Always be positive, stop getting worried, and start enjoying

The thought that we should know everything before we start something is a total waste of time. It seems like this world is fast-paced, and we have so much to worry about, but we should stop worrying and start living for the future.

We should not think too much about our mistakes because they are a part of us. We don’t need to learn from them because we already did that. When we think about our past events, our mind starts diverting to negative thoughts and blocking the positivity in our life. So, we should try to be positive and strong and don’t think about bad experiences.

Learn to say ‘No’

Say yes too often without considering what you are saying yes to, and you may end up with too many assignments, conflicting priorities, and unhealthy stress levels. Saying ‘no’ gives you a chance to focus on what’s important and your priority. When you say yes, you are taking on additional responsibilities.

When we are asked to do everything, we are not doing everything. We tend to be people pleasers and over-extended, thanks to our society’s culture of doing more.

Learning how to say no gracefully is an art that is essential for a flourishing career.

Start your day well (Platinum 30)

Your day’s beginning should be good because it determines how you’ll be your entire day. Robin named the first 30 minutes after waking up as Platinum 30.

According to Robbin, in those 30 minutes, your thoughts are purest. If you creatively live those 30 minutes every day, your life will be changed.

The outline of Robin Sharma’s Platinum 30

• After waking up, practice the renewal activities in the personal space without getting disturbed.
• Spend 15 minutes focusing on the positive things in your life.
• Pick up a book from your shelf that can help you lead a successful life.

There are many great genius personalities in the world, and they all are inspired and motivated by the goal of improving their and others’ lives. Robin Sharma gives some suggestions when you feel de-motivated:

• Read a book
• Watch fascinating movie
• Listen to good music
• Go to public speaking

These activities tend to inspire you in daily life. That’ll raise your aspirations to new heights.

Focus on quality, not the quantity of sleep

All should focus on the quality of sleep, not the quantity because it doesn’t matter whether you sleep 8 hours or 9 hours long. If your sleep quality is not good, those hours of sleep will get wasted.

Robin Sharma gives some advice that how you can improve your quality of sleep.

• Don’t eat anything after 8 PM, have an early meal
• Make sure not to remind yourself of the activities of the entire day while going to sleep
• Don’t read anything and watch the news in bed

Avoid negative thoughts (they can kill you)

Robin Sharma explains to avoid negative thoughts with a famous quote ‘ Chita burns the dead body while Chinta burns the living. ‘

Chita: Funeral pyre

Chinta: To think negative or worry

It teaches us that we should focus on fully living our lives because our negative thinking can kill us. As time passes, we are moving toward death. Negative thinking can move us towards death more likely soon. Because our body reacts negatively to negative thoughts, it can create stress in our body, which may result in many diseases, such as heart problems and hypertension.
