27 BE INSPRED, JANUARY 2014 4 EXCHANGE COMPLIMENTS Complimenting others is a great practice, if done regularly it’s an even better habit. Paying forward thanks or a complimentary word to the people who work or live around you, helps build a better relationship. The more you pay compliment to others, the more you catch their attention, and the more you go closer to them. Being liked or honored by the people of your around is a great thing as a social being. If you well-wish for others, you’ll find that the people also start to warm up with you. If you’re not in this habit, pay a compliment to me to start this habit off right now! 5 LEAVE RIGOROUS, START WITH SMALL When we plan something, we die to make it happen right now. For example- if you plan to lose 20 pounds, you would surely want to make it happen now, it’s a human tendency but this should not happen. You know, every change takes some time whether it is losing weight, stop smoking, rising early and so on. Keep in your mind that, starting with small, one day, will take you to a big change that you desire. For example- if you walk at a moderate pace weighing 160 pounds, you will burn 6.3 calories in a minute. If you can walk 45 minutes a day, you’ll burn 283 calories. That means you will be dropping more than 20 lbs in a year; pretty simple math! If you want to see this change by year’s end, you’ve made it! 6 BECOMING A MORE ORGANIZED PERSON “The more self-disciplined, self-organized and focused you are, the more you’ll feel you could be doing much better.”- says Brian Tracy, an American motivational speaker and author of the book The Miracle of Self-discipline. If you want to get implemented all of your New Year’s resolutions at a greater success rate, you must be more organized than you are now. 7 MAKE YOUR DAY A NON-ZERO DAY A day without doing any significant task means a zero-day. And a zero-day is never expected to the person who really wants to change his life. If you want your next year without a zero-day, then you must do at least one single task no matter what it is. Cleaning your home, washing clothes, writing one sentence, taking one pushup, walking, etc. That means, if you can afford yourself to take one pushup, write one sentence you could probably can complete 15 pushups, one page of an article. Stick with this resolution.
