It is being to detach yourself from the outside world and connect to your inner self.

Continuous learning
Successful people do not settle. They always strive to become better versions of themselves. They see themselves as learning machines and that the more they become knowledgeable about things, the more they become successful. They always read books, listen to podcasts, read blogs, follow people they can learn from, etc.

Plan ahead
Successful people do not waste a minute of their time. They like to plan and schedule everything ahead of time so they can make the most of their time.

Successful people know exactly how valuable time is. And one of the reasons they plan their day is for them to have extra time to do what they love and spend time with the people they love. For them, planning is the key to work-life balance.

Unplug and recharge

They unplug from work, from social media, from thousands of emails, etc. to prioritize themselves when they feel like they need it.

Spend time with family
Staying motivated and inspired is vital for successful people and family and loved ones are definitely on top of it. They always find time to enjoy life with family and friends. And the number reason why they stay successful is that they know how to balance work and life.

Give back
They say you can only tell when a person is successful when he/she helps other people succeed. This is exactly why successful people always give back to others. It may be in terms of service, donations, doing projects for the benefit of others, etc. Being of service to others is something that really successful people do.

Being grateful
To create more success and abundance, one should be grateful. Successful people recognize that they cannot achieve success alone. They recognize the people around them who helped them achieve their status in life and they are appreciative of them. They find ways to express their gratitude in different ways they can.
