Changing the way of life of people. Life Changes are Great! Give and be grateful

The modern rhythm of life is built in such a way that it simply does not even allow us to think about the fact that we may not be moving quite where we need to. Do the math: the average working day is 8 hours, the average sleep is another eight hours. From the remaining eight, subtract travel time from / to work, food, cooking, cleaning the apartment, shopping at the store. Even if we consider that a person does not have any very time-consuming addiction like watching TV shows or computer games, then he has at best an hour or two a day left for self-development.

This is provided that the person has a clear daily routine and there are no various useless waste of time. If a person is densely and often sits on social networks or is fond of watching TV content, then he simply does not have time even to at least think about his life, its vector.

Is this happening by accident? Most likely no.

A person is deliberately loaded with information and vanity in order to fill that void in life, which is a lever that pushes a person to cognition of himself, the world around him, and most importantly, to those issues that call into question the prevailing system of values. That is why in our society all sorts of destructive "traditions" are actively implanted, such as "sleeping off" on weekends, and spending the rest of the day watching TV.

That is, even on his legal day off, a person does not have time to at least sit in silence and think about his life and his path. However, everyone is the creator of his own destiny and the artist of the landscape of his life. We all live in a reality where there are 24 hours in a day, but some of us find time for self-development, and someone spends this time, for example, to bring to life some sophisticated recipes. Everyone has their own values.

But a simple thing should be understood. What we spend our time on today, tomorrow will determine the vector of our movement. Today we are in the same situation to which we applied our strength yesterday.

How to change your life for the better

Despite the fact that the situation is rather sad, you should not despair, because, as already mentioned above, each person has the power to change everything. And there is no such situation that cannot be influenced, it is just a matter of effort and time. If you have already realized that the vector of your movement in life is not leading you in the right direction, that's half the battle. To realize that you are moving in the wrong direction means already to create a reason for changes in your life. And here we should consider such a concept as "a healthy lifestyle."

In today's world, where even the brightest concepts are distorted, a healthy lifestyle is understood as anything: from professional sports to "moderate drinking".

It should be noted that a healthy lifestyle is a lifestyle that benefits both you personally and those around you.

If a person just monitors his health (and sometimes very strangely follows, for example, not disdaining alcohol), but at the same time his goals in life and his motivations are selfish, then say that such a person is “healthy” in the full sense of the word, not necessary.

It would be logical to say that a healthy lifestyle is a lifestyle that excludes everything harmful. It is difficult to disagree with this.

What phenomena in our life can be called harmful? Alcohol, drugs, intoxicants, smoking - this is all clear, there is no particular sensation here. However, let's take a deeper look. If we talk more deeply about bad habits and harmful tendencies, then in essence everything that does not lead a person to development is harmful.

Thus, idle pastime like TV shows, meaningless conversations, gatherings at the table, excessive passion for cooking (which sometimes takes all weekends) can also be called harmful things. The habit of being angry, using foul language, judging others, and gossiping also wastes our energy, distracts our attention and distracts from our true goals. Needless to say, these things won't do any good either? And in the framework of a healthy lifestyle, all this should be excluded.

Anything that does not lead to development, by definition, is harmful to us. Therefore, before taking any action, one should think: will this action lead to development? And if the answer is negative, then it is better to exclude this phenomenon from your life if possible. Always align your actions with your goals.

Agree: any action one way or another wastes our vital energy and it is simply unwise to spend it on something that will not lead us to some positive result. It should be noted that getting pleasure or entertainment, contrary to popular belief, is not a positive result, but rather the opposite. In general, a healthy lifestyle includes two important aspects: altruism and austerity.

Our Universe is reasonable and fair, and if a person lives only for himself and everything that he has, he uses only for pleasure and selfish purposes, then sooner or later the Universe will begin to limit him in his abilities and resources, because the supply of the "cancer cell" just impractical. As for asceticism, then, as the life experience of many shows, no one has yet achieved success on the spiritual path, indulging in pleasures and entertainment. Moreover, it is impossible to achieve success in a purely material sphere if you spend time and resources on pleasure and entertainment.

