Step-2 Making A Habit of Doing It Know

Procrastination leads to negative attitude

Complete task fulfilling /energizing, & incomplete task drains energy like
leak from tank.
Develop habit of doing it now.
Note: Habit of procrastinating fatigues you more than the effort it takes to do it

Wow! Right now!

Step-3 Develop An Attitude of Gratitude

Count blessings not troubles

Would you accept blindness, accident, illness for even millions of $s
We focused on complaining about things we do not have ???.
Lot to be thankful for. Many of our blessings are hidden treasure, so
count them.
Take time to smell the roses.

Step-4 Get Into Continuous Education Program

Intellectual Education vs. Values Education

Former influences head & later influences heart
Moral Education builds fundamental traits of character i.e. honesty,
courage, persistence & responsibility
We don't need academic education; we need values /ethical
education.
Education that not train heart can be dangerous.
Stress = Cortisol
Relaxed = Adaline

Step-5 Build Positive Self-Esteem

Self image & opinion of your self; how you see your self.
Feel about ourselves.
When feel well, our performance goes up.
There is a direct correlation between feeling & behavior

Step-6 Stay Away From Negative Influences

Teenagers learnt from adult behavior & media

Teenagers face pressures
Shows lack of self esteem when you dont have courage to say, No,
thank you to stay away from negative influences.
Smoking, Drug Abuse, Drinking Alcohol.

Step-7 Learn To Like Things That Need To Be Done

Some things requires to be done whether we like it or not.

Mother caring for kids not fun, but painful.
Learn to like the task, impossible becomes possible.
Start doing what is necessary, than what is possible, & suddenly you are
doing the impossible.

Step-8 Start Your Day With A Positive

After good nights sleep your minds relaxed & receptive
Beginning sets the tone of the day
Read/listen something positive in morning at first.
Practice positive thoughts & behavior daily until they become a habit.
