Good afternoon, dear readers! Recently I thought that every person wants a better life for themselves. Be happy, content and in harmony with the world around you. But how to achieve this, what steps need to be taken? After all, you can get lost in the labyrinth of self-development, lose motivation and end up depressed that life is not a success. I propose to talk today about where to start to change your life for the better.
Each of us at least once in our lives said to ourselves: I’ll start running on Monday, after the New Year I’ll start new life, from the first of March I will eat differently and other promises. Many people want to change their lives, but the first steps are not entirely clear.
The first thing you need to remember is that there is no magic Monday that will start your best life. You can convince yourself as much as you like that this Monday will be the fateful day and everything will begin to change. I even started collecting personal stories from people about how such events work.
One of my friends promised herself to write a resume on Monday and start searching new job. So she still works in her old company. Another friend decided to move to another city on the first of March. Yesterday I met him in the store. He still hasn't gotten his act together.
There are also positive stories when people really begin to change something in their lives on Monday. They are great guys. But more often than not, a person starts running, and the passion disappears after a few days. And the decision to run starting on Monday no longer seems so tempting.
With all this, I am trying to tell you that if you decide to change something, then you should not look for the great day from which everything will begin. This needs to happen right here and right now.
It was on that day when you decided to change your life. It is on this day that you should already take your first steps. And then it may happen that on Monday you didn’t have enough time, there were more important things to do, and then the idea completely faded into the background. This way you won't change anything.
Another rule of change in life is a clear plan of action.
When clients say “I want to change their life for the better,” I always clarify what “better” means. Ask yourself the same question. Perhaps this means four vacations a year instead of one. Maybe by better life you mean starting a family.
In order to start changing your life, you should make a plan that clearly outlines small goals. You shouldn't rush right off the bat and immediately wave at the question. To do this, you have your whole life ahead of you. Let's just start by identifying your wants and needs.
Take a piece of paper and a pen. You can start with something simple: how you see your life now. Describe your work, your marital status, communication with friends, health, hobbies and interests. Then put down your pen and look at your life on a piece of paper. Ask yourself: what do I want to change? Think about whether you are satisfied with your job, whether you have enough time for all your hobbies, who surrounds you. Then take the pen again and on a new sheet of paper write everything that you would like to change in yourself, in life, in your environment, in your work.
Once you have a piece of paper with the changes you want, write down how you can achieve this. What do you need to change jobs? How you can find new friends, what you need in order to develop a new hobby.
The main thing is to understand how you will change. You can simply say that I want to change my life for the better throughout my entire life. But the result will not come from this. When you have a clear plan, then you understand what goals you need to achieve. After this, you can begin to mark the time.
So, in front of you lies a piece of paper with plans for the future. But so that this does not remain just a piece of paper with notes, now you need to enter the time that you are willing to spend on this or that action.
For example, you have an item to change jobs. To do this, you need to write a resume, analyze the job market, and go to several interviews. You can set yourself time limits: in 7 days I must write a resume and analyze vacancies. Next, in thirty days I have to go to several interviews. Thus, you create a calendar of changes for yourself.
Schedule your next month not just by day, but by hour. Write down how much time you spend on a hobby, such as playing the guitar. Thanks to the distribution of time, you can throw away a huge number of unnecessary things.
If you watch an episode of your favorite TV series every day, think about how you can spend those forty minutes more productively. I'm not advocating that you don't rest at all. Save the series for the weekend or a few days a week. But not every day. At this time you should change your life for the better. Although, to be honest, happy people hardly watch TV. All news can be found on specialized sources. Entertainment activities It’s better to do it live than to watch them on TV. Think about it.
Remove from your life all those things that simply waste your time without giving anything in return. Time is an invaluable resource that people have. But many people prefer to spend it nowhere. Stop being that person. Fill your life.
On the topic of harmonious distribution of time, I wrote a very useful article, I recommend that you read it.
The most difficult thing in a new business is motivation. Is it possible to do something well without being interested in the matter? Can. I’ll tell you more, even in his favorite business, a person must do things that he cannot stand.
For example, one of my friends is a lawyer and she really loves the trial. She absolutely loves speaking in court. But she hates the paperwork that is integral part her work. And when I ask her how she copes with the routine, she answers: the pleasure of court gives me the strength to even sign papers.
Remember that there are no easy ways. It's all a myth that everything in life should be easy, simple and achieved without effort. Have you seen at least one Olympic champion who would say: yes, I just decided to try to compete and won. No, they all talk about tiring, difficult, and sometimes unbearable workouts.
