Personal Rules

Give your feedback on Guru Habits here.
Thank you, Brad Paul

By Brad Paul

Some time ago I posted an article about creating a Personal User Manual (article) meant for distribution to key people in your life. I also wrote one on the rules of friendship (article). This article focuses on identifying rules you have for yourself — your personal rules.

I see the establishment of these personal rules for use as a navigator and a way to generate commitment. Choosing rules within categories might be the easiest and most efficient way to go about this. Here are ideas for personal rules in 12 key categories.

Personal rules

  • Keep integrity (article)
  • Take a stand on values
  • Stay humble

Courage

  • Do what you fear
  • Do it in spite of your fear
  • Focus on courage rewards (article)

  • Practice mindfulness
  • Maintain optimism (article)

Goals

  • Establish goals in all key areas
  • Visualize attaining goals frequently
  • Never give up (article)

Education

  • Maintain lifetime learning (article)
  • Take at least one course or seminar yearly
  • Read daily

Relationship

  • Boundaries are non-negotiable
  • Honesty is absolute requirement
  • Listen (article) carefully and expect same

Social

  • Choose your people (article)
  • Live your truth without exception
  • Treat everyone with respect

Diet

  • Maintain a plant-based diet (article)
  • Avoid highly processed “foods”
  • Avoid high sodium and high sugar “foods”

Fitness

  • Do aerobic exercise every day (article)
  • Do resistance exercises every other day
  • Do abdominal exercises every alternate day

Money

Contribution
