Renewal: Tips for Life Changes
- Focus on the positive; what you want, not what you don’t want.
- Keep your eyes on the big picture. Stop looking for obstacles that get in the way.
- Create a plan for the change and work that plan.
- Watch what you say – words are powerful messengers that will race out and will bring to you exactly what you request.
- Recall a time when you were successful or felt good about a situation or condition. Build upon what worked, not on what did not work. Ask yourself:
- What were the circumstances that led me to feel good about myself?
- How did I feel, look, act, and respond to what was going on in my life?
- What can I do to recreate that situation and/or those feelings?
- Choose what you focus on and think about. If you don’t like the picture you see, change to a more satisfying picture.
- For example, if getting into shape is one of your goals, be realistic about what you want to accomplish. Focus on how you will look and feel. When you begin to recall the “pain and suffering” that goes along with exercise, disregard the negative chatter in your head.
- Will power is not the major ingredient when successfully changing an aspect of your life, but a commitment to yourself is.
- Don’t make excuses. There may be legitimate reasons, but there are no excuses…
- We change our lives for one of two reasons: to avoid pain or to gain pleasure. Which one is it for you? Have you experienced enough pain yet?
