How to Be Successful? Start with Being Healther | 7 Tips to Creating Healthy Habits



How many times have you heard someone say that they want to be successful?  I know I have heard it more times than many but what I don’t see behind the words more so is the action that will guarantee that place of success.  There are no overnight successes despite what you may have believed. 

To reach any level of success, it takes lots of work, discipline, consistency and organization on your end.  Sometimes we get so caught up in believing that God is going to do all the work and all we have to do is prayer. I hate to break it to you but Faith without Works is null in void.   If you have your Faith on Fleek, congratulations because you are one step closer to experiencing success and now all you need to do is implement the work part. 

A major part of doing the work in becoming success is Creating Healthy Habits in your life.  I had to learn along my journey that success starts in your personal life before it’s possible in any other area.  The way you do anything is the way you do everything.  What that means is if your personal life is all over the place and inconsistent than your professional life will look the same. 
 
The first step in Creating Healthy Habits is taking an inventory of your personal life.  

Is your life overwhelming?  

Is your daily schedule chaotic?  

Is your home full of clutter denying you of any personal space? 

Is your car a junk fest?  

Do you balance your checkbook and control your spending? 

Do you take time out for self-care? 

Do you take time out for others? 

You get the drift!  All of these things are things that you and me need to work on if we desire to be successful in any other area, that includes our relationship with God, our husbands (future husbands), businesses etc
The less clutter you have, the more clarity you gain.

I want to leave with you 7 Tips to help you over the next few days and weeks in Creating Healthy Habits for your life. I have implemented these tools and they have made a tremendous difference in my life and I want to spread the love.

1.      Create daily routines - daily task is inevitable, stick to the script - the most successful people have morning rituals and routines. What are you wasting time on?  If you want your life to change, start with changing one day at a time.
2.      Be intentional about your time with God before you do anything else - start with 20 min per day.  Don’t overkill here.  If this is new for you, start small and work your way up to lengthier time frames.
3.      Create consistency- do things the same time every day or same days per week - read, pray, meditate, give thanks, exercise etc.  For instance, you may pray/read starting at 6AM.  You may workout Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays at noon. 
4.      Discipline - do it no matter what - don't think about the hour you don't have, focus on the 10-15 min you do have.
5.      Eat healthy- start with breakfast replacements – replace the unhealthy breakfast for a yogurt or oatmeal and fruits. Be creative and start small.
6.      Clean your car every week and pick a certain day of the week to do laundry.
7.      Self-Development - replace forms of entertainment with things that will help you reach your level of success.  Listen and entertain things that speak to your purpose rather than your pain.
These are just a few tips I wanted to share with you because they have been transformational for me.  For more information on Creating Healthy Habits in your life, email us at jillandtreal@detourmovement.com.
