17 Habits Of People Who Are Happy, Healthy And Successful

Who would’ve never dreamt of being happy, healthy and successful? However, do you find yourself thinking: “If only I had a better body, more money, or a sports car…I could have achieved all three?” But the interesting fact is that it’s really difficult to attain all three at the same time. Elders say “That’s life.” So they made out a myth that there is nothing like a happy, healthy and successful life. As we are living in an era where anything and everything is possible, holding on to a mere myth is really utter rubbish. If you are planning to compare your life with someone else’s, there is not even a speck of possibility that you’ll stay happy.

So here are 17 habits of people who are leading a happy, healthy and successful life:

1. Find time for yourself

Your body is just a vessel which carries your soul. Your hands might be too engaged with work which piles around you minute by minute. But remember that you owe yourself some time. Loosen up! You work to make your life easier, but what if you forgot to enjoy yourself between this everlasting hungers for being successful?

2. Diet comes first

It’s your diet which decides your day. Having a proper and well-balanced diet should always be on your priority list. Your body needs all the proper nutrition to keep you at your best. Proper diets also control your weight gain and help you have a healthy immune system.

3. Proper rest

The importance of having proper rest is as important as the oxygen you breathe in. Scientists have proved that a human needs an average 6 hours of sleep to keep him/her productive. However, lack of sleep might result in obesity, heart diseases…etc.

4. Exercise

“To enjoy the glow of good health, you must exercise” – Gene Tunney

The introduction of machines has clearly made our life easier but has definitely made us more prone to sickness. It is really important to exercise in order to strengthen your muscles and bones and keep you away from being obese. So make out a healthy exercise plan and implement it in your daily routine.

5. Keep your stand in the present

This is a case where most of us break apart. We live in the present but still regret about the past. Always remember that life is a subject and the past, present, and future are the units you need to study. Learn from the past, keep it only as a reference and live in the present to make your future brighter.

6. Don’t forget to smile

“A smile costs nothing, but gives much”. Just a mere smile can change your life and of the one’s around you.

7. Make friends which have a positive influence in your life

One cannot attain anything in his life without the help of others. Make friends who influence you in a positive way. Always try to picture your friends as the ones who are here to teach you a lesson. If it did not work out with a few, it doesn’t matter. Staying around friends who always give you negative vibes is really a waste of time and will definitely make your way to your dreams lengthier. So choose your friends wisely.     

8. Follow your dreams

It’s your life and you are the only one who has control over it. Never give up your dreams and passions for others. If dancing is your passion, go be a dancer. No one will stop you. This will make you more independent and strong. Don’t follow others on the path they have made. Create your own path and allow others to follow em’.

9. Grudges are dead-weights

Grudges are just dead-weights. The only thing they do is hold you back. It just brings you pains and sufferings. But forgiving him or her is not important, moving on from it is important. Let go of all the hate and anger and fill up the spaces with positivity and happiness.

10. Kindness is the key

“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see”. A simple fraction of kindness from you might make someone’s day. Be kind to everyone so that they will do the same. A kind heart holds the key to success in life.

11. Jealousy is poison

Don’t compare yourself with others. You would never be satisfied with what you have now. Jealousy is like a minute poison. As you grow older it becomes stronger. Always remember that money can’t buy you happiness and being beautiful doesn’t mean that you’ll have the right brains along with it to make you successful. So be happy with what you have and just try to improvise what you have and you need.

12. Finish what you started

Always finish what you’ve started. Don’t leave a job or task in middle and unattended. Maybe that holds the key to your life twist!

13. Be confident

Be the turtle, not the rabbit. Be confident in your skills and abilities for problem-solving. If you are confident in yourself nothing can stop you then. It will be an easy home run for you!!!

14. Be a good listener

Listening is always better because it prevents miscommunication and can make a message more clearly understood without making the speaker frustrated. Always listen to others so that it will help you to soak in the wisdom from them. But acting according to what you heard is completely in your hands.

15. Meditate

A calm mind is the altar of positivity and creativity. Develop a habit of meditating for at least 15 minutes in a day. This will help in purifying your blood and keeping your mind calm. Research shows that it can even control the blood flow in your brains and keep you happier.

16. Don’t expect returns

Don’t offer help to anyone expecting returns. Remember that you might be the last person they would ask for help. So other than considering it as granted, help them out.

17. Never regret your decisions

Never regret the decisions you have made. Be stern in your grounds and try your level best to execute it. If you can’t, get the required help from professionals.

Conclusion

These are just tips for you to lead a dream life you always had in your mind. It is you who decides what to be and where to be. Remember that you don’t need other’s approval to do something in your life. “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” It takes time and patience.

No one is born unsuccessful, but if you die unsuccessful, it’s you to blame.

So first, find out what the word successful means to you.
