This post is all about 25 of the top and best habits from the most happy, successful and wealthy women I know and have read about.
No matter how tough things are there will always be people prospering - Barbara Stanny, author of Secrets of Six Figure Women.
I found an old journal entry where I had taken notes on some of the advice I have been given, I have read about in books or watched on interviews and Ted Talks. I compiled this list last year but felt it was appropriate to share on the blog with you. I also recorded a podcast episode to further explain each one so that you can begin to hold these in your mind and thoughts. Feel free to share this list with your girlfriends and women in your life, we can all benefit from these. Numbers 11 and 25 I find to be my favorites and most effective.
In addition to reading this post, you can listen to this episode of the blissfully ambitious podcast…
25 of the TOP habits of happy, successful + wealthy women that you should adopt
1. SHE PRIORITIZES MOVING HER BODY TO HAVE GOOD ENERGY AND A CLEAR MIND
Almost every successful woman I’ve ever heard interviewed notes that she exercises at least 3-4 times a week. Exercising, whether by going to the gym, swimming, running, yoga or doing some pilates, is a must. It is so important for successful women to move their body regularly because it has been scientifically proven to boost your mood and motivates you to start the day with a positive, motivated and healthy mindset.
It helps to build confidence by being consistent and prioritizing on personal health and overall wellness. Health is wealth as they say.
An easy way to stay consistent with working out is a great new pair of workout shoes and workout leggings that fit like a dream. I also like to hang my workout sets on hangers so they look organized and put together. I also have a gym bag prepared so its easy. I love these:
2. SHE GETS AT LEAST 7-8 HOURS OF SLEEP EVERY NIGHT.
I’ve always noted that key to a strong morning routine is an even better night routine and preparing for an exceptional night of sleep. Sleeping it’s very important for your mental, emotional and physical health. Most successful women stick to a sleep schedule and tend to stick to a consistent bedtime so they are able to be as productive and efficient as possible throughout the day. Paying attention to your personal circadian rhythm is incredibly important to your energy.
A few tips that make getting a great night sleep more enjoyable. Pretty pajamas that feel so comfortable and incredibly soft, a hatch sound machine and breathable bedding. Here’s what I love:
3. SHE NOURISHES HER BODY WITH HEALTHY FOODS BECAUSE IT MAKES HER FEEL BETTER AND MORE ENERGETIC.
A healthy diet is important to every successful woman since it makes her feel better inside and out and also less tired. It is not only a matter of maintaining a certain weight but about boosting your mood and feeling really good about yourself.
I’ve always been a proponent for slow, intuitive eating because when you listen to your body, it will let you know what it is craving, what foods are really nourishing and what is good for you to be feeding it. I am also a proponent for meal prep planning to stay consistent.
4. SHE SAYS AT LEAST FIVE TO TEN MORNING AFFIRMATIONS TO START THE DAY RIGHT.
As a manifestation minded woman, affirmations are an essential part of life. Many celebrities from Jennifer Anniston to Jennifer Lopez and mindset gurus like Lewis Howes and Tony Robbins promote mindset work and consistent affirmations.
A successful woman’s routine will always include daily affirmations since it helps her start the day with positive vibes and with the right motivation to take action and achieve her daily goals. These are my 30 favorite wealth affirmations. Affirmations are also the best way to manifest success and peace during your day.
I have post-its on my wall in my office and on my get ready mirror to help me, too. For now, check out my list of 30 money affirmations that got me to 10k months ebook for FREE. Download it here.
5. SHE ALWAYS PLANS HER OUTFITS THE NIGHT BEFORE SO SHE CAN LOOK HER BEST
Looking presentable is important to make a good impression and to feel confident enough to show up with one hundred percent to everything you planned for. Some of the most happy and successful women I know are meticulous about their closets and their personal style. So, setting out and planning outfits the night before help to not waste time and reduces the chances of stressing out in the morning.
Looking good and presentable can motivate you to take action quickly and give you enough confidence to get things done. So, the successful woman is always working on looking effortlessly beautiful and elegant, even on a super lazy day. This is something my grandmother modeled for me very well.
6. SHE BEGINS AND ENDS HER DAY WITH JOURNALING AS A FORM OF MEDITATION
Meditation is an important part of a successful woman’s morning and night routine in order to clear her mind and calm her spirit. She uses methods like the morning pages to clear out her mind of any limiting or draining thoughts. She may also use scripting as a method of gaining clarity of the life she is trying to create for herself.
7. SHE PRIORITIZES PEOPLE, PLACES AND THINGS THAT UPLIFT & MOTIVATE HER
I could really sum this up with one word, boundaries. A positive minded, happy and successful woman knows the importance of setting boundaries. Surrounding herself with people who bring her energy up, not drain or deplete her. She allows negative or draining people to fade out of her daily interactions without fear or guilt. If you bring any toxicity to her life, you will get quickly replaced.
8. SHE IS ALWAYS PUNCTUAL & DOES WHAT SHE SAYS
This is an extremely important habit you should follow if you want to be a successful woman. Punctuality is so, so important for a successful woman because she wants to create a solid reputation with all of her relationships. If you are always late or flaking on commitments, it can look disrespectful and show poor communication skills. You shouldn’t waste anybody’s time by making them wait for you. It’s selfish and irresponsible and its very important to build a strong word that others can rely and depend on. This will lend very well to all business/career relationships and endeavors.
