A Better Life In Easy Steps
Want a better life? Big changes are difficult, and take time,
but there are many easy steps you can take right now. Take many
steps, even small ones, and pretty soon you're getting somewhere.
A Better Life Today
It's easy just to look, right? Start looking for specific ways
to make your life better, and to improve yourself. Even if you
don't accomplish anything immediately, you are preparing
yourself. Thinking about change sets your mind and your
motivation in motion.
You're not looking for an excuse to avoid difficult tasks, but
you wouldn't expect to quit cigarettes, alcohol, caffeine and
complaining all at once, right? Just make things better today,
in any small way. Seeing results will motivate you for the more
difficult steps. Consider some of the following simple actions.
1. Write down some things you'd like to change. This makes the
possibility more real, and gets your mind working. Eventually
you can make this "wish list" into real goals, with a specific
plan.
2. Close your eyes and breath deeply through your nose,
whenever you feel stressed. Stress is one of the biggest
impediments to a better life. Simple stress-manangemnet
techniques like this can help a lot, if you make them a habit.
3. List the good things you've got. This may seem trite,but a
good mood makes life better. Ever buy a van and start seeing
vans everywhere? The same thing happens when you buy an idea.
Imagine how it will affect your frame of mind to start seeing
good things everywhere.
I could go on, but I don't know what your goals and needs are.
The point here is to get you thinking, and then taking whatever
actions you can. If you thought about the whole process, you
might never build a house, but it's easy to nail one board in
place, right? (And then one more, and one more...)
