🍵 7 Habits To Become Unstoppable In 2023

🎉 Happy New Year 🎉

Having the right mindset is fundamental to success in life.

And it takes time and consistent effort to develop and start building “the new you”.

But the good news is:

There are a few simple and easy actions you can take right now to set the foundations solid on your path to success.

So, here are the 7 habits you should form to become unstoppable in 2023 and beyond:

1/ Always Be Learning

Reading for 30 mins every day is all it takes to set you apart from the crowd.

And it comes with massive benefits for you:

• enhanced creativity

• improved mental agility

• a new perspective on usual things

• the ability to absorb new information, faster.

Here, the more you diversify, the better:

• Read different genres, fiction or not. Listen to audiobooks or podcasts while commuting.

Bonus: write down your thoughts for a few minutes each day.

This simple practice will bring you clarity of mind and much more.

A life-changing experience, I guarantee it. 💡

2/ Focus on deep work

Distraction is the enemy of productive work. And being busy does not mean productivity.

Put your phone away from you, in another room. Or set it on airplane mode.

Define your sacred hours.

Mine are 6 - 8 am where I focus on completing the most important 3 tasks for the day.

And do not stop or check social media until you complete them.

Refer to the Eisenhower Matrix to set the right priorities and you’ll achieve more than you ever did before: 🎯

3/ Hang out with the right people

You're the average of the five people you surround yourself with most of the time.

So hang out with people who want you to win.

People who are smarter and in better physical and financial conditions than you.

Cut off those who want to pull you down. This includes any toxic relationships or friends as necessary.

And always remind yourself:

The people you surround yourself with should be a reflection of who you want to be. 👍

4/ Take care of yourself

There is no success if you are in a bad condition, both mentally and physically.

So, focus on the following:

• 8 hours of quality sleep

• daily exercises or workouts

• eat healthy food as you can.

• drink at least 1l of water every day.

• and don’t drink your calories. No more sugar-added beverages.

Also, you are not meant to stand still or sit down all day long.

• Go for a 15 mins walk every day and get some sunlight.

It will help you reduce stress and prevent depression.

Bonus: you’ll get more inspiration and become more creative.

It’s also the ideal moment to listen to your favorite podcasts or audiobooks. 🔥

5/ Collect experiences, not things

Most people buy things to get quick hits of dopamine rather than build experiences.

It's easy to consider that buying "things" will bring you happiness and fulfillment.

But the truth is, it's often our experiences that provide us with the most meaningful and lasting joy.

It helps us make genuine connections with others, learn new things or expand our own limits.

Traveling to a new place, trying a new hobby, or spending quality time with loved ones are priceless.

These experiences enrich our lives in ways that material possessions cannot.

Experiences bring us joy in the present moment. And they also leave us with lasting memories and personal growth.

So focus on collecting experiences at all times. 💡

6/ Act as if you were the person you want to become

Earl Nightingale defined it as “The Strangest Secret”:

We become what we think about.

The formula is simple:

1. Your thoughts lead to feelings.

2. Feelings lead to actions.

3. And actions lead to results.

So if you want to change the results, you must change your thoughts.

Start acting or talking like the person you want to become.

Go where they like to hang out. Behave like them and bring your own personality.

• In short, lead the field as they do.

Sooner than later, you’ll find yourself becoming the type of person you wanted to be.

7/ Invest in yourself

As Jim Rohn once said:

Invest in yourself more than you do in your work.

You never know what the future holds.

And your best option in life is to keep investing and developing your skills.

So, invest in yourself.

It’s the only way to become unstoppable.

And there is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs.

There is no heat without putting in the wood first, either.

So, go and do the work.

Come on, you’ve got this! 🎯

And that’s it

Wishing you all the best in 2023.

May it be a year of fulfillment in all the things you want to achieve!
