Little habits are so powerful in making your life exciting or simply better. There’s no doubt that habits make a lifestyle. If you know about the powers of habit, then you’re aware that if you do anything consistently for 21 days, it will become a habit, and if you do it for 90 days, it will become a lifestyle. We all acquire some habits, and acquiring good habits leads to a productive life. Let’s see 10 habits that can make your life productive and fulfilling.

1. Enough sleep. If you want to make the most of your day, then it’s necessary to get 6–8 hours of sleep. Waking up early is good, but I think it’s overrated. I don’t wake up early. People argue that it’s important for a successful life, but that’s not true. Waking up early shouldn’t be necessary, but getting the recommended amount of sleep is necessary. You can pick up the habit of waking up early if you want to; it’s good, but make sure you’re getting enough sleep.
2. Drinking 8 glasses of water. It’s a requirement, but making it a habit is good for your health and will help you function better. Starting your day with one or more glasses of water has proven to be beneficial for human health.
3. Making your bed Starting your day by making your bed gives you a sense of accomplishment, and it helps you work more productively throughout the day.
4. Cold shower. Although a hot shower is relaxing and calms your muscles, a cold shower has its benefits. A cold shower makes you active; it improves your blood circulation and helps with puffiness. You can skip it if you want to because it’s not for everyone and it’s not necessary.
5. Meditation/Mindfulness. If you’re giving your body a break, then you should give your mind one too. Starting your day with meditation or mindfulness will relax your mind and prepare you to deal with tasks.
6. Having a fulfilling and nutritional breakfast has numerous benefits. According to nutritionists, you can skip any meal of the day but breakfast. It’s the most important meal of the day, and it should be great.
7. Practice gratitude. Be thankful to yourself and others. You don’t owe anyone anything, and no one else owes you anything. So be positive and keep on moving.
8. Exercise regularly. A healthy body possesses a healthy mind. Regular exercise improves your stamina and keeps your body fit. In life, we face some situations where we require physical strength, so it’s better to be prepared.
9. Reading. Reading is a powerful habit. It keeps you aware of your surroundings and prepares your mind. A reader lives a thousand lives. It’s important to keep in mind that here I’m talking about self-help books and articles.
10. Journaling. Writing helps with anxiety, and it’s even better to journal about your days. In this way, you keep track of your life, which helps with emotions. Writing about your day and making a to-do list for the next few days makes your life productive.
