Regardless of our best intentions, our lives can take a wrong turn or get derailed and we need to get back on track. It becomes more noticeable when every day starts to feel like a struggle, or the days seem to blend endlessly into one another. Before taking a drastic course correction take a moment to reassess where you are and where you’d like to be. What is holding you back or keeping you from reaching your goals?
Whether right now is a terrible time in your life or you’re wanting to simply head in a new direction, here are some suggestions to help you begin to recognize the things that are blocking you from your desired path. Address them and get back on track.
Stop complaining and appreciate how lucky you are every day. Embrace loneliness and reinvent yourself in the process.
Say goodbye to the people and activities that don’t bring positive energy into your life. You’re going up! Don’t let others hold you down.
Turn off the TV and set internet controls if you need help staying focused.
Pick up one skill you want to cultivate and put all your effort into developing it. You might find you have a new passion!
Commit to the goals you set and never look back. It’s time to believe in yourself again.
Get active and sweat every day to boost your mood.
Fail forward. Be your own teacher and learn from every mistake you make.
Don’t get worked up over things you can’t change, people you can’t change.
Control only what you can. Everything else, let go.
Embrace change and welcome challenges.
Remember, in the same way it has taken us one day at a time to get where we are, it is going to take one day at a time to get where we want to be. Just a 1% change each day will make you 37 times better in one year.
