It seems that every year we all decide to make changes to our lives we consider critical to our success. If you're like me, and you feel you've failed to make all of the changes in your life you want to make, then maybe it's time to change the way you think.Instead of trying to change the world around you, you need to start with the inside and work your way out. By changing from the inside to the outside, you'll create lasting change.Whatever your life is like today, it didn't get that way overnight, and it won't change overnight. All you have to do is make a commitment to do something today that will change your life today. Then, each day, recommit. Don't try to do it all at once. In fact, by taking small steps, eventually you'll reach your goal. Although it's a cliche, it really is true that "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
Change won't happen overnight, but it will happen for you if you are willing to take three simple steps. Regardless of your faith, or what you believe, this plan will work for you.You only need to commit to 30 minutes each day to see lasting success. Try this plan every day for 21 days. Almost any habit can be developed, or broken, in only 21 days. If you really want to get the most from it, then commit to an hour a day. Although this may seem hard at first, once you start to reap the results, you won't want to do anything else. It will become a part of your daily routine.
For many, their high cost of living saps every penny they earn, leaving them with little in regards to saving for the future. It seems every time you are able to cut an expense or put something towards savings, a bill increases in value or an event occurs where that money is needed now. Through the options of wealth creation you may be able to find an income source solely dedicated to financial savings. This savings can be the first step to establishing a retirement plan where interest can be earned, investments can be returned upon, and you create a retirement possibility which may not have existed before.
Read motivational material.The easiest way to change the way you think is to read something else. If you spend all your time reading about politics, news, or anything like that, you're bound to be more negative. Something as simple as watching the news before you go to bed can give you a negative attitude. The reason is that your subconscious mind is most accessible right before you go to bed, and right when you get up in the morning. That's why, when you're trying to change, use one of these two times to do it.
Pay attention only to the things that will help you in your mission in life. We all have a limited attention span and can not be good at everything, but if we are clear on what we want and pay attention to staying on that path, we can change our life and move forward in the direction that is fulfilling. Good luck is all around us.Today, we are bombarded with information and if you waste your creative energy trying to keep up with it all, you will simply get stuck in the same rut your are in, making changing your life very difficult. There is very little we can control but how we think is in our control and what we actively do daily to improve our thoughts is as well.
Let me give you a few of my top tips on what you can do to stay positive in your life: Self Talk - Everything we do has an effect on the way we think about ourselves. So tell yourself that "I feel terrific today" I can do it" I am great at what I do" I like myself" These are just a few examples of what you can say to yourself for positive mental talk. Use these examples and you will feel terrific and most certainly have a more positive attitude without you realising.
Change starts in the mind. Then you have to take action. Use this simple plan to help you reach your dreams and get the life you deserve.Simple but powerful mindfulness exercises bring us a wide range of benefits. You don't have to sit in lotus position or become a Buddhist. Interest in mindfulness coming out of scientific research is making it mainstream.If I were to tell you that you can learn to release yourself from stress, improve your well being, increase your emotional intelligence, make better decisions and be happier and more successful just by sitting on your butt and watching your breath for a few minutes each day, would you be persuaded? Probably not. If you think about it, that's strange because you probably do sit on your butt for much of the day and you never stop breathing. So what's the problem? First of all we have to have some kind of understanding why it works and second, if you try it, maybe you'll find why it's not such and easy thing to do. Just sit on a chair, upright, and count each breath. How many breaths can you count before you get distracted and forget to count? Do you forget how many breaths you've counted? Just try it.So, like learning to do a lot of things it's difficult at first. Our minds just want to get out there and do stuff. So how does training our attention to follow the breath do so much good?
There's increasing evidence that training attention with the right kind of attitude has many benefits. Much of the scientific work has been done on depression. People who attend a course for eight weeks, going to a weekly two hour class and doing around half an hour each day over the duration of the course, works at least as well as taking antidepressants. The effects are long lasting and can be seen in changes in the brain and continuing the habit has even greater benefits.What happens when you stand in the queue waiting to be served? What happens when you're waiting for a bus? Well, for most of us, we get bored or frustrated and our mind goes for a walk. We start daydreaming, planning or worrying. We're distracted. The thing is, what's going on in our minds has an impact on our moods and then our mood effects our thinking. We create patterns of mood and habits of thinking which feed on each other. So often this causes us completely unnecessary stress.
Cut some seriously undisturbed time for yourself. Everything off... no multi-tasking.Grab a pen and paper and list, or storyboard if you will, every one of your strengths... think hard on this, I mean every one.Now, look at those already established strengths and search for connections or ideas you probably haven't thought of in the spirit of creating a new direction for yourself with those abilities that you already own.So what's happening here? We're reinventing or reshaping who we are through this process, but actually, we're not. This potential reshape consists of reconfiguring elements of who we already are, not some fictitious character we're trying to create that has nothing to do with us. Personal testament becomes a must to clarify this point. I'm a musician of 40 years, as well as a composer for 30 of those years. Long story short, my chosen musical idiom in these times does not offer the rewards of a comfortable life without some serious, and I mean serious sacrifice. That sacrifice was OK in terms of myself. But after becoming a single Dad, my reality, my focus began to alter. For the first time ever I was considering a potential life change. Let's see, a day job... not a chance in hell. What can I do?
This can have a profound effect on all kinds of different areas of our life because so many of our problems result from the way we get trapped in patterns of thinking and behavior. Developing a regular practice of mindfulness exercises helps us to see the patterns that drive us more clearly and enables us to pay more attention to what is actually going on for us. This makes changing things much easier. We're not using our will power to change the way we behave; with mindfulness we can discover what it is we really want to do and do it naturally. Mindfulness exercises help us to really get to know ourselves better, as if we were an old friend and that makes it much easier to do what's in our own best interests without being self critical.