This is exactly how things are with life. In order for her to be happy, harmonious, fulfilled and the best, you will have to fight hard. Now comes the era of the lazy man. Everyone wants a lot at once, but no one wants to work and put in the effort. When you understand this, then you will not be faced with the question of motivation.
Otherwise, you can start changing for the sake of something or someone. For example, for the sake of your mother or a loved one. Perhaps this way you will have more strength to start changing your life for the better.
It's never too late to change your life, no matter how banal it may sound. In my memory, there are several examples where women and men radically changed themselves at both 30 and 40 years old. I really love the quote from the movie “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears” that at forty life is just beginning.
Don’t give up on yourself because you’re already thirty-five and haven’t achieved anything. People started at a later age. There are a huge number of examples of successful and famous people who came out of the shadows after sixty. So, it all depends on you.
Only you have the right to completely change yourself. Even when you already have children, long experience in one place, etc. You may wake up in the morning and decide that from this day on everything will be different. And no one can stop you. If you want to change, go ahead.
Thoughts about the fact that I should have been doing this while I was at school and so on, only slow you down. It is necessary to expel all such thoughts from your head and tune in to change. As I already said, write a clear plan, set a time frame and start right now, not on Monday. Then you will be much closer to success.
I hope you will listen to at least one of my advice and start changing today. Remember that time flies at a breakneck speed and tomorrow will already be twenty-four minutes. Don't put off change for too long. Don't justify your stagnation and indecision. Take action.

Thank chance for the experience that opens doors to a new and better life. Be positive about everything. Every situation is two sides of the same coin.

You will never change your life until you change something you do every day.

Start with a simple question: what do you want your life to be?
Do you want to become a writer, musician, designer, programmer, polyglot, carpenter, Manga artist, entrepreneur or expert in any field?
How do you plan to achieve this? Do you want to write your wishes on a piece of paper, put it in a bottle and throw it into the sea in the hope that they will come true? Unfortunately, the universe will not do the work for you. You will have to take on your life with your own hands.
Have you set yourself a big and meaningful goal to achieve by the end of the year or within the next three months? The work doesn't end there. You've probably already learned from your life experience that setting long-term goals doesn't always work. How often has a strategy like this led you to achieve your goal?
Based on my 7 years of experience during which I conducted various experiments, I managed to derive the law: “ nothing will change until you start making daily changes.».
I've tried to come up with a system of weekly changes, things to do every other day, big monthly goals, and many other variations on the theme. None of this worked other than daily changes.
If you don't want to change your daily life, then you generally don't want to change it in the intended way. You just love the idea of learning how to draw/speak Japanese/play the guitar/code and so on. But you don't really want to do anything.
Pull yourself together and start changing your life every day. Let's find out how it's done!
For clarity, we list several goals:
How can these ultimate goals be transformed into a system of daily change? Think about what daily actions would help you move forward and be closer to your goal? Sometimes detailing is not easy. Therefore, I offer a few examples for clarity:
Lose weight. Start walking every day. First 10 minutes. After a week - 15. Then 20... One day, when you walk 30-40 minutes a day, make a new change - start drinking water instead of soda and soda.
To write a book. Write for 10 minutes a day.
Defeat procrastination. Every morning, find the most important task for that day and work on it for 10 minutes before you go to your browser or grab your mobile phone.
Fall in love. Go somewhere every day and meet new people. Or work every day to become an exciting person.
Be happy. Do things every day that help make the world a better place, help people.
Travel around the world. Start saving money (see next point). Or start selling your items until all your possessions fit into your backpack. Then hitchhike.
To save money. Start reducing your costs little by little. Start by getting into the habit of eating and cooking at home. Sell your car and start walking, biking or taking the train. Find a smaller house (an option adapted for Russia - rent a smaller apartment). Instead of buying things and services, go for those that won't cost you a pretty penny.
Drink more water. Drink water when you wake up and then every hour when you take a break (about once an hour).
Learn Spanish. Learn sentences in Spanish using Anki and listen to educational audio recordings in Spanish for 10 minutes a day (for example, there are free lessons).
Take more photos. Take pictures during your lunch break (but not of what you eat) and post them on your blog.
So, you get the idea. Not all of the examples listed above are perfect, but you can always come up with something that works better for you. The point is to do this daily.
This method is very easy to implement and if you follow it exactly, it will lead you to the result:
1. One change at a time. You can break this rule, but don't be surprised if you end up failing. Work on one thing a month before adding another change. Add a new change only if you have successfully completed the first one.
