 To take control of your life or simply achieve your goals, it is necessary, if not essential, to have healthy lifestyle habits.

Having spent time trying out a lot of practice exercises, different habits, here are the 30 habits you can easily have today!

Taking back control of your life starts with having good habits.

1. Have The Core Values

Core values ​​are simply the foundation, the solid pillars of your life. Everything around you will know the filter of these values. Do you know what values ​​you follow in your daily habits? In my opinion, here are the 5 core values ​​to have to have the life you dream of having:

• Everything is an impermanent
• Have the right mindset, the right state of mind
• Focus on actions rather than results
• Door that closes = door that opens
• Break down your goals to completely simplify the achievement of your goals, your ideal vision of life

I have written a whole article that details the 5 fundamental values ​​to have in your habits to choose your life and know how to achieve your goals: CLICK HERE to read it.

2. Problems are a Good Thing

How do you see the problems, you? If there is one thing you need to remember, it's that it's all about perception and state of mind, as always.

The negative connotation of the word "problem" actually does not make you want to have it. But, even if at the time you tell yourself that you are going to waste time, energy on a particular "problem", you will also learn a lot. And, ironically, if you take a step back from this sort of situation, you will be able to see that you learn much more effectively when your learning emerges from an experience that was - at the time - problematic.

Did you make a mistake or suddenly something went wrong and it scares you? Don't panic, there are no problems, only solutions 🙂

3. See / Dream Big

Do you know why you got up this morning? 90% of people don't even take the time to think about it. Did you do it? I know exactly why I got up this morning.

Just take the time to think about your ideal outlook on life and what you would really like. This will allow you to break it down into intermediate objectives to achieve in order to achieve them little by little.

You know what ? You are only one step away - the hardest one by the way - from the life you really want to have, so get started now!

4. The Best Time to Take Action is Now!

There is NO good excuse for not taking action NOW.

5. Be Scared, But Do it Anyway

To be afraid is quite normal. Fortunately, you are afraid ... It is an unconscious reflex that dates back to prehistoric times. Our brains are conditioned to be afraid and react accordingly. So you have absolutely no hand to completely stop being afraid.

On the other hand, you have the hand to choose your reactions to this fear. There are so many fears and fears on the path to success, to your ideal outlook on life, but rather than letting this fear control you, cripple you, limit you, choose your reactions and use that fear wisely.

People who are successful in achieving their goals get things done without worrying about what they can't control ...

6. Ask Yourself The Right Questions

It sounds basic to say that you have to ask the right questions, and it is. But I think it's important to remember that.

We ask ourselves countless questions every day. But the goal is not to spend your day asking yourself X questions. You will eventually get carried away by your thoughts, even let yourself be paralyzed by them.

Focus on the right questions, the ones that will help you achieve your goals. Focus on what you have control over, on your actions that will gradually lead you to your ideal vision of life, to your goals.

7. Knowing How To Take Responsibility

Not every action you take will be useful for your goals. Maybe you've even made or will make mistakes - that's for sure. But without taking action, you can be sure you won't see any change.

So take action, and if you make mistakes, just learn from your mistakes so you don't duplicate them and gain experience!

8. Be Positive and Persevere

THE good state of mind. This one comes back often ... It is so important. Being positive isn't always easy. Especially when you are in a difficult period where several "problems" or negative consequences are occurring. But it's EXACTLY in those kinds of situations that you have to force yourself to see the positive side of things. This is how you build a good mood!

9. Success Attracts Success

It is YOU and just you who create your own luck. You have to focus on your real goals, which is what you really want.

A great exercise for that is to visualize. It can even - and this is one of the best habits you can have - a little daily ritual. Take the time to settle down, take a deep breath, close your eyes and imagine yourself, visualize, feel how you will feel when you have achieved your goal.

10. Just Be Yourself

Be original. Be the best version of yourself.

Always and always seek to optimize your strengths, this is really what will take you far!

A simple habit and exercise for this is to dare to ask people around you for comments, constructive criticism on you just to improve yourself. This is one of the best exercises, difficult, but effective and fast, there is!

11. Dare to Swim Against The Tide

People who are successful in achieving their goals don't appeal to people. And that's how it is ... They don't need the constant approval of others to progress. And that is a great personality trait to have - or to develop ...

12. STOP if Necessary For Control

Can't you control a situation, an action or something? So forget ... There's no point wasting time and energy on things you can't handle!

13. It's all About The Journey

What really matters? The destination ? Or the trip…?

You have 4 hours 🙂

14. Always Learn

At school, we spend our time learning quite eclectic things. And that's great: it allows us to gradually build our vision of the world and everything that surrounds us in general.

But, in general, apart from a few training courses here and there at work - which are not always very interesting - you practically stop learning ...

Continually learning will allow you to better understand everything around you, to improve yourself, to discover (and why not branch off in your life path?), To develop your senses, your knowledge ... And I have no better ones.

This is how we keep growing ...

15. Challenge accepted!

Challenge yourself! Dare to step out of your comfort zone from time to time ... It can only benefit you ...

It is in these kinds of situations that you learn very intensely, that you discover ways of reacting, personality traits that you did not even know!

