HOW TO HAVE A GOOD START IN 2017?

Let’s not specified the year and let the title change to “How to have a good start EVERYDAY”. In my opinion, we have to start  our day with a good start to have a good end of the day. Is it hard? Let me share with you a little tip to make it easier for you;

Think Positive

If anyone of you here have no idea on how to think positive, the hack here is…. Try to think other way around. Negative people prone to think of something bad. Rather than spoiling your mind with a bad thought, why don’t you try to think the other way around? For example, I am quite a negative person sometime, I will constantly think that something bad will eventually happen to me. But, think at the bright side, do worrying about it makes it better? NO! You will eventually be afraid of everything. “Why should I blog if nobody will read it?”. But isn’t it better to try rather than making your own assumption. Can you get what I mean? Think more of the good side.

MAKE GOAL THAT IS REACHABLE

It’s easy to make goals for your life. But is it easy to reach it? Try making goals that you think it’s possible. If you like sugar so much, try NO SUGAR FOR A DAY. Don’t try to go for NO SUGAR FOR A MONTH thingy. When you eventually reach your goal, trust me. It will make your day. Rather than setting higher goal that will result to failure and ruin your day. But! Don’t set a goal that is too easy for you. Setting goals mean reaching for something that you haven’t reach before.

MAKE A HABIT TRACKER

Above is an example of a Habit Tracker. I’ve been using this Habit Tracker since the last few months and it helps me a lot especially in motivating me. I usually use this to track my habit such as, making meal, making the bed, cleaning, laundry and etc. Habit tracker helps me a lot in making sure I don’t forget small things like making my bed and laundry. Whenever I saw my meal planning is mostly tick (√), it will motivate me to do more. It makes me feel like I have achieved something. It also teaches you on how to be more discipline.

3 THINGS THAT YOU ARE THANKFUL FOR

Have you ever sit down and think about things that you are thankful for that day/month or year? If you haven’t, give it a try. We are too busy complaining about life until we forgot to notice things we should be thankful for. You don’t have to be thankful for something big. Small things are enough for you to remember to appreciate each and every thing that happens in your everyday life. For an example, food that we got to eat, day that we got to spend and vehicle that we got to ride. Not everybody got the privilege to have what you have. If we learn to be thankful on small things that happen to our life, we will eventually learn to appreciate more.

ENCOURAGE INSTEAD OF COMPLAINTS

Complaint is the thing we do each and every day. But if try changing our mind-set to encourage rather than complaining, we might get a positive income out of it. Rather that we complaint that we have a lot of paper work to do, might as well we encourage ourselves to focus and get it done so that we have nothing else to think about. We will not get anything done by complaining, it will only make things worse. So, instead of complaining, let’s start encouraging ourselves to do better!

HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU

DON’T CREATE DRAMA. Have a good relationship with people around you no matter who they are. You don’t want to start your day with anger. Communicate wisely with people around you and be friendly. If you don’t have anything nice to say, keep it to yourself. If you don’t like something, voice it out in a good way. Don’t try to hurt somebody else feeling just because you are hurt. It’s not easy to end a drama, so don’t create it.

WAKE UP EARLY AND GO TO BED EARLY

Starting your day early is a very good start. Waking up early means you will not turn up late to work and you will be more productive. You will have a lot of job done and time for yourself. BUT! This means that you have to go to bed early too. You don’t want to start your day being grumpy and uncomfortable because you don’t have enough sleep last night. Good sleep equal to a good day.

APPRECIATE EACH AND EVERY MOMENT

SLOW DOWN!!! You are going to fast people. Don’t forget to appreciate every moment in your life. Love the people around you and appreciate the beautiful moment in your life. Good things do not come often. So, appreciate it. You will eventually miss it one day. Love your parent and kids unconditionally. Remember that parent grows old and your kids grow up. By the time you realize how important they are to you, your kids are already married. He/she might don’t have the time to spend it with you. So while they are around, appreciate the moment. Create the moment if possible.  Don’t wait until it’s too late.

So that is my entire tip on how to start your 2017 with a good start. Hope it will be useful to everybody and have a great 2017. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
