Live In The Present

Before we determine what it is we want to change in our lives, spend a little time living in the present moment. 

In other words, don't worry about changes you've made in your past that didn't work out. The past failures may have been painful, but thank goodness that they are over. Keep them in the past and move on. 

The other side of the coin is worrying about the future. Some people are so apprehensive about what my happen in the future that they are afraid to move forward. 

Instead stop and concentrate on the present. Look around at the things that are happening to you right now. Look at the good and the bad to determine what's happening now. 

You will need this perspective to benefit from the next step. 

Think On The Positive

Now that you are looking at your present situation, it is probably a mixture of the good and the bad. No matter where you are or what you have, there is always someone less fortunate than you. So, for that be thankful.



Exercising this state of thankfulness will put you in a positive mindset.



When you think of change, the first reaction is usually a negative one. We automatically equate change with something negative.



Try to view the changes you want to make from a positive standpoint. You can be excited to make the change when you see the positive result you will experience.



Next is a bit of a caution before we get too far down the road to change.

Don't Compare Yourself To Others

Nothing makes people feel dissatisfied with their lives more that comparing themselves to those around them. You end up comparing the negative aspects of your life to the positive aspects of someone else's live. 

This can lead to all sorts of jealousy which does nothing but make you feel even worst. 

Look at your own life as something unique to you. Your life is powerful because that unique way you live it. Before you make your changes, make sure you are making them because you want. 

Change Your Daily Routine

Now we are ready to dive in and make the changes we want to make our lives even better. 

Start with looking at your daily routines. Which ones are bringing you the most positive and productive results? 

Is there something you can change to make your day even better? That would be a great place to start. 

Start with something small that wouldn't completely disrupt your daily routine. It could be anything like getting up a half hour earlier, to finding a better route to get to work. 

If you think it will improve your life, make the change. It's a good way to get started. 

We'll save the harder stuff until the next step. Start small first. 

Examine Your Life's Path

Now comes the deeper harder changes. Examine your life's path and decide if what you are currently doing lines up with your life's vision. 

By that I mean, are you exercising your passions, interests, and goals you want to reach? Are you where you want to be at this stage in your life? 

Answering questions like this may reveal some deep areas that you may want to change to live the satisfying life you desire. 

Determine what it is you could be doing differently to help you reach your personal objectives. 

Those are the voluntary changes you want to master. Whatever needs to be done, put a plan together to make it a reality. 

Will that plan change? It probably will, but with change comes more knowledge and hopefully more growth. 

Improve Your Relationships

If your goals and values are on track, there is one place where I know you can make changes. 

Look at the relationships in your life. Which ones could be better? How could you make a few changes in your life to help foster a more positive outcome? 

Work on making more quality relationships with the people you care about the most. You can reach high levels of success, but without having great people to share it with, success if not that sweet. 

You may even want to try developing new relationships that enrich your life. Take matters in your own hands and make some relationship changes. 

Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

The comfort zone is probably one of the biggest deterrents to change. Once you get stuck in it, it is very hard to get out of it. 

Know that any change will affect your comfort zone. Just know that you will want to get out of the comfort zone to make any change. 

Get used to stepping out of your comfort zone by taking small changes first. Then take on something that you actually fear and do it. It will be hard, but after much practice, you will become fearless. 

Change Your Physical Appearance

The last suggestion is to change your physical appearance. I have seen unhealthy people become healthy and strong by deciding to change their eating and exercising routine. 

Changes like that have many residual benefits besides enjoying good health. It can affect you confidence level, and boost your energy. 

When you are feeling good and looking good, you are enjoying life to the fullest.