2. Start with small changes. I have already talked about this a thousand times and yet no one remembers about it. Start with 10 minutes a day or even less. If change is difficult for you, it's even better to start with 5 minutes. If you can’t even do 5 minutes, reduce the interval to two.
3. Take steps to instill a new habit at the same time. Of course, not literally at the same minute at exactly 6 am, but after the same trigger in your Everyday life: after you drink your first cup of coffee in the morning, immediately after arriving at work, after returning home, after brushing your teeth, taking a shower, having breakfast, waking up, having lunch, or turning on the computer.
4. Share your intentions with someone. Better with several people. Make sure they are people whose opinions you respect. For example, I made a commitment to my friend Tynan to learn PHP every 10 minutes a day. I made this commitment also to my wife, my blog readers, my children and many others.
5. Be responsible. Every day I fill out Google spreadsheets with what I did each day and for how many minutes (talking about new things you try to bring into your life). For example, how much programming did you do? And my friend, whom I wrote about above, has access to this document. He controls me. The tool you use to maintain internal discipline does not matter - it could be posts on Twitter, Facebook or a personal report to the person who helps you. You need to trust that your partner is monitoring you every day, not every month. If he doesn't do this, then find another person who will agree to help you.
6. Set punishment or reward depending on the result. The most important motivation for exercising is that if you fail to instill a good habit in yourself, then people will respect you less, and if you succeed, they will respect you more. If your reporting system is not configured this way, you will have to find new way to make it work. You may need to change the partner who helps you. You can also add a little fun to your daily tasks. I promised that I would eat whale sushi if I didn’t make the daily changes I had planned for myself (I would make them, since eating a whale for me is the same as eating a cow or a child, that is, impossible). In another case, I promised that I would sing a song in front of strangers Japanese, if I suddenly screw up. Make the consequences unbearable for yourself if you miss two days and impossible if you miss three days. You can set yourself a reward if you suddenly haven’t missed a single day during the week.
7. Enjoy the changes. If doing these new daily activities makes you feel tired, or if doing these activities feels like a chore, then you are doing something wrong. Find a way to enjoy these activities, otherwise over time you will abandon this idea. Or find other things that matter more to you when they come into your life.
That's all. Follow these 7 simple steps and your life will change. We will complete each of these steps. You can start making changes in your life today.
What did you do today to change your life?
A year from now, you will regret not taking action today.

Let's talk about a very important and relevant topic: how to start changing, how to change yourself and your life for the better? Not so long ago, in an article about me, I wrote that the life of anyone modern man does not stand still, changes in it are inevitable in any case, and in order to best adapt your life to such conditions, you must not wait for changes to come from the outside, but initiate them yourself: change yourself and your life for the better.
When changes in life come from the outside, without the will of the person himself, most often they lead to some kind of deterioration and have a negative effect. You can change yourself and your life for the better only by initiating changes yourself.
However, it is very difficult psychologically for most people to start changing. After all, to do this you need to get out of your comfort zone, the creation of which has already spent a certain amount of time, effort, and possibly money. How to overcome this psychological discomfort, how to change your life for the better - more on that later.
So, first of all, to start changes in life, I recommend dividing them into 2 large areas:
Let me explain. By circumstances I mean all the conditions in which a person lives. Moreover, these conditions may or may not depend on the person, and it is necessary to strive to change those circumstances that do not satisfy the person and depend on him, accepting the rest as they are, even if they also do not satisfy.
For example, personal life, work, profession, sources of income, hobbies, place of residence - these are all those life circumstances that a person can influence if he wants to change his life for the better. But the price level, tax rates, and laws of the country are circumstances that a person cannot change, and there is no point in wasting one’s energy on it. Although, by and large, a person can move to another country, where all this will suit him, but these are already too global changes, I think that those who are just thinking about how to start changing are definitely not ready for this.
And if we talk about how to change oneself, then by this I mean changing one’s own attitude towards ongoing processes and phenomena, obtaining what is necessary for life.
To start changing yourself and your life, highlight separately the life circumstances and personal qualities that do not suit you and that you would like to change.
A serious mistake many people make when thinking about how to change their lives is that they incorrectly classify some personal factors or life circumstances as beyond their control, while at the same time trying to change those that really do not depend on them. That is, they evaluate themselves and their capabilities biasedly. Well, for example, instead of changing something in themselves, they try to change the people around them: their significant other, their friends, colleagues, the society in which they find themselves. Such people’s global plans include changing their country for the better or saving the world from a universal catastrophe.