What if you launched a “comfort challenge” once a week? 🙂

16. Manage your Emotions

Having emotions is quite normal - that's what humanizes us, right? But ... Sometimes we get overwhelmed by them.

Those who succeed in achieving their goals are not slaves to their emotions. Not that they prevent themselves from feeling things - on the contrary! But they make sure not to let their emotions paralyze. They make good use of it!

Being able to ensure that you are not a victim of your emotions will lead you to another habit to have: discipline. I would say even more, self-discipline. The one that will keep you from procrastinating in times of weakness!

17. On Top of Communication

If you want to succeed in achieving your goals, knowing how to communicate, and above all, knowing how to communicate well is essential.

It is by communicating in the right way that you will avoid any implication or other action that can create misunderstanding. And there is nothing worse to get you stuck in impossible situations than misunderstanding: it wastes your time and energy on unnecessary things.

18. Have a Good Morning Routine

Anyone who succeeds creates a morning routine to be on top! No need to be long, just enough to take time for yourself, meditate, read (learn), play sports ... Now is YOUR time: make good use of it! 🙂

19. Money is not Everything

Money and success may be correlated, but they are nonetheless interchangeable. And that is something to keep in mind to achieve your goals. The most successful people have understood ...

20. Knowing How to be Content With What you Have

In an increasingly consumer-oriented society with its relentless need to innovate, it's hard to be happy with what you have. You have to know not to derive your self-esteem from what you have, where you live or how you look. It's "just" hardware, it's replaceable. You're worth a lot more than what you own, aren't you?

21. Practice Gratitude

Speaking of knowing how to be content with what you have, you can be grateful for that as well. Know how to thank someone for something they've done for you - even if it's their "job." Enjoy sharing, helping others what you're good at!

Gratitude is now scientifically proven to be very effective on health and well-being. Integrating it into your habits is undoubtedly one of the keys to being happy.

22. More Humility, Less Arrogance

Stay humble! This is a quality that is more and more difficult to keep in our “social networks” generation. Use your strengths wisely, but don't overdo it ... What's the point of being arrogant if not trying to catch the eye of others? What more does it get you? If it's not superficial relationships ...

23. Door That Closes = Door That Opens

It's one of the 5 fundamental values. And even if it is complicated at a time when you experience a failure to see the positive side of things, you will see that with hindsight, a door that closes is another that opens ... Know how to see the bright side of things. things. It is hardly possible to make it part of your daily habits to see that a door that closes is one that opens.

On the other hand, you can make it a habit to regularly analyze the doors that are closing so that you can see those that open.

While many people use excuses such as age, health, "lack of time", "bad luck" or lack of opportunity to explain their failure, the key to success is finding a way to be successful. , despite the challenges they face.

24. Health is Precious

Being well both physically and mentally is essential. It is essential to integrate into your habits the fact of taking the time for yourself, of listening to yourself in order to take care of yourself.

25. Surround Yourself With The Right People

“You attract what you are. "There isn't much more to say except to stress that being positive in your daily life, in your relationships, in your habits will allow you to attract positive people. It's only these kinds of relationships that will pull you to the top!

26. Knowing How to Spend Time Alone

Being alone from time to time means taking the time for yourself, therefore being more able to listen to yourself, therefore to go in the right direction (the one that will lead you towards YOUR goal in life). Even though it is essential to have (good) relationships - which allows you to grow differently - it is in these moments when you find yourself facing yourself that you can really focus on your goals and what you really want. CQFD.

27. Knowing How To be Demanding

We were talking about self-discipline earlier: it is when you are in the bottom of the wave and are ready to let go that you just have to know how to hold on and persevere. This is how you will go far: anchor it in your daily habits!

28. See Yourself as a Whole

We are not only physical and psychological beings, we are also emotional and spiritual creatures.

It's also not about being perfect in every aspect of your life, on the contrary, that would be counterproductive. Know how to self-analyze in order to know which aspects of your life you use the most and how to make these aspects efficient!

29. Knowing How To Say STOP

Take time. Simply. We're still running around these days. But it is important to know how to say stop and to get some fresh air, to cut yourself off from your daily life, from your job.

Usually, pressing the OFF button for a few moments is a real leverage effect. It allows you to take a step back, to breathe. The time you will take to cut will be a huge time saver later on because of the distance you have managed to take, the fact of having been able to calm your emotions, of simply having cut off from your daily life.

It is better to cut regularly, even if it is really not long, than to wait a long time before cutting a good cut ... Otherwise, nothing like to accumulate everything and get everything out in a way you don't  want it to come out… No need to draw I imagine? 🙂

30. Don't Take The Easy Way Out

Without a pun, it's very (far too) easy to take the easy way out. And what does it mean to take the easy way out? Do you really think this is the shortest way? Ironically, it's usually even the longest ...

Because, choosing a less easy path, at worst, it risks you "failing" (and again, it depends in which way you see it, again), but as explained above, this is how you learn the fastest and most efficient! And, at best, you get it right the first time!

While most people are looking for the easiest way or a shortcut, successful people are more interested in the more effective way. It's the habit of finding the course of action that will produce the best long-term results that is the best option, don't you think? 🙂
