2. Know thy Body Mass Index (BMI)
Is your weight in the normal range? Good!
Not in the normal range? Work on it!
Remember that people fitter than you probably had better excuses than you did.
Stop watching inspirational transformation videos, add your own video to that list!

4. Invest
Since the industrial revolution, it's been clear that companies will GROW!
Take part in some of these success stories. If you don't have time to monitor stock markets, let a mutual fund do it for you.
Savings bank interest rates won't fund your retirement life

5. Find a creative pursuit
Besides your day job, what do you get praised for on a recurring basis?
Make that thing a part of your routine. Don't let it go. Sing, write, run, take up the martial art, book that ticket to Hawaii
Reward yourself with experiences that you love.

6. Get involved in your community
I'm sure you have many complaints about the area you live in. Garbage, noise, bad roads?

You'll build rewarding networks in this process.

Speaking to a counselor is for everyone.
Just like a walk refreshes the body, talking about your mental health with a trained practitioner makes your mind calmer & wiser.

8. Know your parents
Who are you? Where did you come from? Get curious about your parent(s).
My father learned the cycle in 20 minutes when a stranger asked him to watch his cycle. I still can't cycle.
My mom caught snakes when she was 12. I'm glad I've never encountered one.

9. Help others
What can you offer to the world? Is it money, time, or labour?
Don't hold back. We live in a community and someone always needs some help.
Start somewhere.
Example: A 2019 Lancet study found that at 41m units, India has the world's highest shortage.
Donate!

10. Be kind with others, demand more from yourself
Be it your team at work or your family, be patient with your clan. Forgive readily. Embrace flaws.
Set the highest standards for yourself. Allow for failures, but get back at it again.

11. Don't set goals, perfect processes
Everyone running a 100m race has the same goal - to win. But there's only one winner.
The winner perfected the process of training and execution.
Build a cadence of good habits.
This I owe to @JamesClear . Read his book Atomic Habits
