1. Make your Bed every single day: Yes it may sound simple and it may also sound stupid, but this a great advice I received. Start every day by making your bed, a very simple yet effective task.
My best friend advised me this, she said if you do not have the simple discipline of making your bed everyday then you are the most laziest person.
Then I even saw about this advice from other sources too. Charles Duhigg wrote about this habit in his book "The Power of Habit". He writes “Making your bed every morning is correlated with better productivity, a greater sense of well-being, and stronger skills at sticking with a budget,”.
You can also watch this commencement address by Navy seal William H. McRaven. He says "If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed,''.

2. Read: Read everyday, be it a newspaper, an article, a book, Magazine, a Journal. Reading has multiple benefits. It will improve vocabulary, you will see issues from various angles.
Reading has also shown a lot benefits like improving your memory, having strong analytical skills, building self esteem and understanding various cultures and customs. Reading also increases your concentration.
3. Eat Properly: As one quote says "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper!". There have been even studies to prove this thing. Having a proper breakfast and a lighter dinner can help you deal with weight loss and obesity.

4. Relax: Relax everyday. Make time for yourself, just sit down and relax your mind. I am not asking you to do meditation or yoga, well if you can do that then well, if not atleast just try and relax and just ponder over your thoughts.
This not a new discovery, New York times had an article published in 1986 explaining the benefits of relaxing.

Apart from relaxing I want to add, just let things go. Having revenge inside would only hurt you the most.
5. Make lists: Yes this is really important for making your life simpler and more productive. Yes write down everything you want to do. The places you want to visit, the activities you want to do, the books you want to read. This helps in tracking your dreams.
Once you finish the activity it gives you the sense of achievement. It will lead to some very good changes in your life. I made many lists and I plan my holidays and plan my savings around those lists.
