How to Use Your Clever Fox Weekly Planner Properly
Be Grateful for What You Have, Think About What You Love to Do, and Learn New Habits and Skills
- Gratitude is an immensely powerful force that we can use to increase our happiness, relationships, and productivity, and even to improve our health.
- Life is short. You need to find what you’re passionate about, and what makes you excited to get out of bed every day.
- Achieving your goals is not the result of a one-off transformation—rather, it is the product of daily habits. We become what we repeatedly do.
- Affirmations are a proven method of self-improvement because of their ability to purify our thoughts and to restructure the dynamic of our brains so that we truly begin to believe that nothing is impossible.
