Ten Ways To Change Your Life TODAY!
When it comes to changing your life, it can seem like it will take
years before you actually make substantial changes. You might feel like giving
up before you even get started.
What you need is a way to kick start the changes that you want to
make in your life – and here are ten ways to get started today.
#1 Change Your Routine
One of the simplest ways to start improving and changing your life
is to change something that you’ve always done. And it doesn’t have to even be
related to the goal that you have in mind.
When you want to make changes in your life, you want to get the
ball rolling somehow. To get that momentum going, try changing small things in
your life today.
For example, have you ever driven to work and not remembered how
you’ve gotten there? Not only is this a scary notion, but it also can be a
great lesson in being aware of your surroundings and how they’re getting in the
way of your self-improvement.
Here are some simple ways to change up your routine today:
Take a new route to work
Eat a meal during a different time of day (i.e. eat breakfast at
dinnertime)
Change the order of your exercise routine
Get up earlier or later than you normally do
Do different chores around the house or ignore chores that you
always do
The point of this exercise is to realize that while we might feel
comfortable in our lives, it’s that comfort and that ‘settling’ that might be
getting in the way of the changes that we want to make.
Start the changes right now by changing other, not-as-important
parts of your life. You may be surprised at how different the world looks and
much more likely you are to believe that bigger changes are indeed possible.
#2 Look in your closet
In
Feng Shui decorating principles, when you use certain colors and positions of
furniture in your
house, you can affect greater changes in your life. Taking this idea a step
further, when you want
to change something about your life for the better, doesn’t it make sense to
start changing your
surroundings?
A
simple way to do this (without spending your money redecorating your house) is
to simply change your
appearance for a day.
You
can do this by simply getting out of your clothing rut and trying something
that is completely unlike you. For example, if you wear black all the time, try
wearing a bright and boisterous color. If you’re someone that likes to wear
colorful outfits, try something more toned down.
The
point is to approach your outfit as you would your life – by changing it.
Your
outward appearance can make your feel more confident in yourself because you
know that you look as good as you feel or at least, as you want to feel. And
that confidence will show up in your actions as well as your interactions with
others.
People
can’t help but respond to change. When others notice that you are holding your
head differently, they will begin to respond in kind. This is why you will hear
the term, ‘power suit’ quite often. By putting on a costume of sorts, you can
create a new you – a more powerful you.
If
you feel that you don’t have anything in your closet to wear that will help you
feel differently, it’s time to start thinking about new ways of wearing certain
pieces of clothing together. Maybe you can simply wear a crazy pair of socks
under your classic business suit. Or perhaps you can choose larger earrings or
a silly necktie.
Whatever
makes you feel differently about yourself, try to incorporate that into the way
that you’re dressing yourself today.
Here are some other ideas:
Wear
a skirt instead of pants (ladies, of course)
Try
a different shirt with a suit – one that you’ve never paired together before
Wear
a scarf to accessorize
Wear
a different piece of jewelry
Go to the back of your closet to see what
you can find – it just might change your life.
What would your day be like if you didn’t
lie about anything? Think about it for a moment. We all seem to lie about
something during out day, even if we don’t realize it. When our food comes at a
restaurant, we might say that there’s nothing else that we want, even if the
wrong order comes out. Or when we’re heading to a movie, we might say to our
friend or partner that we really don’t care what show we’re going to, even if
there’s one that we really want to see.
Why do we do this? Because we don’t want
to hurt someone’s feelings.
However, in most cases of lying, what
we’re really doing is not being truthful with ourselves and our needs. By
considering what someone else thinks, we can place the responsibility for our
happiness on someone else’s choice – and one that typically doesn’t match our
own preferences.
On the other hand, when we lie, we’re also
not taking responsibility for our own actions and their consequences. When we
lie to our boss about a project or the bill collector, we’re avoiding the issue
at hand – and now allowing ourselves to learn from the mistake.
To change your life, you need to stop
lying to yourself and everyone around you. This isn’t to say that it won’t be a tricky thing, but it will be something that will
dramatically change the way that you approach your life.
Not lying for one day will make you slow
down and really think about everything you’re about to say and why you’re
saying it. In doing so, this will create an opportunity for you to learn more
about the way you think and where you might need to make changes in that
thinking.
For example, when you stop lying about
whether or not you can talk to someone on the phone, you might find that people
that you really don’t care to talk to can be asked to call back at another
time, leaving you time and energy to do the things that you really want to do.
And that creates the space for you make
the changes that you need to make. Some call it ‘authenticity’ while others
call it being an honest person; in any case, trying to be true to your self and
to others is a simple way to instigate a new way of living.
#4 Think like an optimist
Many experts will tell you that when you change the way you look
at things, you will change your life – and it’s true. If you’re sitting around expecting the
worst of things, you’ll be certain to find the worst of things. You’ll find all
of your mistakes along the way to your goals. You’ll notice all of the problems with your plan. And then you’ll stop
trying because you’ve noticed that everything is going wrong.
This is where a lot of people fumble on the way to their happiness
and the changes that they want to make. By trying so hard to recognize the bad
things in their life, they forget about those things that are working well.
For just one day, try to see your life through the eyes of an
optimist – a complete optimist.
This might seem silly at first, but what you’re doing is bringing
another perspective, an objective perspective into your view of the world.
Optimists look at the world as though it only has good things to
offer and in that thinking, they see the opportunities for learning and growth,
rather than the obstacles in their way.
Instead of getting upset about the car that cut them off in
traffic, they hope that there wasn’t an emergency that caused the driver to
need to go so fast.
Optimism takes practice. What you might want to do is start
thinking about your life as though it were the life of a good friend that you
have. When you sense that something is wrong in your day, try to change your
thinking to being more positive.
For example, when your friend loses his or her
job, you don’t tell her that it was because they were the worst employee
(though you might tell yourself this), you tell them that it wasn’t their fault
and that there must have been another reason.
When you start treating yourself and your life the way that you
would treat a good friend, you start to see possibility in life, rather than
problems.
An optimist is simply someone that strives to look for the good in
everything. Just for today, you can try to do the same. Is it a realistic way
to be every day? Who knows? But what you are doing is allowing your life to be
as wonderful as you want it to be, and maybe as wonderful as it already is. You
just weren’t looking for it.
How many times have you been disappointed? Probably hundreds of times, right? However, if you think back to your times of pain and loss, many of these instances were the direct result of having some goal in mind that wasn’t reached or some expectation that wasn’t met.
What if you gave up your expectations for a day? For one day, what if you said that you don’t really care about what happens?
When you start to attach how you feel to something that’s out of
your control, you are setting yourself up for feeling badly. There’s nothing wrong with having goals and
wanting certain things, but when you start relying on the outcome to derive any happiness from
it, you can actually be stifling change and growth in your life.
In truth, expectations are just wishes and hopes. There’s nothing
wrong with them, but many ofthese same thoughts are based on a number of
factors that you can not control – even if you try to.
For example, you can’t control how someone reacts to something that you do or
say. People are autonomous and will respond in any way that they see fit. When we start to
attach our personal feelings on how someone else reacts, we are setting ourselves up for
feeling bad about our lives and our selves.