Good goals? It would seem so. The only question is how to go about achieving them. If a person tries to change everything around him without changing himself, this undertaking is obviously doomed to failure. Most likely, such a person will only turn everyone around him against himself, while he himself will not achieve anything and will not change the world. As a result, he will experience a lot of wasted time, energy, and deep disappointment. It would be much more correct to change what he specifically can do: that is, himself and his life circumstances, thereby making his modest contribution to changing the country and the world. After all, the country and the world are made up of people, and if each of them begins to change their lives for the better, both the country and the world will change.
Another common problem is this: many people don't even think about how to change themselves because they think it's impossible. Their life principle: “I am who I am, and I will not become anyone else.” Such conclusions are based on the erroneous opinion that a person’s character cannot be changed. In fact, this is absolutely not true: you can change your character if you work at it. And in some cases, it can even change itself under the influence of some changed life circumstances.
When thinking about how to start changing, you should understand that if you want, you can change even those qualities of yourself that, at first glance, seem unchanged. Well, for example:
– Appearance and physical characteristics. There are many examples when the “ugly duckling” turned into a “beautiful swan”. You need to work on yourself, on your body, play sports, and in extreme cases, now you can even use the services of plastic surgeons. If it really helps you change your life for the better, then why not?
– Mind and intellect. If you have the desire and desire, you can very significantly develop your mental abilities. Now there are plenty of opportunities for this: you need to read a lot of useful literature, get useful information from the Internet, audio books, video lessons and other sources. There are examples in history when people who did poorly at school later became geniuses and made discoveries on a global scale.
– Beliefs. Many people are prevented from changing their lives for the better by the so-called. . People are convinced that “this is fate, life is unfair, and you can’t achieve more.” This is an initially wrong position. As soon as you change your psychology of poverty to, you yourself will notice how your life will begin to change for the better.
– Habits. Changing your habits will also not be a problem, and at the same time such changes will help develop strong-willed personality traits, which is also very important for changing life for the better. You must try to get rid of bad habits and develop good ones. A good helper in this it will become .
– Financial position. Moreover, this is an indicator that can and should be changed for the better. For this there are a great many useful tools, most of which are already described on the Financial Genius website. If you are thinking about how to change yourself and your life for the better, one of the directions you should definitely follow.
However, the greatest importance in order to begin to change for the better will not be a change in the above-mentioned qualities, but a change in character, namely, will, volitional qualities. Because everything else will flow from this.
To change yourself and your life for the better, you must, first of all, strengthen your strong-willed qualities and change your character.
As I already wrote, this is not easy to do if we are talking about an adult with an already formed character, but it is possible. How? First of all, it is necessary to objectively identify those weak sides your character that you would like to change. Then try to do things that are characteristic of the character you are striving for.
For example, you are too timid by nature. This means that try to take the initiative as often as possible, take on the role of a leader in the company, and do things that you didn’t do before because of your timidity.
Or you are afraid of many things. In this case, regularly do something bold, risky behavior, take advantage of some risky attractions, start playing risky sports. At first it will be very difficult for you to overcome your fear, but each time it will become easier because your character will begin to change for the better.
From individual actions habits are developed, from habits - character, and from character - further changes for the better. Therefore, if you don’t know how to change yourself, start with individual actions.
In particular, the following actions will help you begin to change for the better:
By regularly doing such things, you will begin to change your character, and therefore yourself, your life for the better.
When talking about how to start changing, one cannot fail to mention the most important thing, where it all begins: setting goals and objectives. That is, you must immediately determine the goals for the sake of which all your changes will occur. It will help you to correctly formulate a goal, according to which your goal should be specific, measurable, achievable, supported by resources and set in time.
Moreover, it is very important to be able to choose the shortest, optimal path to achieve the goal. Practice shows that many people set the right goals for themselves, but at the same time do not know how to look for the right path to achieve them.
For example, let's take the most common goal that most young people set for themselves before starting adulthood: to become rich and financially independent. The right goal? Quite, if only to specify it as much as possible (I discussed how to do this specifically for this purpose using an example in the article)
But how to achieve this goal? Most people think something like this: first you need to study at an institute, get a promising specialty, then get a job in a good company, gain experience, climb up the ladder. career ladder, as a result, become the head of a company and earn good money.
Can a person become rich and financially independent, change his life for the better if he follows this path? I'm sure that in 90% of cases - no. Look around: everyone once imagined changing their lives for the better this way, but which of them was actually able to achieve something in this way? Probably a few out of thousands. And this is quite logical and natural, now I will explain why.