There are simply no examples to the contrary. So, the main guidelines in life should be altruistic motivation and an ascetic lifestyle. Such a concept as "ascetic lifestyle" also has a wide range of applications. For some, three cars in the garage is an austerity, because to drive the same car twice a week - imagine such a monstrous inconvenience and discomfort. Therefore, it should be noted here that asceticism is limiting oneself in needs to what is necessary from the point of view of objectivity. It should not at all be assumed that asceticism is about walking in rags, eating bread and water, and living in a cave. But it is important to understand that any thing that you possess wastes your life energy, and you must have very good reasons to have this thing with you - these are just the basics of a rational outlook on life, and nothing more. And if you need a car in order to perform your activities for the benefit of others, then it should be purchased, and it will not be a luxury. Experience shows that it is altruism and asceticism that can change life for the better, and you should always check your actions in accordance with these concepts. Just as a traveler, setting off on the road, checks his movement against a map of the area, so we should regularly correlate our life path with these two concepts.

What can you change in your life

Even understanding all these seemingly simple things at the level of the mind, it is still difficult to immediately change your life. Yes, in general, this is not required. Experience shows that if a person begins to abruptly change the course of his movement, then according to the "principle of a pendulum" he returns him back, and sometimes throws him even further than he was at the time of the beginning of changes in his life.

Therefore, you should not show fanaticism and drastically change something: quit your job, stop communicating with former friends who lead a different way of life, conflict with relatives on the topic of food, entertainment, leisure, and so on.

Start small: track what bad habits or negative tendencies in your mind you have.

You can just write down on paper everything that you do regularly, and honestly ask yourself the question: "What result will this lead to?" If you think deeply on this topic, then you can clearly make a list of those things that are best removed from your life. And then it is important to form a clear intention to move in this direction. It is important to understand that habits are formed over the years, or even decades, and “start life on Monday,” let's be realistic, is unlikely to succeed.

Imagine a situation where a person decides to start running in the morning. Someone inspired him, maybe one of his friends started running, maybe he read on the Internet about how useful it is, or just wanted to quickly lose weight. And here a man, showing incredible willpower, gets up at six in the morning and starts running 5-10 km at once. Perhaps he will even succeed in this in the first days and the body even quickly adapts, and at the physical level he will somehow survive it. But his psyche simply cannot withstand such drastic changes and, experiencing such austerity for a week, one morning his mind will simply arrange a "strike", his hand angrily throws the alarm clock, and this is where the whole healthy lifestyle will end. The thing is that our oxpower also has a margin of safety, and it is very rash to hope that it will withstand any loads. And if the person from the example above began to run 2-3 kilometers a day, and even not every day, but three times a week, then his mind would gradually get used to such a load that a person could eventually increase and subsequently achieve the result is ten kilometers daily. It would take a little longer, but it would also be a long-term success.

It is also worth recalling the “21st day rule”. According to this concept, a new habit forms neural connections in the brain and takes root in human behavior during the 21st day. That is, it is enough to bring something new into your life (but, again, without too abrupt movements) and perform this action for not 21 days without interruption. This will allow the new habit to take root and become your new behavior. It's the same with old habits: stop doing any harmful action during the 21st day - and the neural connection in the brain, if it doesn't break at all, will weaken, and this will allow you to eliminate the bad habit from your life. This simple rule works with almost all dependencies.

How to change your life: where to start

Where to start changes in your life and how to do it so that everything does not end, as in the case of a novice athlete, an example of which is described above? First of all, you should create motivation for yourself. The person in our example gave up jogging for two reasons: first, he made changes in his life too dramatically, but much more importantly, second: he obviously had no motivation. What's wrong with motivation? Experience shows that motivation, which is aimed at bringing benefits not only to oneself, but also to others, is many times stronger.

If, for example, this person (a novice runner) had a lazy, overweight friend who needed to be taught to run in the morning by keeping him company, most likely he would not have given up jogging, because he would have been responsible to his friend and understanding that retreating now means harming not only yourself, but also your friend. And, in fact, such motivation is very strong and keeps a person on the way, even when all the forces have left him and despair has covered his head. Understanding that you need to make an effort not only for yourself, but also for the sake of others, gives additional strength.

How do you create this motivation? When a person begins to change, everything around him changes, including the people who surround him. Thus, if you realize that you are not living quite adequately, and you understand that your environment is also going in the wrong direction in life, then you can create excellent motivation - to induce others to change your life by personal example. And then, you will see, it will be much more difficult to give up on everything. And changes can affect everything: nutrition, bad habits, lifestyle, professional activity. If you can make changes in at least one of the areas of your life, believe me, this will entail global positive changes.

