How can you improve in just 7 days

  • Throw out your TV - Let’s be honest here, do you actually feel relaxed after watching TV? Or is it merely a distraction from the stress? You could use that time so much better by just taking a walk, napping or letting a bath in. Just throw the TV out. It’s not helpful.
  • Start scheduling your day - Scheduling your time often seems like it imprisons us to a calendar, when in fact it is just a way to get more disciplined about what you want to do. Your calendar does NOT have to be unpleasant!
  • Wake up early - Get up at 4 a.m. and beat the sun up to the morning! The feeling of getting stuff done before people even wake up makes your entire day feel more empowered!
  • Meditate - Sit still for 2 hours every day for 7 days. You will get to know more about yourself in those 7 days than you have for the majority of your life, because you will actually spend the time to listen.
  • Make a Plan - What do you want out of your future? Why? Once you figure this out make the most effective plan to get there. What do you NEED to do to succeed?
  • Love yourself - Speak kindly to yourself and stop the self-loathing and self-hate. Since you spend 24 hours a day with yourself, you better make sure that you are your own best support and ally, instead of your own worst enemy and hater.
  • Track your habits - I don’t care how disciplined you are, you will miss a ton of value by not tracking and checking your habits off every day. Keep your eyes on what matters and make them work for you!
  • Say “NO” more often - Give a clear, loud, undeniable NO to the things you do not want to and do not have to do. Spend less time doing things you hate and delegate those things if you can.
  • Say “YES” more often - On the other hand, say YES to the things that scare you, make you uncomfortable, the things that excite you and the ones that seem like fun. Step out of your comfort zone and explore the world a bit; you’d be surprised at how much you’ve missed so far!
  • Write down 3 Things you are proud of for that day - We focus so much on all the negatives that it’s no wonder we feel like our lives are crap, but it doesn’t mean that only negative things exist. All you have to do is shift your focus to see the brighter side of life. It’s right there next to you!
  • Humor yourself with Life - Just like in a roller coaster ride, you can hold on to your seat for life and death, or you can throw your hands up in the air and laugh loudly! Life only needs to be as serious as you make it.

How reading can help you succeed in life.

He makes time for it. Buffet once gave students in an investing class at Columbia University the following advice: "Read 500 pages like this every day," Buffett said to the students, while reaching toward a stack of manuals and papers. "That's how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will do it." Well, we can all build up that knowledge. But are we really doing it? Warren Buffett says, “I just sit in my office and read all day.” What does that mean? He estimates that he spends 80% of his working day reading and thinking. This leads to what is known as the  Buffet Formula: “Going to bed smarter than you woke up.” Why is that so important? We’ve been recording knowledge in books for a long time. That means there’s not a lot that’s new; it’s just recycled old knowledge. Odds are that no matter what you’re working on, someone somewhere, who is smarter than you, has

How can you improve your life?

  The 18 unconventional ways to elevate your consciousness, expand your influence and ultimately improve your life. Have sex.  There's something unflinchingly "human” about a sexual experience. It builds something within you that connects deeply to nature. A confidence is built. From a person who went stretches- sometimes over a year- without having sex due to deeply rooted sexual anxieties (fear of climaxing too quick, that I wasn't “good enough” in bed, distaste of one-night-encounters etc) rediscovering the feeling you get in your life while being sexually active has really made a positive impact. Introduce yourself to anyone and everyone.  Human beings are social creatures by nature. With that in mind, it is imperative to make your presence known in any room you're in. Don't you hate that feeling when you're at a party or gathering, you go there with a friend and the friend doesn't introduce you to anyone? It sucks. Extreme responsibility is needed on y
