In this episode of the Warrior Mind Podcast I’m going to review the 10 habits of happy and successful people and how they affect personal performance.
If you want to make a real positive change in your life, you have to change your behavior. What this means for the vast majority of people is adopting new, more positive habits. It shouldn’t surprise you too much to learn that this is exactly what many of the most successful people have done to get where they are. In fact, their success often came right after taking up new habits which empowered them to attain their goals.
One thing which is very common among successful people is a set morning routine. Every new day offers a new opportunity to achieve and successful people generally aim to get as much done as they can every day. Here are 10 new habits and changes that you can begin incorporating into your life today to live happier and improve your chances of being a success in life.
10 Habit of Successful People
- Have a Morning Routine
When you have a regular morning schedule, it gives you a feeling of having control over your day. Knowing exactly what you have to do once you wake up helps you to have a sense of purpose which can keep you from being overwhelmed about what the day has in store for you. Think of a morning routine that works for you, write it down and stick with it, every day.
- Get Up Earlier
Like many successful people, entrepreneur (and Affordable Dissertation Wiz CEO) Michael Smith suggests getting up an hour or two earlier and making a habit of this. It literally gives you more time in your day as well as helping to foster confidence and motivation.
- Exercise Regularly
Regular workouts, especially early in the morning, are common among successful people. Given the many physical and mental benefits of exercise, it’s easy to see why. After exercising, you’ll have more energy, more confidence and your mood will improve thanks to elevated dopamine levels.
- Meditate
Another great early morning habit is meditation. You don’t need to take too much time to see the benefits either – as little as 15 minutes of daily meditation can make a very real difference in your physical and mental health, your productivity and your mood.
- Alone Time
How often do you take a little time for yourself to think about your own life? It’s something that successful people make a habit of. You may not think that you have time for this, but remember that these people are likely far busier than you are. There are a lot of distractions in our lives and by taking some time for yourself, you’ll be better prepared to stay on track towards your goals.

- Eat Right
You are what you eat, as the old saying goes. You’ll be much better prepared for a busy day when you start off by giving yourself the right fuel. Make healthy eating a habit, especially when it comes to breakfast.
- Plan Ahead
Planning is key to almost every success story. Set both long-term and daily goals; you may want to put together a to-do list for the day as part of your morning routine. Being able to see the items on your list being checked off one by one will help motivate you to keep going and achieve even more before the day is through.
- Prioritize
The best way to approach a long list of tasks is to tackle the most difficult one first (since more often than not, it’s also the most important thing on your list). Once that’s out of the way, everything else should be a snap.
- Be Grateful for what you have
Gratitude is a very powerful thing. When you remember the things that you have and that you’ve achieved, it can reduce stress and help you to overcome disappointment. The morning is a great time to do this. Consider writing down a list of the things that you’re grateful for every day. If you do this, you’ll be surprised by just how much more positive you’ll feel.
- Visualize Success
Many successful people practice visualization; this is imagining exactly what being successful will be like for you. Conjure up the clearest possible picture in your mind and recall it each and every day. This will connect you to your goals on a deep, emotional level which will help you stay driven to achieve success.
Conclusion
It’s true – there is a “secret” to success: thinking and acting like successful happy people do. By adopting these habits and reprogramming your mindset, you can, with time and effort, also become successful. The behaviors of successful people can be modeled. It’s not impossible to achieve your goals. You have a road map to success which is available to everyone. All you have to do is make the decision to follow it!
