by kyriasabah - April 23, 2017

Many of us put our happiness and dreams on hold for another day , when the truth is life is happening right now .If you want to make positive changes , today is the day .

Where to begin ? Well keep reading .

1. Create a vision : Get clear in your purpose , what drives you and what you desire for your life , relationships ,career, lifestyle and personal growth .

2. Noticing and living in the present : Right now is a miracle. Right now is the only moment guaranteed to you. Right now is life. So stop thinking about how great things will be in the future. Stop dwelling on what did or didn’t happen in the past. Learn to be in the ‘here and now’ and experience life as it’s happening. Appreciate the world for the beauty that it holds, right now.

3. Peace time daily : Your investment in staying calm and to yourself daily will come back to you tenfold in the form of increased insight, inner peace , creativity and compassion .

4. Treat your body well :It’s your home on this Earth so nourish it with water, healthy food and exercise .

5. Listen to your heart and intuition : Your heart is the key to your life purpose and will provide you with wisdom and guidance that your thinking mind cannot comprehend.

6. Mix up your routine : Don’t live the same year 85 times and call it a life , try out a new route, coffee shop, walking trail, hobby or activity .

7. Start valuing the lessons your mistakes teach you. – Mistakes are okay; they’re the stepping stones of progress. If you’re not failing from time to time, you’re not trying hard enough and you’re not learning. Take risks, stumble, fall, and then get up and try again. Appreciate that you are pushing yourself, learning, growing and improving. Significant achievements are almost invariably realized at the end of a long road of failures. One of the ‘mistakes’ you fear might just be the link to your greatest achievement yet.

8. Get clear on your values: Your deep underlying motivators like freedom , creativity , wisdom , abundance , vitality , connection and authenticity-and start biasing your life around them .

9. Make time for joy and pleasure: Write down a list of all the things that make you come alive and do them weekly , the whole the world will benefit your light and joy.

10. Start cheering for other people’s victories. – Start noticing what you like about others and tell them. Having an appreciation for how amazing the people around you are leads to good places – productive, fulfilling, peaceful places. So be happy for those who are making progress. Cheer for their victories. Be thankful for their blessings, openly. What goes around comes around, and sooner or later the people you’re cheering for will start cheering for you.

11. Do one thing each week that scares you: Your current comfort zone is just the last place you set up camp on your journey — by doing something that scares you each week, you are constantly growing beyond your self-imposed limitations.

12. Value your happiness: We are so quick to give away our happiness over trivial matters or things outside of our control, when it is one of the most valuable things we possess. Value your happiness by remembering the mantra: “I could see peace instead of this” every time you are tempted to get caught up in drama.

13. Celebrate everything. Small wins build your confidence and build you up to have more success — look for more ways to celebrate yourself and your loved ones. I celebrate the tiniest things related to my blog ( if I hit 10K and stuff like that people think I am silly but it gives me immense happiness and I am going to celebrate it).

14. Start taking full accountability for your own life. – Own your choices and mistakes, and be willing to take the necessary steps to improve upon them. Either you take accountability for your life or someone else will. And when they do, you’ll become a slave to their ideas and dreams instead of a pioneer of your own. You are the only one who can directly control the outcome of your life. And no, it won’t always be easy. Every person has a stack of obstacles in front of them. But you must take accountability for your situation and overcome these obstacles. Choosing not to is choosing a lifetime of mere existence.

15. Start facing your problems head on. – It isn’t your problems that define you, but how you react to them and recover from them. Problems will not disappear unless you take action. Do what you can, when you can, and acknowledge what you’ve done. It’s all about taking baby steps in the right direction, inch by inch. These inches count, they add up to yards and miles in the long run.

Make tiny changes each day starting today and make yourself a better person with each passing day.

Until next time
