You can definitely improve your life by taking small steps each day or do something new on a daily basis. Leave that erratic life behind you and organize a bit. No one asks you to have an obsessive manner, but if you plan ahead a little, you can be prepared for anything. Also, a healthy lifestyle will only make you feel more energetic and you will be able to see and get things done more efficiently. Who doesn’t want that?
1. How to start the day better
First of all, get up early and have breakfast. Not only will you have more energy throughout the day, but you can also control your weight (if you think you want to lose a few pounds). You can also do some exercises in the morning, and trust me you will feel even more energized.
Organize yourself and keep a schedule
Again, no one says to plan every little thing, but you could write down the things you have to do throughout the day and the goals you may want to achieve. You will be more motivated to do them, and if you fail in doing some of them, don’t worry just move the incomplete tasks on the tomorrow list and start from there.
Give yourself some breaks
Especially if you are working in front of the computer. You need to break monotony somehow. This doesn’t mean to take time from work, it just means you need to enjoy your free time in a more creative way. Go out, have some fun, enjoy the beauty of nature from now and then. You may not know what you’re missing.
Try to be more generous
Not only with money, you can always help someone who is in need, be it strangers, friends or family. Sometimes, even a sincere smile can do and change a lot for someone. Try it!
There are things you simply cannot change
Try to accept that. Sometimes you are overpowered by certain situations, and try as you might, you cannot change or fix those problems. Never allow yourself to feel depressed about things you have no power over. Accept that bad things happen as well and try to overcome them. Time is too precious to waste it with regrets!
Learn something new
A new language for example. It will also improve your skills in your mother tongue. Plus, you may be tempted to visit new places related to the language you are learning, and those are always great new experiences.
Think outside the box
You have your fixed ways in life? You should try changing them, at least to a small extent. Try having something new for dinner on a Saturday night for example. You can also try changing the cinema you are always going to. Try a new club, meet new people, socialize more. Read a new book, try sleeping on the other side of the bed. Anything could help you break the routine.
Face your inner demons
You definitely have things you are afraid to do or continuously avoid. You need to change that by doing something uncomfortable to face these fears. When you succeed to surpass these fears you will feel more confident and have another perspective on life, with endless possibilities ahead! I recommend bungee-jumping!
Live in the present
The “now” is the most important thing in your life. The past is gone, the future is yet to be written, by you. Now. So do not make long-term plans, because you may not be able to achieve them, or if you do, you may be left with a feeling of disappointment. So instead, try to focus on the present, enjoy everything you have now, and see in the meanwhile how you can achieve your future plans.
Don’t put things off
Organize yourself and make a schedule to be able to finish the things you want to have done, WHEN you want to have them done. Not later, because, like debts, unfinished or incomplete tasks tend to build up and you will no longer be able to face the large amount of work and you will definitely have to postpone other leisure activities that you would much rather enjoy then than actually have to work.
