“Ask yourself, ‘What improvements can I make inside of myself that will cause a happier resonance in my life in the future?’
Here are some pointers to assist…
1. Take time in silence and solitude to question
Even if you are at home with others, find time alone. Shut the door to a room. Go outside. Take a walk. Breathe. Feel deeply. Ask yourself, ‘Who do I want to be? What habits do I want to change? How can I start to make those changes now?’ Journal if you like. Get deeply acquainted with yourself, and assess yourself honestly, without judgment. What needs to change?
2. Make small changes each day
At the beginning of each day promise yourself to make one small change to become the person you wish to be.
Suppose for example, you wish to be more confident sharing your gifts – writing, counseling, art, storytelling, branding, you name it. Challenge yourself to do so in a small way each day, perhaps with a friend, perhaps on social media, perhaps just practicing at home. Journal your progress.
Suppose you wish to change a habit – speaking more tenderly, walking taller, getting up and exercising, being more motivated. First research (Google) and read inspiring ways others have changed that habit, then challenge yourself to make small changes. Document progress.
Every day is a gift. Every day we can make small changes to become closer and closer to the person we wish to be.
3. Celebrate Success!
Reward yourself for making small changes. Compliment yourself. Be accountable to a friend or social media peers whom you’ve challenged to do the same. Journal or document progress. Take selfies of the ‘new you’ and watch how you change. Every minor decision to be the person you want to become, is really a major shift in energy.”
