12 guidelines that will increase the effectiveness of your days.
///Thread\\\
For many years now, I have pulled together a list of life rules or guidelines to help me each day.
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 each day 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 end up taking actions aligned with the best version of who you want to be.
Kick start your days and improve your chances of success by creating your own list of 10 to 12 life rules.
You won't regret it.

Ask yourself:
Do you feel like you are constantly chasing the dopamine hit of a win?
Do you feel like you do things because of other's expectations?
Do you do things just to beat people?
If you answered yes to any of those, you could be in the Success Trap
Let’s take a look...
Behind every victory is the desire for the next one, and that can be a good thing if you have good goals linked to a purpose.
But maybe for you, every success just makes you want more.
In reality, there is no peak to success; the climb towards the next one can become addictive.
You love to make things complicated, and it's not your fault.
But you need to stop; let's find out how.

We are the cause of most of our complicated issues in life.
When faced with two competing options, we are more likely to choose the more complex option even if there is a simple choice available.
Welcome to complexity bias...
To beat it, you 1st need to understand why you do it
Complexity bias is our tendency to look at something easy to understand and then see it as having many difficult parts, or, we may view it as more complex while in a confused or stressed state