Firstly, wealth and financial independence are not measured by the amount of earnings, but depend simultaneously on the income and expenditure parts of the personal budget. There is not a word about planning expenses here. Secondly, in the first 5 years you will have to invest a lot of money in training (even if it itself is free, which is not easy to achieve, the learning process entails many additional expenses). Further, at least 2-3 years of work will be needed just to “recoup” the costs of training. Thirdly, relying on a single source of income in order to achieve wealth, especially active earning through it, is, at a minimum, short-sighted, but rather simply stupid. Fourthly, it does not take into account how a person plans to provide himself with at least the most necessary things for life: housing, property. Through salary? Funny... Through loans? You will have to pay off debts all your life... And when will that same wealth come? And if you live in a rented apartment, a good part of your salary, even if it is large by today’s standards, will be spent on paying rent, and there will be nothing left for accumulating wealth. What if you suddenly get fired from your job in the midst of a financial crisis? How will loans, rent, and other expenses be repaid? You can find a number of other points that directly indicate that this path is in the overwhelming majority of cases a dead end. I say again: look around, and you will see this in many living examples.
Therefore, if you are thinking about how to change yourself and your life for the better, stereotypical thinking, like that described in the example above, needs to be discarded: it will not lead you to achieve your goals. We need to look for an effective, real and relevant way for the present time to achieve our goals.
How to do it? First of all, you need to focus on your own financial future, since achieving almost any life goal is inextricably linked with the financial component. Roughly speaking, if there is no money, you will not be able to achieve your goal. In the example above, the person is basically planning how he will make money first for his institute (by paying for his training), then for his employer (by doing work for him and earning him a profit). Perhaps another bank (if it takes out a loan). But not for myself!
If you want to start changing, change yourself and your life for the better, you definitely need to immediately start taking care of. Because success in achieving your goals will largely depend on it. Without financial resources, you are unlikely to be able to change your life for the better.

Hello dear readers. The daily routine pulls us into its networks, which is why we simply stop appreciating what we have. When nothing new happens for a long time, it begins to seem that our life does not represent anything valuable. In general, because of such things, our mood begins to deteriorate, which can even lead to depression. If you're tired of waking up and going to bed in a bad mood because you're not happy with your life, then it's time to radically change it. Do what you have long dreamed of, rather than succumb to social pressure. Every person must find in his life what will truly bring him happiness. Are you afraid of change? You will have to somehow overcome this, since you are unlikely to be able to achieve happiness in other ways.
Stop living the same situations every day, because life will pass like one day, and you won’t even have time to look back.
Become the initiator of change in your own life, and you will see how everything changes for the better.
Many people simply don’t know where to start, because starting from scratch is always difficult. But, we will be happy to help you start this process.
Specifically: several will help you with this practical advice, which will lead you to the main goal - happiness.
Every day we make grandiose plans about how cool our lives can turn with one snap of our fingers.
But, for some reason, we think that this can happen by itself, and nothing needs to be done for it. Money will fall from the sky tomorrow at noon, and new flat will appear out of nowhere in exactly one year. No, that doesn't happen.
At least - only in exceptional cases. If you really want change, then everything depends on you, and only on you.
When we come to the conclusion that such a development of events does not suit us, we usually make a million plans for ourselves, which in the morning will be forgotten like a dream.
But by the evening the thoughts will return again, and you will reproach yourself for not being able to cope with this on your own and achieve what you set out to do.
It is in this way that a person gradually falls into depression, constantly reproaching himself for all the troubles that happened to him. Therefore, when the first such thoughts appear, you just need to start acting.
Set yourself a clear goal, which will become your guide in the process of resolving all your problems.
Surely everyone has heard the phrase “Do you want to change your life? Begin with yourself". It seems clear to everyone, although few have any idea how to implement it.
Of course, you shouldn’t break yourself, but you should still make some changes to your own habits. Believe me, it will make your life much easier.

✔ Don't hide from people when they offer you help when they see that you're feeling bad. It is worth listening to the opinions of your friends on an issue that worries you.
In addition, if some good friend of yours is a fairly confident person who always achieves his goal, then you should talk to him all the more.
✔ Chat with friends as much as possible. Nobody forces you to tell everyone about your problems. Unobtrusive communication with close friends will help you take your mind off your problems and just have a good time.

All these methods will help you start a new life, but this will only happen if you really want it.
After all, we often just complain about our life, but are not even going to do anything to make it change at least a little for the better.
Set yourself a specific goal and go towards it, not paying attention to obstacles, and in no case looking back.
