Your Habits Determine Your Future

People do not decide their futures,
they decide their habits
and their habits decide their futures.

F.M. Alexander


Habits are the way you embody identity.
True behavior change is really identity change.

James Clear


1. Troubleshoot your current situation. Analyze, strategize and take action. What blockages do you have? What is the repeating pattern in your life?
2. Combine dreaming with action.
3. Transformation never stops. It's a lifestyle. 
4. Invest your time in things that elevate you. 
5. Avoid naysayers. 
6. Healthy habits.
7. Surround yourself with people of good quality.

When setting out on a journey, do not
seek advice from those who never left home.

Rumi


Take care of yourself
- Create a skin care routine; body and face.

Emotional balance

Watch what you say about yourself

People tend to believe that our actions
and habits stem from our beliefs.
But it's actually the other way around. 
Our habits shape our beliefs.
