20 habits that will solve most problems in life

Every day we face small and big problems. They occur at different stages of life and most often fall into several categories: health, finances, relationships, work, career, and goals. But no difficulties should stop our personal growth. It is important to learn how to adapt to change and keep moving forward, even when everything around you is collapsing. Here are some habits that will help.

1. Make a list of problems at least once a month. This the best way to keep track of the obstacles that are in front of us and discover workarounds.
2. Sort problems by priority. Not every one of them is really important and urgent, some just seem so. Write down problems in order of importance and use the list to deal with them one by one.
3. Train thinking. Solving problems depends on the stability of the mind. Today's challenges prepare us to deal with tomorrow's. Therefore, it is important to develop a resilient mindset. American pastor, writer, and educator Charles Swindall said: "Life is 10% what happens and 90% how we react to it."

4. Save money. The future will always be uncertain. The best way to prepare for it - make savings. For example, enable automatic transfer of a small amount to a separate bank account so as not to remind yourself of this every month.
5. Develop skills that will make you an indispensable specialist in the future. Turn continuous learning into a habit and try to learn new skills every month. Best of all, those that do not become obsolete for a long time and will always be in demand.
6. Build a portfolio career. You will earn more if, in addition to the main occupation, your “portfolio of work” includes additional ones and you apply your professional experience in many ways, such as taking on small side projects, consulting, or writing articles like an expert.
7. Invest. Consult with a specialist or invest in projects that will help you express yourself. This will open up the possibility of earning more in the future.
8. Identify at least two areas in which you can grow professionally. Find books, resources, and people to help you get better.
9. Prevent work stress. Take frequent breaks, reduce your responsibilities, de-clutter your schedule, focus on one task at a time, keep to-do lists short, and be mindful of your biorhythms.
10. Rest. Our body works 24 hours a day. Therefore, it is extremely important to always get enough sleep and find time to “reboot” mentally and physically. This is one of the best ways to avoid health problems and keep your mind focused and sharp.
    
11. Stay active. Add daily 15 minute walks outdoor activities into your schedule to relieve stress and restore clarity of thought.
12. Spend time in nature. It helps restore energy reserves, improves attention and improves mood.
13. Be present in the moment. Involvement currently does not allow worry and anxiety to take over our lives. When we are in the flow, nothing else matters except what is happening here and now.
14. Create clear systems for everything you do. If you want to write every day, find the best time in your schedule to write and change your environment to support this habit, such as buying a nice notebook.
15. Exercise regularly. To turn workouts into a habit, do them on the same day at the same time. Create a dedicated playlist and make the whole experience as enjoyable as possible so you can look forward to your next session.
16. fill life meaning. Write down everything related to family and work that makes you feel alive. Spend as much time on the activities on the list as possible.
17. Don't get hung up. Not all problems in life can be solved. Some, such as those related to the weather, the economy, the words and actions of other people, are beyond our control. Don't worry about them. Focus on your own thoughts and habits and what you can really fix.
18. Maintain an open mind when solving problems. Do not assume that similar tasks should be treated in the same way. What worked before may not work now. Don't let yourself get stuck in the past. Constantly update your view of the world and make a habit of looking for alternative approaches to get fresh solutions to current problems.
19. Take over responsibility in all my life. Problems, obstacles and failures - It's not the end of the world. How we deal with them means much more than how often we encounter them.
20. Find points of growth. Every problem contains an opportunity for development. Use it to overcome life's biggest challenges and be ready for the next challenge.
