Quick Tips For Changing Your Life Fast
If you're anything like me when it comes to getting my Habits and Compulsions under control, you want them to be. But it's not always that easy when it feels like the entire world is against you. There are three ways to make it easier:
Identify your problem. This is perhaps the most important part of changing your habits and controlling them. Sure there is the urge to just "do something" and not think about it, but you have to ask yourself why you feel the need to do this. Once you determine what your problem is, you'll be much more equipped to change.
Make a plan. Without a plan, you're basically floating around in mid-air. What is this thing that you want to accomplish? What must I do in order to get there? How long do I plan on being away from my comfort zone?
Make a decision. When you decide to do something it becomes easier for you. Why? You've already done your research - you know the potential benefits and how you'll feel when you succeed.
Get inspired. Inspiration is a great way to change your life. Especially if you're already successful - what's stopping you from doing even more? A good way to inspire is by reading motivational books or watching online videos that will have you thinking positively and ridding your mind of any kind of negative thinking. It doesn't matter what else you're doing - just start thinking positive!
Finally, follow through. One of the best things about making changes is the feeling of accomplishment that you get when you successfully achieve your goals. When you don't have an immediate goal, it's harder to push yourself to go for your second goal. But when you have a clear and defined goal, it's easier to motivate yourself to stick to it. So, make the commitment to yourself - follow through.
There's one more way to change - and that's to acknowledge what you have to change and be willing to change whatever you need to in order to achieve your goals. Habits are hard to break, but changing them can be even more difficult. Accept that this is going to take some effort and that you have to put in the work to make progress. It will definitely be worth the effort - once you're able to overcome the obstacles standing in your way, you will enjoy all the benefits that your new and improved habits will bring you.
Whatever you do, be consistent. If you want to make lasting change, you need to find a way to be consistent. You might be tempted to give up and start again. But the only way to really accomplish anything is to follow through and never give up - ever. You'll reap the rewards of your hard work much sooner if you just keep going.
Finally, take baby steps when it comes to making those changes to your life and your habits. Don't try to change everything at once. And don't give up too soon either. Habits change over time - just keep going and you'll eventually get there. In fact, the hardest part of making a new habit change is making it the first time.