9. SHE CREATES A POSITIVE AND CLEAN ENVIRONMENT BEFORE WORKING.
My entire blog has always been dedicated to creating a high vibrational home and most importantly the workspace. Many successful women are now working from home so the home work environment is pivotal to her success. Organizing and streamlining the workspace can help boost productivity, creativity and efficiency. Read these tips on how to feng shui your work space.
10. SHE IS ALWAYS DOING RESEARCH AND LEARNING
She is a daily researcher. Everything she doesn’t know, she investigates and learns about. Intrigue and curiosity are what help women become successful and smart. She knows that her wisdom is her wealth and is an investment in herself.
11. SHE IS CONSISTENT WITH HER HABITS.
One of the most important secrets of successful women is that they are extremely consistent. They don’t give up or do anything halfway. Commitment and integrity are two values that go a long way when it comes to building a beautiful life.
12. SHE SPENDS QUALITY TIME WITH QUALITY PEOPLE.
Even though there’s too much work to get done, successful women always make time for family and friends since it’s a way of disconnecting, relaxing, and laughing with loved ones.
We are social animals. We need to socialize with people for our mental and physical health. Don’t let work take all your time. Learn to balance your life and always spend time with your family and closest friends.
13. SHE PRIORITIZES EFFICIENCY OVER QUANTITY.
She prefers doing a few things really well than doing a lot of things half assed. One of the most foundational keys to success is truly understanding how to choose quality over quantity.
Remember, people don’t care about how much you offer but the value and quality of what it is that you’re offering.
A successful woman is always aware of her finances. She doesn’t spend on things that are not worth the money or are simply the result of an impulse of the moment. She doesn’t overspend on useless things, she plans out her purchases and makes the wise decision.
14. SHE IS ALWAYS FINDING SOLUTIONS AND IS ALWAYS PREPARED.
Successful women don’t concentrate on the problem but they focus on the solution. If there’s an inconvenience or an obstacle, she is already thinking of multiple solutions to overcome whatever it may present.
AND she prepares and plans for the next time that may happen.
15. SHE HAS AMAZING SELLING AND MARKETING SKILLS.
A successful woman has learned throughout the years how to sell anything she wants and also knows when someone is trying to sell her something.
16. SHE PRACTICES THE ART OF NOT CARING WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK.
She couldn’t care less about what people think or do.
A successful woman is focused on herself, and she doesn’t care if she has the support of others or not. She does what she can to believe in herself, build trust within herself so she doesn’t seek validation or feedback from others. She knows that her soul and inner guidance always knows what is best for her.
17. SHE KNOWS HOW TO SOCIALIZE AND TALK TO PEOPLE.
Successful women have learned how to socialize and talk to everyone. They are experts in selling and sharing wisdom so that others can benefit from knowing her, and she does it with elegance and kindness.
18. SHE WORKS ON HER CREATIVITY AND ALWAYS TRIES TO BUILD SOMETHING UNIQUE.
Creative and brilliant ideas are every woman’s superpower. Continually taking herself out on creative dates are key to a flowing and flourishing creative mind. Here’s an article on 101 artist date ideas.
19. SHE DOESN’T GET INTIMIDATED BY FAILURE OR COMPETITION.
The competition doesn’t intimidate a successful woman but motivates her even more, and failure it’s a bullet she is willing to take after having tried many, many times.
20. SHE TAKES LONG WALKS & LONG BATHS TO RELAX AND THINK OF NEW IDEAS.
Long walks are very beneficial for your creativity and mental health. Walking helps you think more calmly and thoroughly. It also puts your brain in deep meditative states like alpha and beta. These brain states are highly effective at calming the monkey mind so brilliant and creative ideas can come through. Same thing for creating time and space to take long bubble baths.
21. SHE KNOWS WHEN IT’S TIME TO RELAX AND STOP WORKING.
A successful woman knows that being overwhelmed and exhausted will only keep her stagnant, so setting up time for rest and self care is a priority. She schedules her time effectively so when it is time to stop working, she actually stops and focuses on her personal life.
22. SHE KNOWS HOW TO PLAN & ORGANIZE HER TIME, EFFICIENTLY & EFFECTIVELY.
She sets up structures that help her make the best, most efficient use of her time. If she is cooking or organizing her room, she will listen to business podcasts to learn from other people’s business experiences and also to learn new strategies and information for her own.
23. SHE STEPS OUTSIDE HER COMFORT ZONE DAILY
Successful Women are always taking risks and thinking out of the box, and that’s why they are successful. The more comfortable she is with taking risks, the better she gets at her business and personal life.
24. SHE IS FOCUSED ON INVESTING IN HERSELF IN ADDITION TO FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS.
She is constantly learning and finding ways to invest her money on. Successful women have their money invested in many different business areas, such as real estate, stocks, and many more. Most successful women has multiple streams of income.
Once money is made, knowing where to invest that money can also help to grow wealth. If you want to know what are the best investments right now for any age and income, this article from nerdwallet.com is perfect to get started.
25. SHE CONSTANTLY VISUALIZES & THINKS ABOUT THE LIFE SHE WANTS TO ACHIEVE.
She always visualizes (and at the same time manifests) the life of her dreams. Visualizing the results of your work and the life of your dreams is the best way to keep you going and to achieve whatever goal you’ve set.
Visualizing is one of the key factors in manifestation and NLP reprogramming of the mind. Practicing this technique is a consistent habit whether it is creating a systematic vision board or visualizing in meditation.
