EDUCATIONAL<br />

A productive routine can lead to good habits.<br />

Reaching this place can be very difcult for some<br />

people, while others gure it out with ease. Most<br />

people have the ability to reach their potential,<br />

but it takes a strict program to nag you to do<br />

them, but it will keep you on track as it serves as<br />

a visual reminder or a “cheat sheet.<br />

SPIRITUAL<br />

a. Pray to a Power beyond yourself -<br />

[We recommend the God of the Bible] -<br />

It is a good thing to have a strong faith<br />

in God.<br />

b. Meditate –<br />

Meditate for <strong>15</strong> minutes, visualizing<br />

ideas in meditation for 60 minutes. Sit in<br />

a chair with your back straight. Watch<br />

your breathing<br />

c. Be grateful & Forgiving –<br />

Visualize everything and Person you are<br />

grateful for, as well as every person<br />

who has done you wrong and forgive<br />

them.<br />

d. Study & read –<br />

Read the Bible, focusing on the Books<br />

Proverbs, the Gospels [Matthew, Mark<br />

Luke & John], Daniel, Deuteronomy, etc.<br />

Think positive thoughts, and appreciate<br />

your existence. Read recommended<br />

autobiographies and self-help books.<br />

Just because everyone seems dishonest is no<br />

reason you should be. You should be proud that<br />

you can be honest.<br />

MENTAL<br />

a. Write down a list of names, of lists of ideas –<br />

10 businesses you can start from home. 30 ways<br />

you can help others without spending any money.<br />

b. Write down a list of ideas–<br />

Then, write down even more later. Revisit it later in<br />

the day, and even the following day.<br />

c. List every productive thing you did yesterday –<br />

If you did nothing, list what you should have done.<br />

d. Complete a crossword or Sudoku puzzle –<br />

Puzzles, books and other mind-expanding<br />

activities.<br />

Whatever you, do not pooh pooh this plan or program.<br />

Discipline is essential for success. Ask anyone who had<br />

a lot of success and then lost it. They will tell you that<br />

at the core of it all, they lost themselves in indiscipline.<br />

All the Best to you in your endeavors!<br />

PHYSICAL<br />

a. WAKE UP BY 5AM -<br />

The early bird catches the worm. Besides it is<br />

the most peaceful time of the day<br />

b. Exercise or at least 20 minutes –<br />

No excuses here. It is too easy to sit in a<br />

chair all day. So go out and shoot some<br />

basketball outside, run a couple of laps<br />

around the neighborhood [a mile or 2] – or<br />

skipping.<br />

c. Do not eat after 6 pm –<br />

This is very hard, but you will sleep better,<br />

and naturally lose weight.<br />

d. Go to Sleep by 9 pm–<br />

8 Hours of sleep a night keeps you<br />

refreshed and your faculties at their highest.<br />

EMOTIONAL<br />

a. Cut out the people that are a drag on you –<br />

The world is full of negative and misdirected<br />

acquaintances. Disengage from them and<br />

ignore them.<br />

b. Help friends, family & people you love –<br />

Except when they bring you down, no<br />

exceptions.<br />

c. You do not owe any explanations –<br />

Explaining is draining.<br />

d. Always be honest –<br />