Even the transition to health food: refusal of unhealthy foods, meat, alcohol, sugar, coffee, etc. can change our consciousness. After all, as it was said long before us: "We are what we eat." And if our food becomes more blissful, positive changes will not be long in coming: suddenly thoughts will arise to do something positive for others, to do, for example, yoga, or just even start smiling at neighbors and colleagues.

Start small. From the very little thing. And according to the domino principle, the smallest change in the course of your life will lead you to a completely different result. This is the simple secret to changing your life.

It is also worth noting that everything is conditioned by the law of karma, and if a person has created reasons in the past to change his life for the better, then he will subsequently have such an opportunity. Have you ever seen drunken alcoholics? Do you think they do not know that drinking is harmful?

They are simply not able to perceive this information, and this also happens for certain reasons. Experience shows that a person can embark on the path of self-development, and most importantly, successfully advance along it only if he himself helps others to develop. What goes around comes around. To develop yourself, you need to create reasons for this. Here a fair question may arise: "How to create such reasons?" Everything is very simple.

In order to face knowledge that can pull a person out of this swamp of ignorance, inertia and lifelong lethargy, in which most people now live, a person should spread knowledge himself. It is important to understand what kind of knowledge we are talking about. One may mistakenly believe that a teacher who gives knowledge to children at school will receive knowledge later. However, most of us have an approximate idea of \u200b\u200bwhat knowledge, and most importantly, in what form teachers are disseminated in schools, so it is not necessary to say that this form of presentation of knowledge and their quality will lead a person on the path of spiritual development.

What knowledge should be disseminated? First of all, knowledge about the law of karma. When a person is faced with the knowledge of the law of karma, he realizes that he himself created the reasons for his happiness and his suffering, and begins to perceive all life's difficulties as lessons, and not as injustice of the world around him. Related concepts follow from the concept of the law of karma: reincarnation and asceticism. When a person realizes that this life is not alone and that one must live it with dignity, so that in the next life he does not wag his tail somewhere at a meat-packing plant, he begins to move towards development and here he is faced with such a concept as "asceticism" - voluntary self-restraint with a goal accumulating energy and improving your personality.

So, if you try to spread knowledge among people at least about karma and related concepts, then create for yourself a reason for someone to tell you about this in your future life. Otherwise, most likely, you will not even have doubts that they are telling a lie on TV and that you need to live somehow differently. And everyone who will talk to you about this in one way or another will be called "sectarians." There are plenty of examples around.

And finally, it is worth noting that changes in your life should benefit not only you, but also the people around you. Then these changes will be harmonious and will remain in your life for a long time. Because in any business, the most important thing is motivation. And if she is altruistic, you will succeed.

Your daily life is more like chaos. You sleep an average of three hours a day, and sometimes you don't sleep at all. Go to bed well past midnight and wake up late. As a result, you are constantly late and do not have time to do anything. And all your attempts to go on a diet and start eating healthy foods end with snacks at night. Obviously, you just need to change your lifestyle!

Try to develop a number of habits in 21 days, such as:
1. Fall asleep no later than 12 at night.
2. Get up early.
3. Read books at least once a day.
4. Meditate.
5. Don't be late.
6. Follow a diet, etc.

It will most likely be difficult, but worth the try. Your life will become more organized and may even change dramatically. You will wake up early, stop being late, and get everything done on time.

If you think that only very persistent and disciplined people can change their lives, then you are wrong. Developing certain habits is not such a tricky business. Just outline the basic principles that you will definitely adhere to and that will help you achieve your goal.

Here are 6 easy ways to tidy up your life and develop the necessary habits.

1. Find Out Why Your Past Habits Failed

Find the root cause of the problem, rather than waste time analyzing the consequences. Fighting desperately with yourself every morning to wake up at 5:30 in the morning is already a consequence. Understanding why you are unable to wake up at 5:30 AM is for a reason.

For example, you cannot wake up early in the morning, you strive to change that, but you fail every day. This can go on for months, and in the end you will come to the conclusion that you are failing. Try to analyze the situation and understand why you cannot wake up early. Ask yourself why this is happening and answer yourself:

Why can't I wake up early?
Because I'm tired.

Why am I tired?
Because I didn't sleep much.

Why did I sleep little?
Because I went to bed late.

Why did I go to bed late?
Because I had too much to do.

Why did I have so many things to do?
Because I couldn't finish them.

Why couldn't I finish them?
Because I plan to do more during the day than I can.

