Here are 15 habits you should incorporate into your life that will make you unbeatable.
1. Wake up early
The morning is when you are most productive and can cross the most off your to-do list. It may be hard to get up early and start the day right away instead of lounging in your pajamas. But just remember: the earlier you wake up, the earlier you can justify crawling back into bed at night.
2. Drink water

4. Shower regularly
It is amazing what a shower, clean clothes and a little makeup can do to make you feel better. The type of clothes you wear can say a lot about the type of day you will have. For example, wearing sweats all day can make you feel lazier while a nice shirt and jeans can give you that push to get out of the house and socialize.
