Aim at getting rid of the chaos, anxiety, confusion, fear etc. Aiming directs you to the positives of being otherwise. Then you have to follow strictly with determination.
Accept that you will be fighting your demons like procrastination, ignorance, etc.
Sensible/Specific: Make sure the goal is precise. Don’t just say, “Exercise and Do Homework. " Instead, say things like “Do 30 minutes of stretching and work on your essay for english class. " This will allow you to achieve more because if you are not specific, then you will only do a small amount. Measurable: Make sure you can measure progress. For example, a goal should not be ‘write the first part of a new blog post. ’ Instead, a goal should be something like ‘write 500 words of a new blog post. ’ Achievable/Attainable: Make sure you can achieve your goal. If you are going to be awake for 16 hours one day, then doing 15 hours of work and leaving the remaining hour for eating is not going to be achievable. You need to assign a realistic amount of time to do work, and leave time to do other things. Realistic/Relevant: First, do not try to do things which have a very low likelihood of success. For example, a business owner may plan to be the leader of the market within three months. However, if they are going through a hard time and three other companies are giving strong competition, this will probably not happen. Secondly, do not do irrelevant things. If you are asked to write a report on the effects of flooding to Victorians, then you do not need to research the causes of rainfall. Time based: Set a time limit to accomplish things. Deadlines increase productivity quickly.
Don’t expect others to be extra helpful or to feel obligated to do anything extra for you. If no one supports you, work alone.
The moment you realize you are thinking too much about something or someone, turn to your goal and continue with it. Adjust each task according to the time available and keep aiming at fulfilling them on time.
Replace junk food with a well-defined diet including proteins, calcium, vitamins etc. Include fruits, vegetables, and nuts as you can. No need to add them if you don’t like them. Just use a good substitute.
You are free to be liberal with your capacities. You don’t have to satisfy all your mind’s cravings and planning. Do what you can by listening to your body.
If a friend calls you and invites you out for a meal, you don’t want to say no just because it will ruin your daily routine. Check your schedule to see if you have time, and let your friend know about any dietary restrictions you have.
If you think you don’t have to contribute to charity, think of it in terms of decluttering your space and your home. It is for your own good too because when you don’t have a lot of things around, you will finally be able to see what you really want.