Finding a reason can lead you to realize that:
1. All our habits are interconnected (sleep time, rise time, timeliness of implementation).
2. We underestimate the time it takes to complete all tasks (accordingly, we overestimate how quickly we can complete them). It often happens that we plan to finish many things in one day, which, in fact, is simply not possible.

In order to wake up earlier:
1. It is necessary to change the habits that affect the early rise.
2. Be more realistic in your planning. Avoid setting a lot of tasks throughout the day and not completing them, make a realistic to-do list and complete them on time.

Once you get to the real cause of the problem, you can immediately solve the problem itself.

2. Group habits

Our habits are interconnected. Some habits are more connected to each other, others less. For example, it is clear that going to bed early and waking up early are more related than sleeping early and reading books. If you want to develop a habit, find other habits that are associated with it and can significantly affect it. They will reinforce each other and make the habit easier.

For example, habits such as getting up early in the morning, falling asleep before 12 at night, not being late, meditating, eating healthy food can be interrelated.

- Waking up early means that there will be more time to do all your business and, accordingly, go to bed earlier. This, in turn, will help you wake up earlier the next day.
- The habit of not being late helps to adhere to the planned daily routine. This means that you can go to bed and you can wake up on time.
- Meditation clears mental clutter and reduces the amount of sleep we need. We usually sleep 6-10 hours, but if we meditate in the evenings, the sleep time can be reduced to 5-6 hours.
- The transition to a diet increases mental activity, and you no longer need to sleep as much as before. This does not mean that you need to go on a strict diet just in order to develop the habit of waking up early. It's just that you can easily fall asleep in the evening and wake up early in the morning, changing other habits.

3. Plan your day (with time)

A schedule can help you know for sure if you are on or off the habits path. First of all, you need to plan the first day of the new lifestyle in order to adhere to a similar schedule in the following days.

You need to make a list of things to do in a day in advance. You can use, for example, Gcal.

Divide them into categories: major projects, tasks of medium importance, and minor tasks.
Add them to the daily schedule. More time is needed to complete major projects. You can, for example, use the following principle, allocate 60-30-10% of the time for completing tasks in categories 1-2-3, respectively.
You need to know how long it takes to complete this or that case. In most cases, we set aside less time to complete tasks than necessary. Try to be realistic about your capabilities. It is also worth leaving a short break (5-10 minutes) between tasks, necessary to switch from one task to another.

5. Specify the exact start and end time of the task. For example, 9.00-10.30 - project A, 12.30-13.30 - lunch, 18.30-19.30 - road.

If you have more things to do than you can do according to your schedule, you can reschedule less important things to another day.
When everything is planned out and a new day dawns, the only thing to do is to stick to the schedule relentlessly. You need to keep track of time in order to complete tasks on time. 5 minutes before the time allotted for the completion of a task expires, you can slowly move on to the next task on the list.

The beauty of having an accurate timetable is that it lets you know when you are taking more time than you would like and allows you to work more efficiently. Some time frames cannot be violated in any way, for example, sleep / wake time, so the time allotted for tasks should be fixed. This means that you need to work more efficiently.

At first glance, this may seem very complicated, but in reality it is not. It will take no more than 10 minutes to draw up a daily schedule. You should also allocate time in the schedule for drawing up the schedule itself (for example, 23.00-23.10). It is enough to create a template once and then apply it to schedule other days. For example, items such as waking up / breakfast / travel / work / lunch / sleep will always be on your schedule.

If you don't plan for the exact time of completion of the work and just tell yourself that it needs to be done today, then the chances are good that you will not do the work. Therefore, most of the habits do not last long in a person. Suddenly, other things will appear and you, without noticing it, will do them and abandon the schedule. Therefore, everything will be the same, and you will never develop a habit.

4. Get ahead of your schedule

Doing things ahead of time is a motivating factor. Getting up at 5 a.m. puts you ahead of the world (and yourself, the old one who lived on the old schedule), and this motivates you to work faster and stay ahead. Finishing work ahead of schedule and starting a new task before the scheduled time gives you an extra boost. Knowing that you are doing what you want to do ahead of your schedule will naturally motivate you to complete all of your planned activities, including your habits.

If the completion of a task takes longer than necessary, a choice should be made:

Hurry and be in time for everything.

