Change your habits, change your life

So simple and yet not...

We all know that our actions consist on many tiny habits and these habits, whether we know it or not, make up our life. All the small habits like picking up your phone every time you’re bored and need a distraction from reality to the big ones like managing your finances have either a negative or positive effect on how your life turns out. The outcome of your life is summed up by all the habits that we pick up or create. There are many ways we can create a habit too, either through anxiety, we start biting our nails, through trauma we hide or run away, it doesn’t really matter why they develop but it is certain that it is much easier to develop one than it is to stop one. I think this is because we never notice that we are building them, most of the time they are unintentional. This is how we live our life by default, without realization, by staying in the rat race and never changing on purpose. We do the same things, day in and day out. Buy the same cars, wear the same clothes, do the same jobs, go to school because that’s what people do, work a 9-5 because that’s what people do, go home and watch Netflix, eat food that isn’t good, crash on the couch with our phones in our hands. It’s the same for almost everyone. Those that recognize this though and realize that’s its far to important to develop habits on purpose have more control over their lives. Isn’t it better to live life on purpose anyway?
Through this community and learning about financial independence and literacy, I have begun to realize the importance of a mindset shift. We are born into a world that constantly tells us how life should be. As a kid we don’t get to choose, but not we are waking up. There’s a whole fleet of people arriving to this idea that this is not it. Being brainwashed into believe there is only one way to live life is no longer working. Most of us aren’t born rich, but that doesn’t mean we have to live in a world of lack. This world is gracious, beautiful, and giving. Crypto, NFTs, real estate, and investing have made it possible for many people to leave the rat race and change their lives entirely. People are quitting their jobs and doing more of what they love. People are spending more time with their families and traveling, finding new hobbies and passions. It’s such a beautiful time to be alive because we understand that there is more than one way to live life. We are leaving our comfort zones and the norm and moving towards something that can give us the freedom that we should have. This digital has created so many opportunities for people to be creative, innovative, and generous. I for one am so for it. I know that we have days before the new year so I jus wanted to throw out some habits and change them for some new ones. I hope that this can be applicable to your life in some way. I hope that you can take something from this. Crypto has taught me that it’s never to late to learn something new and to share that knowledge so that others may benefit. Sharing ideas that bring people together is beautiful. Everyone has their own reason for investing in crypto and stocks, and it’s deeper than making money. Being rich only amplifies the qualities that you already have, right? So, if you’re kind and generous, you’ll be able to be that even more. I believe that the majority of the people here have some type of goal or drive for a purpose or mission. Something that they are reaching towards in order to better themselves for the people around them and from then on to the community and others. So, here’s what I think will help make 2022 even better:

Miracle morning! Having a routine is super important, especially for someone like me that likes to go with the flow and is easily distracted but has a long to do list (to-do lists aren’t always super helpful or productive , I am learning that there is a difference between being busy and being productive, more on that later). I want to, and I will, solidify a morning routine. Wake up at 5 am ( my Instagram handle is 5ammarie after all) and do SAVERS. Start your day with silence, when you first wake up it’s good to take a moment, breathe, do a little meditation and set an intention for the day. Ditch checking your phone first thing because that can stir you off track so quickly. It’s a huge time suck if you lack control too. You want to start your day with calm clarity and peace of mind. Affirmations, words of encouragement is also a necessary habit to get into because we all have a horrible habit of speaking negatively, especially about ourselves, so even if it feels silly, say some affirmations out loud to yourself every morning. Visualize how you wan your day to go, goals you want to accomplish, if you are sick visualize feeling better and being healthy,etc. Exercise!! Wake up early enough to get this “out of the way” so you have no excuses for not having enough time. Also itll help wake you up and get your heart pumping. Reading first thing in the morning, after you have woken up alittle bit is a great idea as well. This will help you read more books and learn something. Last would be scribing, journaling has been known to help clear your mind. It has lots of other benefits too im sure. So the SAVERS from miracle morning will help create the foundation for a much more fulfilling day. I think that once this routine is down it will allow me more time to be effective in my work, whether that be learning crypto, actual work, chores, etc, it will help me to become clear on what I want to accomplish and focused. Committing to this routine is the first step to becoming successful, especially when it comes to Cyrpto. I truly believe that setting the tone for the day trickles into everything else that you do. My goal for 2022 is to become so comfortable talking about Cyrpto that I can feel good enough about option trading and buying NFTs and make a profit, maybe even to the point where I choose to work for fun, not because I have too.
Going to the gym!! Committing to working on myself includes fitness. Getting into shape is critical to physical health but also mental health. It would raise self confidence and self esteem. It’s important to feel good about your body because when it comes down to it I really is your first home. I think that taking care of it is a form of self-love. If you take care of your body it’ll take care of you. I would also love to take a martial arts class. I think that confidence is a game changer and feeling good about yourself improves all aspects of your life.
Having a creative hobby. Being able to play and heal your inner child is essential. As human beings we forget that being creative and imaginative is vital to coming up with new ideas. When we exercise our creative muscle we literally create new things, it challenges the brain, is good for the mind, keeps us healthy and happy. We are born to create things and experiment, play and have fun. Life doesn’t have to be serious all the time. I think it’s nice to make space for something that brings you joy that doesn’t have any other purpose. Although, when this kind of hobby can bring you money too then that’s just a little bonus. People are really into photography these days, creating art and now NFTS, music, writing, etc. There are so many ways to be creative and make a profit because it’s necessary in order to form connections and community.
In 2022, I make this promise to myself. I will say no more, like Steve Jobs and I will get focused and clear on the bigger picture. The one thing I can do everyday that will make my visions come true, I will do. Even if the first thing is finding out what that is. It’s a start. What are your goals for 2022? What do you hope to do with crypto? Why are you choosing to invest your time into learning more about blockchain and bitcoin? What is the bigger picture here? And what are the small steps that will help get you there? The habits that we create today build our tomorrow, so what does that look like for you? What were some things that happened in 2021 that you want to improve upon? Did you achieve your goals for 2021? How will you make sure to show up for yourself everyday in 2022? Now is the time to get a jumpstart on 2022. Now is the time to set the tone and the intention. Don’t wait for January 1st .Start today. Lets have a beautiful year 😊
