Change
Goals
A different life
Your ideal life
Do you want this?
Do you really want this?
Are you sure?
What are you willing to give up for it?
Nothing?
Than you don’t really want it!
You don’t want it bad enough.
If you don’t start doing things differently, you can’t have a different life! Period!
This may seem harsh, but it’s the truth!
Make a list of what you value most in your life, and then consider what you are willing to give up in life in order to achieve those things you value more.
It all comes down to this simple exercise: look at what you value most and then get rid of the things in your life that you value less.
Make space to achieve what you want in life.
Even if it scares the hell out of you!
It will feel uncomfortable in the beginning, uneasy, weird, … you’ll start doubting if that is what you really want. But that’s the little voice of fear you are hearing. Fear of the unknown. Don’t let it tell you what to do or not to do.
As Leonardo di Caprio puts it: “ Every next level of your life, requires a different you!”
To achieve the change you want in your life:
Make it very clear what it is you want to achieve.
This can be anything from something personal, to something on a professional level.
Start with one change at a time and break it up in little steps.
Do every day this little step towards your goal, no excuses, every day! Set triggers, reminders, … whatever it takes to make sure you stay on track.
You have to continue this new habit/ behaviour/ action until it has become a habit. This can take 30 days up to 60 days. Take your time!
You can’t create real change in 1 week!!
Once you start doing this new behaviour out of habit, you can add something:
Either you increase the action in time or in numbers:
for instance:
you do 10 more push ups,
you drink 1l of water instead of the 2 glasses you are used to,
you meditate 15 minutes instead of the 10 you are now already feeling comfortable with,
you count to 10 instead of 5 before you react in a situation,
you check you emails every 40 minutes instead of every 20 minutes….
Once you’ve achieved what you intended to, than you can look at another aspect of your life you want to change
You can achieve whatever you REALLY want to achieve.
Be very clear about what it is you want to reach. Just break it down in small enough steps and create new habits.
Get rid of old habits because you can have ANYthing but you can’t have EVERYthing!!
It’s all up to you and only you!!!
You want it? Really want it?
Make the change!
Wishing you all the courage to start making changes! Because it takes courage to overcome the fear of the unknown! Be humble enough to let go of old habits, and to be open for new ones!