Postpone not particularly important tasks or
Use the time allocated for the following tasks and continue the current one. It also means you have to work faster the rest of the day.
This decision-making process is important, as otherwise you will spend the rest of the day trying to catch up, which will be reflected in the planned tasks / habits. Subsequently, this will also affect your desire to maintain the habits. Do everything ahead of time and you will find that it is easier to stay motivated this way.

5. Keep in control

When you are in control of the process, you are consistent and obligatory. Hang a piece of paper or blackboard in the room, on which draw a large chart, broken down by day (for example, 21 days to develop a new habit) and habits. In it, somehow mark the days when you adhered to the developed habit and the days when you did not. You can also track the process using special web services such as:

HabitForge - helps you control the habit formation process for 21 days. If you miss one day, the countdown starts over.

Rootein - unlike Habit Forge, this is a continuous tracker, if there are too many missed days, it warns you about it. You can also use its mobile version.

Joe's Goals - similar to Rootein. You can set the option to check the same task multiple times during super productive days.

6. Involve the people around you

There are several ways - active participation, when you inform your friends who want to develop the same habit and work on it together, or passive participation, when you tell others about your plans, and they support you morally in your aspirations.

For example, share your desire to develop certain habits on your blog and describe in detail your program to change yourself, and you are likely to find a lot of followers. Describe in detail the feasibility of your program, its benefits, list the habits that you are going to develop, and how you want to achieve what you want.

Your family and friends may also want to help you achieve your goals. For example, in your desire to eat healthy food, they will want to fill your refrigerator with fruits and vegetables, and in the cafe they will try to order vegetable dishes.

The main thing to remember is that you are not alone at this moment, there are always people around you who will cheer and support you.

Finally

If you successfully cope with the tasks assigned, you will not notice how you automatically start adhering to the necessary habits, and they will become an integral part of your life. The suggested methods may seem too simple, but do not underestimate them. Try it yourself and see that they work!

Often people feel a desire to change their usual way of life, which stopped bringing joy.

To become, it is enough to take a few simple steps.

What is a lifestyle?

Lifestyle Is an elaborated individual system of distributing one's time for various types of activity.

This concept includes the whole range of spheres of human life: with loved ones, personal relationships, demeanor, attitude to sports, leisure options, health care, moral principles, faith, etc.

The type of life gives rise to a certain behavior style, rules, habits and rituals. Its formation is significantly influenced by historical, geographical, national, age, professional aspects.

So, the conditions of existence of an Asian and a European are significantly different, even under the condition of the same age, profession, etc. It is also impossible to compare the professional duties of a doctor in the 18th century and a specialist in the 21st century.

Accordingly, a person cannot fully determine all aspects of his activity, a big imprint on the formation of his personal attitudes leaves the environment.

Lifestyle is not only an individual but also a group characteristic. It can unite or entire generations.

Types and examples

Basis of classification can serve as socio-cultural norms, goals, professional achievements, the desire for material wealth, attitude towards family values, etc.

You can often hear about the following lifestyles:

1. Strict... A person seeks to demonstrate that meets all existing norms. He will never do anything forbidden or illegal. He adheres to common sense in his actions. A similar attitude towards one's personality is transferred to those around them, to whom certain requirements are imposed. Any non-compliance with the norms of behavior or non-fulfillment of duties is considered by a strict person from an exclusively negative point of view.

   For example, it is not uncommon for large leaders, who are accustomed to be organized and exacting to others at work, transfer this behavior to their personal lives.

2. Rampant... In this case, the individual does not think at all about what impression he makes on others. Other people's negative actions also do not cause him much condemnation. The main meaning of life is to get momentary pleasures. In the first place are entertainment, communication, all kinds of joys. Any duties are considered an unwanted hindrance.
   This behavior is often demonstrated by young people who do not have financial problems thanks to their wealthy parents. The absence of the need to take care of one's material well-being, the absence of clear goals in life gives rise to the desire for constant entertainment.
3. Ordered... In this case, the individual exists in strict accordance with the order established by him. All duties are completed on time, and any events are planned in advance. A person tries to organize his existence in such a way that the probability of unforeseen events is reduced to zero. It should be noted that this lifestyle is not always a conscious choice. Often this happens under the pressure of external circumstances.

   For example, a young girl may start to lead an orderly life after having a baby because of the need to adhere to the daily routine of the baby. Her every day will be no different from the previous one.

