Main Takeaways:

For many years, I have pulled together a list of life rules or guidelines to help me daily.

I have 12 of them that I update every year.

They are systems I lean on and key reminders for me.

To stay anchored to who I want to be.

You can use my 12 to help build your own.

1) Find space and time daily to meditate, breathe, and say thank you for my life.

2) Avoid confrontations – look for ways around – by stepping back or asking good questions, a good question can always defuse a misunderstanding.

3) Find room each day to move – from walks to full workouts; each day needs a release of energy to create more energy.

4) Everything that happens to you, Good or Bad, is your personal responsibility, 100%; there is no other way.

5) Look for, follow, and find momentum in your life. Action creates more action; follow that flow.

6) Protect your growth mindset (live in gratitude). Every situation provides you with a chance to grow, learn, and adapt.

7) Read, learn, and grow each day. Just don't leave your growth to life experience; find good sources of knowledge to consume daily.

8) Talking with yourself in a journal can improve your day. Even if it is just a sentence, write something down daily.

9) You don’t always need your phone to be on or with you. Disconnect daily; your brain will thank you.

10) Always look for ways to give back and share; all boats rise from the incoming tide.

11) Live from the heart – think with the head but trust your gut. Listen to your intuition; you can tap into this more by following rules 1, 3, 7 and 8

12) Protect your morning routine, evening routine, and your sleep. Sleep is your number one asset; protect it and your energy by having strong routines before and after it.

When you look at your 12 rules daily, you frame your mind for the day.

You take actions aligned with your best version of who you want.

Kickstart your days and improve your chances of success by creating your own list of 10 to 12 life rules.

You won't regret it.
