Work it—Most human beings underestimate the power of a good workout.
They have no idea how much energy and confidence a strong and fit body could
add to their lives, that’s why they go months and years without doing any
physical exercise that could keep their body fit.
“God has put a lot of potential inside the human
body, and a workout helps people move their energies in the right direction.”
● Exercise is known to bring a lot of positive changes inside a
human being’s body.
● It not only tames the body but also trains the mind to be more
active and useful.
● People, who workout do better at life and have a far more positive mindset.
● You can learn how to cope up with stress due to continuous physical struggle.
Mean it—In life, many people say a lot of things and but don’t mean
them. They keep rambling about the things they are and would do but the thing
is they never really do or mean any of it.
Such a person is at the height of unhealthiness and toxicity.
Unfortunately, most of us fall into the category of such people but it's better
late than never.
● If you want to respect yourself and be respected by people
then start meaning your words.
● Empty words make a human being empty so make
sure your words carry some weight and leave a mark.
● If your words are meaningful then anyone would literally
think twice before playing with you.
Start living for yourself—and stop caring about other
people’s opinions of you. Opinions are important and they do matter but it is
very crucial to your existence that which opinions you give importance to.
They don’t live in your shoes so they don’t have any right to
pass judgments and comments on how you are living life or how you should live
this life.
● Are you give unnecessary significance to other people’s opinions of yours? Have people’s views become the center of your life? If so, then pause now and reflect.
● This can probably be one of the most undermining habits of
yours that need to change. When you stop bothering about them, you rise and
grow as a person, and this might scare many people but it’s completely fine.
● The only thing that should matter to you is
your God’s view of you, your opinion of yourself, and your loved ones &
mentors, apart from that any other person’s opinion
should simply not matter to you because that can hinder your growth and stop
you from becoming the best version of yourself.
Control your emotions—How you react in a situation is one of the most defining moments
of your life. Many people have no idea how to deal with their emotions. They
react instead of responding, it is very important to master the art of
emotions.
“If you learn how to respond to things instead of reacting to
them then congratulations you have learned a skill which most people never
cared to learn and have drastic effects on their lives and their personality
due to this lack of knowledge.”
There is no wrong with being emotional but if your emotions make
you into a toxic human being for yourself and others then these emotions need
to be tamed.
● Don’t be emotionally triggered over small and petty things.
● Be emotionally composed and calm.
● An emotionally strong person does not give people the power to
control themselves.
● Catch the healthy emotions and get rid of the unhealthy and
toxic ones.
