I was reading an older post "30 Challenges for 30 Days of Growth," which is based on the idea that it takes 30 days to form a new habit. The challenge is to pick a few of them, and for the next 30 days try and focus on developing those habits.
Yesterday, I decided to give it a go.
Here are the three I have selected:
8. Concentrate on being positive at all times. – The real winners in life cultivate optimism. They have the ability to manufacture their own happiness
and drive. No matter what the situation, the successful diva is the
chick who will always find a way to put an optimistic spin on it. She
knows failure only as an opportunity to grow and learn a new lesson
from life. People who think optimistically see the world as a place
packed with endless opportunities, especially in trying times. Try to
spend the next 30 days looking at the bright side of things.
18. Read one chapter of a good book every day. – With the
Web’s endless stream of informative, easy-to-skim textual snippets and
collaborative written works, people are spending more and more time
reading online. Nevertheless, the Web cannot replace the authoritative
wisdom from certain classic books that have delivered (or will deliver)
profound ideas around the globe for generations. Books open doors, in
your mind and in your life. Read an online book list
and find a good book to grab at the library today. Then spend the next
30 days reading at least one chapter a day until you reach the end.
Here’s another book list. And another. And another.
25. Spend 10 minutes every evening reflecting on what went well.
– For the next 30 days spend 10 minutes every evening pondering the
small successes that occurred during the course of the day. This
process of positive reflection will remind you of all the tiny
blessings in your life, and help you to celebrate your personal growth.
And away we go!
