वो कौन सी 5 आदतें क्या हैं जो मेरे जीवन को बेहतर बना सकती हैं?

कभी मल्टीटास्क न करें। एक समय में एक कार्य पर ध्यान लगाओ। यदि आप एक ही बार में अधिक काम करते हैं, तो आप सभी काम पर ध्यान नहीं दे पाएंगे! 2. अनजाने लोगों से कभी बहस न करें। आप कुछ भी पूरा नहीं करेंगे और अपना समय बर्बाद करेंगे, साथ ही आप बहुत निराश हो जाएंगे। 3. कभी भी गपशप में शामिल न हों। ऐसे लोग हैं जो दूसरे लोगों की पीठ पीछे बात करना पसंद करते हैं और इस बारे में बात करते हैं कि दूसरे लोग क्या करते हैं, कैसे रहते हैं, कितना बनाते हैं, आदि। यह सब व्यर्थ ऊर्जा और समय है। 4. कभी भी आवेगी निर्णय न लें। सो जाओ और अगले दिन अपना फैसला करें जब आप शांत हों और आप एक उद्देश्यपूर्ण दिमाग के साथ अपने जोखिमों की गणना करने में सक्षम हों। 5. कभी भी गुस्से में बिस्तर पर न जाएं। जिस प्रियजन या मित्र के साथ आपका तर्क था, उसके साथ शांति बनाने की कोशिश करें। रीसर्च के अनुसार, "नींद के दौरान, मस्तिष्क नकारात्मक यादों को संग्रहीत करने के तरीके को पुनर्गठित करता है, जिससे भविष्य में इन संघों को दबाने के लिए कठिन हो जाता है।" Source : Sunny Sahni
