10 Small Steps to Get Motivated and Get Moving Into a New Lifestyle
10 small steps you can take today to help you get motivated and get moving into your new awesome lifestyle.
One of the biggest challenges we face when we attempt to make big lifestyle changes is that the gap between where we are right now and where we want to be can be huge! The bigger liv @ mb showflat, the gap, the more change that needs to be made, the more likely it is that we will stumble and become discouraged.
Or, in our rush to get to where we want to be, we try to do too much and get bogged down or overwhelmed. When we are already feeling anxious or frustrated or stressed, this can leave us feeling self-critical and reluctant to move forward.
Believe it or not, the best way to successfully accomplish large transformations in your life is through very small turtle steps.
I have pulled together 10 small turtle steps that anyone can start doing right now, today. These steps are easy to do, relatively quick to complete, and can be highly motivating.
So 10 small steps you can take today to start building your best, most awesome life are:
1) Do one thing differently. Take one task that you normally do on a day to day basis but do it differently. If you drive to work via the same route every day, try a different route. If you normally shop in the same grocery store or clothing store, try shopping in one you have never been in before, maybe even in a part of town you have never been to before.
2) Do one small thing that makes you feel good. Eat something rich and gooey, buy yourself a bunch of flowers, listen to your favorite song, take a 10 minute nap… whatever it is, find something that makes you feel good and do it for yourself.
3) Change one thing in your environment. Paint a room, declutter a room, clean out a closet, rearrange the furniture in a room, buy a new lamp, plant a new flower, bush, or tree in your garden… something that creates an actual change in your environment.
4) Create a vision board or a vision journal. Capture images in words or pictures of what you daydream about or of how you want your environment to look like, feel like, sound like, be like.
5) Commit an act of creativity. Begin writing in a journal, create a blog, take some photographs, draw a picture, bake a cake… Often when we feel stressed and frustrated we can lose touch with our creativity. When we lose touch with our creativity, we can find it very challenging to think of what we want to do next, or to generate ideas on what skills and focus we want to build a lifestyle career on.
6) Create a positive morning routine. Starting your day by repeating motivational affirmations, or writing in a greatitude journal, or reading a few motivational quotes, or listening to uplifting music, or meditating, or exercising… can set you up to have a phenomenal day.
