5 Surprisingly Underrated Habits of Super Successful People
[/b][/u]
No matter how innocuous your habits may seem, the reality is that these habits shape the course of your life.

Success is often no accident.

It requires patience, effort, and consistency. The most successful people know that the daily routines we have make up our journeys to success -- or towards failure. Today's leaders are aware that even the small habits someone has can leave a huge impact on the kinds of accomplishments achieved.

If your daily habits are in need of some fine-tuning, or your performance at work could use some improving, consider adopting these underrated habits successful people are known to practice.

1. Ask questions.
Don't be afraid of asking too many questions. Successful people stay curious, and they care about details and how things work. If there is something they are not sure about, or something they do not know, they ask for an explanation. Asking too many questions doesn't make you look stupid. In fact, you are more likely to look foolish if you don't ask enough.

2. Analyze feelings and emotions.
Successful people don't suppress their emotions. Although these leaders yield great results and are highly efficient, they are still human at the end of the day. Try regularly monitoring and managing your emotions. Be aware of how your emotions influence how you think and act, and understand that success will require you to sometimes keep your emotions at bay.

3. Stand up to inner critics.
It's easy to beat yourself up after making a mistake, isn't it? If you're looking to succeed, remember that self-compassion is something you should practice regularly. Forgive yourself for what goes wrong, and speak to yourself as if you were speaking to a loved one or close friend. Practicing compassion for yourself will help you become mentally strong and successful.

4. Say no.
Psychotherapist Amy Morin, author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do, says, "Every time you say yes to something, you're really saying no to something else." Practice setting and maintaining boundaries -- successful people know progress comes from saying yes to priority items and projects and no to those that aren't. Don't spread yourself too thin.

5. Leave the office.
Working from home might not be a bad idea. In fact, one 2016 survey revealed how the most innovative employees divide their time between in-office and remote work. The survey suggested the ideal proportion of the workweek that you should spend in the office is 80 percent. This leaves 20 percent -- or one entire workday each week -- outside the office.

Each day is comprised of hundreds of decisions and actions, which ultimately determine your levels of productivity. No matter how innocuous your habits may seem, the reality is that these habits shape the course of your life, professional or otherwise. Try examining your current habits, and see if you can experiment with new ones.
