You’re stuck
You feel unhappy
You are not satisfied with your life
You want change
…
Look at your habits!
What do you do on a daily basis?
Look closely and you’ll be flabbergasted at what you see !!
The good news is:
By changing your daily habits, you’ll create a whole different life without having to climb the Mount Everest, go to a zen retreat in Nepal, moving to Belize,…to feel happy and content.
Create healthy habits!
If you choose something long enough, it will choose you back.
So look at:
what do you eat?
What do you drink?
What do you listen to?
What are you looking at?
What do you read?
It seems quite simple but if you think about it for a moment, it does make sense!!
What do you eat?
If you consider how many tons ( yes, quite scary, isn’t it) of food you put into your mouth during your entire life, then it seems a no brainer that you better put healthy food in your body instead of tons of junk!! ( if you scroll through my blogs, you’ll find a whole blog about healthy food)
What do you drink?
You really are surprised that your hands start shaking after you’ve had your 6th cup of coffee??? Or that you start putting on weight even though you’re not eating a lot but maybe drinking a lot of alcohol? Or that you have trouble sleeping with a belly full of garbage???
What do you listen to?
You may not be into that: “music influences the growth of plants, the behaviour of animals,”… but just think for a moment, or even better, test it out!
Put on some really kick ass music in your car: do you feel you want to start driving faster? Do you feel the adrenaline pumping?
And then put on some zen flute music, like the one you hear in spa centers ( hmmm I wonder why…???)
So I think it’s safe to say that music does influence our state of mind hence listen to cheerful music and you’ll feel a lot happier than always listening to all the heartache in the world!
The same goes for all the news bulletins, and talkshows where they are constantly focussing on the negative.
What are you looking at?
Here too: garbage in, garbage out. If you are really interested in who cheated on who on Temptation Island, who gossiped about whom, who is morbidly overweight,…. Well I am afraid you won’t feel happy, inspired, energized,…. So be very selective! Or even better: turn off the television. You know if you do the math:
let’s say, 2 hours a day ( which is rather realistic),
that means 728 hours/year,
which are…….!!!!!!!19 work weeks in front of the TV!!!!!
Quite shocking, isn’t it??
And then there’s of course the gaming world too, same here! How many do you need to have killed to start feeling happy…?????
What are you reading?
Read inspiring books, biographies of people you admire, old books which make you live in another time, you’ll be amazed by what you can learn: similarities and differences, happy books,….You enter a whole other world where you can feel good and happy! And guess what, when you put down that book, you’ll have a smile on your face!!! And that’s exactly what you wanted, isn’t it???
You see how habits create your life, your mindset and how you can control it by choosing well!!
So I invite you all to take an honest look at the above items in your life and make the necessary changes!
Stick to them and they’ll become habits!
And those habits will create the future you crave!
It’s all in your hands!!!!!!
Wishing you all very positive, happy, inspiring habits, hence future!!!!!
Thank you all for reading me!!!