4. Ascetic... The individual is of the opinion that one should live as simply and modestly as possible. Most of the material goods and achievements of mankind do not interest him. All his desires are reduced to the satisfaction of basic, psychological and. Many amenities and entertainment are viewed as surplus without which one can live freely. Such self-denial is associated with the desire to free the soul from the harmful influence of the external environment, to gain maximum independence from those imposed by society. A real ascetic who has given up the benefits of civilization can have only a few pieces of furniture in his home, wear the same clothes for a long time, eat the simplest foods solely to maintain vital activity, etc.
5. Healthy... This lifestyle presupposes proper nutrition, hygiene, sports, good sleep and rest. Healthy lifestyle supporters do not consume alcoholic beverages, do not smoke or are addicted to drugs.

   They care about the health of their body and do not accept any negative influences on it.

   A typical supporter of healthy lifestyle is a young man who visits the gym several times a week, has no bad habits, adheres to the principles of proper nutrition, spends a lot of time in the fresh air, regularly undergoes preventive examinations by specialists.

6. Modern... An individual who successfully adapts to the conditions that society dictates to him fits into the image of a modern person. He enjoys the achievements of civilization, keeps abreast of events, shares fashion trends and fulfills. Currently, the modern type of existence is often understood as the pursuit of material wealth, the desire for professional achievements, the ability to understand fashion trends and technical innovations.

How is it determined?

You can determine the lifestyle of a particular individual by a number of structural components:

• values (norms of behavior, moral principles, attitudes);
• behavior model (habits, rituals, ways of interacting with others);
• cognitive ability (ideas about the world, striving for knowledge, stereotypes);
• communication skills (manner of communicating with others);
• life goals(material benefits, professional development, family relations, spiritual development).

Components

This concept includes the following elements:

It should be noted that for most people, the phrase "lifestyle" associated with ideas about leisure.

When people ask the interlocutor the appropriate question, they want to hear about how the person spends his free time. In fact, this concept is much broader.

How can I change it?

Often there is a thought that the current life is no longer satisfying.

This can be caused by boredom, daily routine, an abundance of household chores, lack of room for self-realization, etc.

More often than not about the desire to change something in lifeappears in people who have no interest in their work and those who are unhappy in family life.

The personality must constantly be in development: gain useful experience, acquire new skills, expand your horizons, etc. The desire to change the way of life indicates the need for self-development, self-improvement.

A person at such a moment comes to understand that he is wasting his time and energy on solving issues that do not cause him any interest.

To change your lifestyle, you need to do the following:

So, a person's lifestyle is reflected in his behavior, interests, values \u200b\u200band activities. To achieve inner harmony, you need to define the desired goals and strive to achieve them.

Healthy lifestyle and health psychology:

The ideal lifestyle is not a myth, but quite achievable. Everyone can live as he dreams, and in fact lives. In fact, each of us lives as he chooses. We become aware of this when we compare ourselves to others or do things we don't want to.

Having the opportunity to see the picture of your life as a whole and realizing that this is not exactly how you want to live your life, you realize the fact that everything can be different, better. Then we ask ourselves the question, "How do I want my life to be?" and "What do I want to fill it with?"

These are the very first steps towards change. The very door to a new life. It's not about perfectionism at all. It's about not doing boring work, not doing things that don't inspire, and not wasting opportunities and time.

So, in order to take the best from life, do what really brings joy, become someone you will be proud of, help others and spend more time on those who are really dear, create new things, give and share ... and just be happy and filled with every day, do it.

1. Determine what is the ideal lifestyle for you

First, answer two questions: "How do I want my life to be?" and "What do I want to fill it with?" Answer them as fully and honestly as you can, since this will be the definition of what you want from life and who you want to become. After a while, it will become your reality.

An important thing to remember is accepting that you must change yourself in order to change your lifestyle. Many people make the mistake of starting to change the world around them, forgetting that key changes occur first in ourselves. Therefore, remember this and develop those qualities that you need to develop in order to become the person whose lifestyle you want to lead.

2. Remove excess

Without this step, you won't get far. Because now your life is simply filled with that, it does not allow you to move on. These can be people, negative thoughts, events, habits, and so on. All you need to do is get rid of the extra burden, it has no place at all in your ideal lifestyle.

3. Realize what is good for you

Now that you've got rid of unnecessary baggage, take one more step in your own development. And it's time to do as much trial and error as possible. What is meant? This is what you must learn to distinguish between what works for you, what works for you and what doesn't.

