Daily Good Habits! 100 good habits to change your lifestyle!
Today I have a list of 100 daily good habits to revolutionize your days with healthy and positive ways.
“All very nice, huh. What you offer us are certainly interesting strategies, but unfortunately, for me they are useless: I have no goal. “
I have by now lost count of the times when I read this sentence (or its variants) in the comments of my readers.
Reading it makes me feel a mix of sadness and anger …
- Sadness: Because the absence of goals implies the lack of any direction in the existence of these people and a dangerous tendency to nihilism.
- Anger: Because I fear that these people (often young) have already decided to give up in life, giving up the possibility of discovering each day what their real potential is, how far they can go with mind, body and spirit, and what they can achieve extraordinary if only they decided to concentrate all their energies on a first cursed goal.
I wish I could grab these disillusioned readers and shake them from their self-inflicted spell … but in order to avoid some complaints, I just share with them a piece of advice that has proven to be fundamental in my own path of personal growth.
Give that first push to the snowflake
If like those readers, you too have difficulty finding a direction in your life, start by giving yourself a goal, any goal, something you would like to achieve, a good habit that you would like to train.
It does not matter. The first thing that comes to mind is fine, but dedicate your body and soul.
By doing so you will give the first push to the “snowflake”, triggering a virtuous circle.
Once you discover that you can achieve what you want, because you have decided it, you will start enjoying it.
Not only.
You will also want to better explore what your real desires are, what you want to be and become in life.
So let’s give this first push to the snowflake!
In this article, I have listed 100 daily good habits for you to start your new life in a positive way.
Don’t worry, you don’t have to set them all or all together!
Remember: choose a first goal, any one, the one that will have inspired you most at the end of this article and focus 100% on adopting this new behavior in your life.
As you adopt new healthy and positive habits, as you reach your first goals, one after the other, you will start to connect the dots and the direction you want to go in your life will become increasingly clear.
Are you ready?

If you want to know how to form these habits and you want to find out which of these 100 daily good habits (and in general of all the habits you can change in your life) is the most important one for you to start FOR YOU, read on …
To establish new good habits and abandon bad habits it is certainly important to know the “mechanics of habits” (the signals, the gratifications, the external environment and beautiful company), but if we continue to ignore the “emotional component” that governs our decisions, we will never be able to continue these new behaviors constantly.
I bet you too have come up against the “wall of your emotions” every time you have decided to change something in your life, fire?!
Fortunately there is a solution, a method for forming new habits that, in addition to taking advantage of the most innovative and effective techniques relating to the “mechanical” part, also takes care of the “emotional” part of our habits and does it by working at a deeper level and making change … inevitable.
