The Easiest Ways To A Better Life
Self Help Weekly
Let's not pretend it's easy
to create a better life. Big changes are difficult, but there
are many easy steps in the process. Isn't that where we should
start? Why get overwhelmed? You wouldn't expect to quit cigarettes,
alcohol, caffeine and complaining all at once, right? Just make
things better today, however you can. Seeing the results will
give you the motivation for the more difficult steps.
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 sometimes a problem seems
overwhelming, and it's tough to get started. You want to look
for easy things to do, because any action starts the process,
and is better than nothing. Consider the following simple actions,
according to what you want to change.
1. Take three deep breaths
through your nose, whenever you feel stressed. I'll show you
a more powerful, and only slightly more difficult technique in
an upcoming issue. (And I'll explain why you should breath through
your nose.)
2. Write down a few things
you'd like to change about yourself. This just makes the possibility
more real, and gets your mind working.
3. If you want to work on your
relationships, start today with a quick note to someone you love.
It will take you five minutes.
4. If you want to lose weight,
do anything towards that goal today. Skip a snack, park further
away from store, use stairs instead of elevators. (A dozen small
and easy changes may be all you need.)
5. Whenever you are angry,
take three deep breaths and count to ten before you say anything.
6. Take a walk. It clears the
mind, relaxes you, and is good exercise.
7. Think of all the good things
you've got. This may seem silly, but it really can affect your
frame of mind, and a good mood makes everything a little easier.
A written list is a good idea too, and only a bit more effort.
I could go on and on,
and I will in future issues. 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...)
