So, how do you change your life? If you are like most people, your life is constantly changing, but that does not mean you are changing your life.
A person who wants to change their life is looking for different results; therefore, their inner desire becomes one of feeling like things ought to improve. But how do you change your life so that your technique gets you the change in results you want?
Simple. To change your life, you need to change your routines!
We all have routines, sometimes conscious and other times unconscious. The relevance is back to results and identifying areas where you want to see better results.
A student may want better grades.
A golfer may want straighter shots.
A health-minded person may want to lose weight and get strong.
A business owner may want more profits.
A chef may want more compliments.
Whatever your desire, you will generally get it by changing up your routine.
What must you do to achieve your desired result if you are health-minded?
Let’s focus on that for today as our example.
First and foremost, you would identify your goal to become healthy as a commitment backed up by a strong reason. Otherwise, you will need more will to carry through your plan.
Secondly, you would do well to follow a plan on how to eat for health and exercise to become more healthy.
Thirdly, you should get off to a good start if you change something in your routine that supports the above first two points.
Here is what that looks like:
Instead of reminding yourself to prioritize your goal of being healthy, you might start a new routine of doing your reminder as soon as you wake up and before you go to the bathroom. A simple way to do that would be to say, "I will do everything I can today to live with great health. I will eat only healthy food and I will spend 30 minutes exercising."
This is more than an affirmation. It sets your mind up with conscious awareness so that your thinking focuses on your goal. By making this the first thing you do before leaving your bed, you have set up a new routine.
Your second step is to do the thing—eat well and exercise. As for a routine change, this would include scheduling a fixed time to exercise and prepping healthy meals to last you two or three days.
Having routines makes you better because they foster your sense of organization, time management, setting priorities, and purpose in life. Having routines and changing them is a major key to living an awesome life. Not paying attention to your routines and changing them once in a while will lead to drifting the seas like a rudderless sailboat that goes wherever the wind blows.
You need friendly winds and a rudder to establish rock-solid routines!
Action steps for changing your routines:
Identify the area of life in which you want to see better results.
Create your Why and make it a big why you want the better results.
Change your timings and habits to foster the results you desire.
Follow a plan and start small. Get on a roll, and don't wimp out.
Check results once a week. If you are improving, keep going or change your sail and rudder.
Be your cheerleader. Celebrate and criticize in private with yourself. But never give up!
If you want to change your life, you will have to change your routines. When you do this and get results, your life will become more awesome, and you will make the most of the time you have left on this planet.
Remember this, too. Life is not a rehearsal so you may as well get at it.
