in silence. Meditation is ideal for this. At first it will be difficult to get rid of the thoughts, but eventually you will lose control of them and feel calm.

4. Don't react to everything.Most people react to things that cause them difficulties. But it is much better to take a step back, think it over and respond appropriately. For example, yelling at someone who yells at you – not a good idea. Therefore, it is better to think about your answer first.

5. Take Action. Mell Robbin, in his book The 5 Second Rule, talks about how to take action on things that take less than 5 minutes. Need to reply to an email? Do it. Have an amazing idea? Write it down.

6. Read a lot. Daily reading for an hour or at least 30 minutes will allow you to grow personally, professionally, and financially. If you can't read, you can choose audiobooks to your taste.

7. Watch your behavior. Don't blame yourself for having done this at some point. It is better to identify patterns, analyze the situation and understand how to act next time.

8. Stop complaining and start doing. In order to earn more, you don't need to enroll in courses. You have the internet and the equipment to do it at home. watch videos online, talk to experts and people in the fields that interest you. But don't just complain.

9. Drink plenty of water. Drink as much as you can, because people often forget about such a simple habit. You can start with a glass of water before each meal, whenever you feel hungry or tired. You'll be amazed at how you feel.

10. Start each day with the phrase “What can I do today to improve my life?< /strong>“. The answers will help you define actions, which will bring you closer to your goals. Small steps to big.
