5 Decisions That Will Enhance The Quality of Your Life & Career

Happy new year once again! This is the time when most people set audacious goals and make resolutions but how many of such goals and resolutions get fulfilled by the end of the year?

If you are honest with yourself, you’ll agree that as humans we never really make progress until we become intentional, make bold decisions and stay committed to them.

Do you agree with me? Then you might be interested to look into these 5 decisions that can help you live happier & better.

1. Sleep for longer: a lack of adequate sleep might just be the reason you are unable to conceptualize brilliant ideas. One or two more hours of sleep might just be what you need to get back on your A-game. So will you continue to sacrifice your sleep or make sleep your secret weapon? I’d rather do the latter.
2. Spend to rest & focus: having worked every weekday and spent hours in traffic, why break your back over your many house chores during the weekend? Make a budget for the laundromat and pay for a nanny or cleaner etc. That way you’ll get more time to relax and pay attention to your big dreams.
3. Say no more often: too often we say yes to things that hurt us emotionally, psychologically and even physically. Be more critical of the responsibilities you decide to take on. Not every DM or email requires an immediate response. Weigh the requests that are presented to you and be sure you have capacity before you choose to accept.
4. Eat healthily: experts say your weight is due to 80% of what you eat, so imagine how insignificant the impact of exercise could be! One of the easiest ways to start eating healthy is to eat more plant-based foods. Reach out to an expert if you are not sure where to start from.
5. Meditate more often: we often live life in a continuum and only pause occasionally to look back at how far we’ve come. Decide to take more time off for meditation. Reflect on your goals and the steps you’ve taken. Analyze your mistakes as well as your proud moments. Meditation helps you take inventory of your journey so far and it is also a good opportunity to form new perspectives and birth new ideas.