The best way to find out is to act with as many attempts as possible and preferably with mistakes. Experience is said to be the best teacher. Mistakenly, one day you will probably know if it is yours and whether it is worth moving in the chosen direction at all. Experiment.

Only by trying will you understand what kind of sport brings you results, what food satisfies your hunger and is most beneficial, what time of day is the best for productivity; habits that need to be established, how you want to look, speak and relate to the environment.

You can understand that getting up at 5 a.m. is not your habit, and it has to do with productivity, although most successful people start their day like that. But the time of your personal activity falls on lunch time or even in the evening. We are all different, so act on your instincts and do what is good for you.

Try different sleep habits, your most active hours for work, behaviors, motivational strategies, and so on with anything you feel like experimenting with. Find yours and follow it.

4. Build basic habits

Foundational habits kick-start a whole host of new good habits. Getting up early gives you the opportunity to eat breakfast, do morning exercises, and start the day in a positive way. This usually leads to reading affirmations and writing notes.

For example, going to the gym every day helps me keep fit. After that, I always take a contrast shower, which allows me to stay active. The sooner you develop positive habits, the better. Once you introduce these habits into life, your life will reach a much higher quality level. Work on the main one first, and the minor transforms after it.

Here is a list of basic habits to start your transformation with:

• daily exercise,
• meditation,
• healthy food,
• early rise,
• plan for every next day in the evening.

These habits have been proven to work wonders, and it's important to stick with them no matter what. Create habits that will stay with you for life, whether you are on vacation, whether it was a good day, and even when everything seems pointless.

5. Find your passion

This is possible if you listen to your inner voice, concentrate on what you like to do and try new things. The point is not just to understand what makes you happy, but also to start following it, learn to be the best at it and make it an integral part of life. Such a strategy will fill life with meaning, bring a sense of satisfaction, and never let you doubt that you are doing your own thing.

6. Make it your job

This is where you really have to work. But with the difference that now you will be doing what you really love, so it won't be quite work.

If you want to be a writer, write as much every day as you can. Try to improve in this while learning to promote yourself. If you are a lover of training in the gym, improve and reach the heights. Pump up your body. Explore this niche thoroughly, get possible certificates and awards. Become a personal trainer and help others achieve the desired result.

Thus, you will surround yourself with people who are striving for change and will be able to spend all your time being in the hall. Or maybe even open your own.

Once you start doing what really makes you happy, working on it, dedicating time, energy, effort and faith in your success, you can turn your passion into your work. And it will be a truly perfect job. Which should be the one who wants to lead an ideal lifestyle.

7. Determine how much time you want to spend working

Organize your work so that you work every other week, several hours a day, or 4 days a week. But this, of course, will be after you have done a really good job of building your business (it will take at least a year) and have built a system of work in the necessary way.

8. Travel more often

Traveling is one of the best things in life. And it's important to do this at least once or twice a week. Better yet, every two to three months. Most people travel to distract themselves from problems or escape reality. But since you are building a new, ideal lifestyle, you do not need to hide from reality.

Travel to explore the unknown, the unusual, and not miss the beauty that the world has to offer. So you can discover your new sides, learn more about other cultures and enjoy the beauty of the world. This way, your life will never be boring.

9. Get a hobby

Understand what else you like to do, and devote time to it.

10. Keep your nose downwind

Don't miss any opportunity to learn and try something new. It doesn't matter who you are at the moment and what your income is, there is always a lot to learn around. Don't neglect your spirit world. Meditate, read books, find inspiration in everything.

11. Be open to new things

Try to do something new, unusual, and what you fear several times a month. It can be talking with a stranger, skydiving, scuba diving, performing in front of a large audience, dancing, visiting new countries, mastering new sports. All this will fill life with unique experiences and make it even more exciting.

12. Give and be grateful

Sharing is the best investment possible and provides much more than buying new things. Learn to give others as much as you can, be it advice, help, inspiration, money, or things you don't need. Volunteer and do charity work. Also, remember to be truly grateful. Each step on a lifelong journey must be filled with acceptance and gratitude.

Anything you have, even if it's not much, is beautiful in itself and should make you feel deeply grateful. Try to experience this feeling in relation to all people, events and things that occur on your life path.

It may take a while to build your ideal lifestyle, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. In fact, anyone can do it. Burning faith, desire and persistence is enough. In the end, you will realize that all those efforts were worth it. And enjoying every moment of life is the main commandment of those who already live in their own ideal way.
