50 Short Proactive Habits That Lead to Huge Results
Life is like a piece of art in the making. Progress is the
goal
3 min read
Our unconscious and deliberate habits shape our lives. They
dictate how we spend our time.
Repeated over time, habits become our way of life. The more
you do something, the easier it becomes.
That’s why new habits are often framed as a set of tasks
that need to be repeated every day for weeks or months before they’re fully
cemented.
“Change might not be fast and it isn’t always easy. But with
time and effort, almost any habit can be reshaped,” Charles Duhigg said.
There are a few habits that have been proven to lead to
massive results in a few months. These habits seem simple on the surface, but
these minor changes can significantly impact your life.
1. To wake
up early every day, find a strong reason why.
2. Exercise
at least 3–5 times per week (20 minutes per session).
3. Spend
time outdoors every day. Brisk walking is good enough.
4. Read at
least a page of your favorite book every day.
5. “I never
dreamed about success, I worked for it.” — Estee Lauder.
6. Motivation
doesn’t work. Build better habits and routines instead.

notes when you read great books.

like a piece of art in the making. Progress is the goal.

11. “Every
moment is a fresh beginning.” — T.S. Eliot

calmer mind, be more present.

wisdom journal to note down lessons you come across.

your time every day like you manage your money.

you are, be completely there.

ours to be spent, not to be saved.” — D. H. Lawrence.

beliefs are not serving you, change them
