We ALL know the power of habits — so I won’t waste your time rehashing it.

Instead, I’ll share the 3 most powerful habits I’ve ever built — in a quick “What, Why, How” framework to save you time.

Even if you build no other habit, these 3 alone will ensure a successful & happy life.

#1 — The Gateway Drug To Self-Improvement

1.1 — What?

Working out to build a strong, aesthetic, and athletic physique.

1.2 — Why?

• On the physical side — You’ll look great in any (or no) clothes. Optimal hormones. Max energy levels. Peak attention from the opposite sex. Respect from the get-go.
• On the mental side — It’ll work wonders for your self-esteem, confidence, discipline, work ethic, and positivity.
• Best of all? It blasts open the doors to all-around self-improvement — relationships, productivity, God, social skills, and earning wealth.

P.S. I’ve documented my entire journey from skinny and awkward to muscular and charismatic. If that sounds interesting, read it for free here.

1.3 — How?

• The Best Way: Join a gym. Start with one of the free Aesthetic Vault’s workout routines. Refer to the free Aesthetic Muscle-Building Guide for inspiration and guidance along your fitness journey.
• Good Way: Master working out at home with the free Full Home-Workout Guide. Start off with the free 15-Min-Bod routine.
• Okay Way: Work out 15 minutes daily 3–4x a week with the free 15-Min-Bod routine.

#2 — A Cliche But Still Ignored Superpower

2.1 — What?

Meditation, aka going deep within your Self — not “sitting and concentrating,” as pop gurus say.

2.2 — Why?

Meditation alters the very field of your mind & reality — its benefits are near-infinite.

• Physical benefits: Calmer, deeper voice. Erect posture. Precise words and actions. A powerful, indescribable aura.
• Mental benefits: Higher stress tolerance. Lower anxiety & depression. More peace. The ability to stay calm under pressure. Act, not react.
• Spiritual benefits: God — you’ll find your God and touch divine/cosmic consciousness. This leads to radically better life choices, actions, and words.

Meditation’s superpower doesn’t become apparent until you actually meditate! Then, it becomes a drug you can’t get enough of.

2.3 — How?

• The Best Way: Do a specialized meditation course — Vipassana is undisputedly #1. AOL’s Sahaj is #2. Both have worldwide centers — check here and here.
• Good Way: Enroll in regular meditation classes nearby — prefer offline > online.
• Okay Way: Start with guided meditations. Videos >> apps. Goenka ji’s Anapana, Bhanu Didi’s Sahaj, and Roy’s Kriya meditations are great.

#3 — The Quickest Habit on This List

3.1 — What?

Bullet journaling, aka faster journaling for busy, realistic, & practical folks.

3.2 — Why?

Bullet journaling is a deceptively simple habit with unbelievable long-term results.

• By structuring each day, it eliminates procrastination and decision fatigue.
• Through daily prioritization, it helps you internalize your priorities and get high-priority work done.
• The gratitude component helps you grow more thankful — and happier.

BJ isn’t an overnight-change habit — it’s a compounding habit that creates true alchemy over weeks, months, and years,

3.3 — How?

• The Best Way: Journal by hand with the 2-Minute Paperback Journal — or any other bullet journal you like. A regular notebook can work — but it won’t be as easy, quick, or efficient as the 2-Minute Bullet Journal.

P.S. Pen-and-paper journaling is scientifically proven to be more therapeutic and powerful than digital journaling.

• Good Way: Journal digitally with Notion using the free 2-Minute Bullet Journaling Template.
• Okay Way: When in a hurry, bullet-journal mentally, on a paper scrap, or with a note-taking app.

Before You Say, “Bah! These Habits Are Cliche”…

They’re cliche because they WORK — unlike the 2-minute feel-good hacks everywhere online.

Optimizing mind, body, work, and soul — these 3 habits ensure holistic self-improvement and success.

Don’t take my word for it — start them, and you’ll see for yourself.

Godspeed and Regards,
