Our daily habits play a huge role in shaping our success, happiness, and overall well-being. And so, by mastering the 4 Rs in our life, namely– Routine, Relationships, Reactions, and Rest– we can take charge of our lives and transform it for the better. When we consciously regulate these four Rs we can unlock the power to have a more fulfilling, balanced, and purposeful life. Read on to learn how:
1. Have control over your routine
Have you ever noticed how most successful people in the world have certain fixed morning habits that help them start their day on the right note? Be it waking up early, meditating, exercising, reading or focusing on their health and diet– successful people work on these things every morning. This not only helps them have healthy habits but also stick to a schedule which keeps them ahead of others.
2. Have control over your reactions
Practising self-awareness, or journaling daily– are some of how one can reflect regularly on their thoughts, feelings, and actions. This helps one learn from mistakes and grow as a person. And, as one grows as a person they should also learn to react less and respond more. That’s how most successful people deal with the ups and downs of life. And so, having control over your thoughts and actions can help you transform yourself and your life for the better.
3. Have control over your relationships
It is often said that your company determines your success in life, and rightly so. Having a good support system of friends and family has a huge impact on one’s life. It is only when one has a happy personal life, that they can focus well on other aspects of their life– like work or health. And so, creating and maintaining strong relationships with others is quite important in life. Communicating openly, spending quality time with loved ones, expressing your appreciation for others often, resolving conflicts often, and supporting each other’s growth are some of the ways in which one can improve their relationships with others.
4. Have control over your rest
Taking multiple short breaks during work, resting your mind through meditation, avoiding screen time before bed, creating a calming bedtime routine, and prioritising 7-8 hours of sleep– these are some of the ways one can give rest to their body, mind and soul. While there is no substitute to hard work when it comes to success, having proper rest every day is equally important. And the earlier one understands and incorporates this in their life the better.
