WHY PERSONAL HABITS ARE IMPORTANT IN LIFE?

Personal habits matter in life for a number of reasons:

2) Productivity and success:

Individuals can increase their productivity and succeed in their personal and professional goals by forming good habits such as goal setting, time management and organization.

Self care behaviours like mindfulness training or taking up a hobby, can lower stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms and can improve mental health in general.

4) Relationships:

Stronger relationships and stronger connections with people can result from positive behaviours like spending quality time with loved ones and communicating effectively.

5) Personal development:

Creating positive habits and kicking negative ones can help people grow personally and become the greatest versions of themselves.

So let’s take a deeper look of 8 habits that i have mentioned earlier and the benefits of following these routines which i got:

WAKING UP BEFORE 5AM:

I developed the personal practice of waking up before 5 in the morning for a variety of reasons, some are:

* Increased productivity:

People who rise early frequently discover that they may start their day with an advantage, which enables them to complete more work and be more efficient.

* Quiet time:

The early morning hours are always calm and quiet, offering a chance for meditation or to concentrate work without interruptions.

* Exercise:

Getting up early can provide more time for exercise, which is good for physical and emotional well being.

* Better mental health:

Getting an early start to the day makes me feel more optimistic, focused and keeps me positive all day long.

* Better sleep:

Consistent and restful sleep is crucial for general health and well being and it can be achieved by going to bed early and waking up early.

It’s important to remember, that not everyone needs to wake up early, and that the ideal wake up time might change depending on your lifestyle. Prioritizing adequate sleep and establishing a schedule that suite your lifestyle is much more better to follow in a routine.

DAILY WORKOUT:

I workout for at least 5 days in a week. It works wonders on your both physical and emotional state of health. Some common benefits are:

* Better Cardiovascular health:

Frequent exercise reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke by strengthening the heart and enhancing circulation.

* Weight management:

By burning calories and increasing muscle mass, regular exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight or shed extra weight.

* Improved mental health:

As we all know, that exercise causes production of endorphins which improves mood and reduce the feelings of anxiety, depression and stress.

* Better sleep:

Sleep patterns can be regulated with regular physical exercise, which improves the quality of sleep.

It’s important to choose your workout routine by your lifestyle preferences, but don’t forget to workout and at the same time listen to your body.

MINDFULNESS AND MEDITATION:

Concentrating your thoughts, without passing judgements is the practice of mindfulness and meditation.

Mindfulness:

Being conscious of your thoughts, feelings, sensation and environment in the present moment is the practice of mindfulness. It means being aware of your thoughts and emotions without assigning them a positive or negative value.

Meditation:

Training your mind to focus and refocus your thoughts is the practice of meditation. Mainly find a quietful place and focus on your breath or any mantra. Relaxation, stress reduction and mental calmness can all be achieved through meditation.

Some of the benefits i had while practicing both mindfulness and meditation are:
