We’re all looking for a step-by-step blueprint or holy grail to improve some aspect of our life. Unfortunately there is no magic formula that gives us success, because ultimately life improvement depends on the person who is implementing the plan.
However, as long as you are breathing, there should always be something in your life that you are working on improving. Simply tweaking a couple of different things here and there and achieving continual improvement, is what makes you more focused, organized, calmer and happier.
Keep in mind, you don’t have to completely overhaul your life in order to improve the quality of your life. A few simple steps each day can boost your overall well-being and make your life more meaningful. Life doesn’t have to be overwhelming or frustrating. Small adjustments to your daily routine can have a huge effect.
Here are our TOP 10 powerful ways to improve the quality of your life on multiple spectrums.
#1 Learn Something New
Learning something new on a daily basis is critical to improve our life and happiness. Gaining new knowledge affects every area of our life. It allows us to grow, mature and put life into a new perspective. Ultimately it allows us to achieve our dreams by laying the groundwork of gaining experiential knowledge about the work in our personal as well as professional lives. Start with a blog, podcast, video tutorial, magazine, TED Talk or anything else that comes to mind and spend at least 15 to 30 minutes a day to learning something new. It doesn’t have to be a huge block of time as long as you do a little bit every single day.
#2 Practice Self-Kindness
Overserve your thought processes, emotions, feelings, behaviors and habits and ask yourself if you are treating yourself with kindness. If the answer is no, figure out why and when you aren’t kind to yourself and then do the best you can to treat yourself with grace and compassion. It could be as simple as paying yourself a compliment in the morning when you look into the mirror, or saying ’no’ to happy hour with your co-workers so that you can unwind at home with an inspirational book. Or maybe it means that you write down one thing each day that you are proud of, whether that’s finishing a big project at work or finally starting to floss every day.
#3 Be Grateful and Pass it On
If you focus on what you don’t have or what went wrong in your day, you will be miserable and unhappy and only attract more negativity into your life. However, if you are grateful for the things that you do have and that go right in your life, you will be a lot happier and attract opportunities, positivity and success. Make it a point to be grateful for at least 3 things every single day and pass your gratitude on to other people as well by sending a short note of appreciation to someone who did something you appreciated.
#4 Admit Your Mistakes
While admitting your mistakes to others could start a whole new relationship with the person you share your mistake with, the most important thing is to admit your mistakes to yourself. You don’t have to shout them from the roof tops, but it sure improves your life if you sit down and have a conversation with yourself about what went wrong and take responsibility. Then analyze your mistakes and use them as an opportunity for growth and self-improvement so you won’t have to make the same mistake twice.
#5 Believe in Yourself
If you want to improve your life, you have to believe it is possible to do so and you have to believe in yourself that you have the power, determination, skills and talent to make it happen. You have to believe that tomorrow can be a better day than today. You have to believe in yourself because there isn’t a task you won’t be able to tackle, there isn’t a skill you won’t be able to learn and there isn’t a book you cannot read or a class you cannot take. There are endless possibilities available to you if you believe in yourself and with that you will tremendously improve your life.
#6 Give Up Excuses
We’ve all been there, if we don’t want to do something or when we did something wrong we come up with stories and excuses that put us into a victim role, which only convinces us that we are hopeless. However, we are not. We have the power to improve our life and we are capable of so much more than we think. Make a commitment to improving your life and stop making excuses whenever an obstacle or challenge comes your way.
#7 Embrace Change
Change is the only constant in life we have so it is essential to join the flow of life and ride wherever the waves take us. This is not about survival of the fittest but rather that the ones who can adapt to change the best will be able to improve their quality of life and thrive. Learn to love change, learn to let go and try something new and learn to remove attachment to all things. Your life will improve dramatically when you can quickly adapt to change and move in a new direction.
#8 Improve Your Confidence
Confidence is the secret key to everything. Keep in mind, confidence is not something that is reserved for a select, lucky few. It is something that is innate to all of us, we just lose it once we start comparing ourselves to others and we learn what failure is. Any tiny mistake chips away at our confidence and soon enough we start to second guess ourselves and our decisions. Relearn how to improve your confidence and strangely enough it more often than not comes from doing what we fear the most. Prove to yourself that you are better than what you think.
#9 Change Your Energy
You can improve your life by changing your energy on all levels. On the physical level you can change your energy by cleaning out your body. Eat a healthy, nutrient-dense diet, exercise regularly, get adequate sleep and cleanse regularly. On a mental level, change your energy by making sure you only consume information that raises your vibration and turn off negative news and eliminate the negative people around you. Spiritually you can change your energy by meditating daily and cleansing your chakras. Do anything you can to change your energy into a positive vibration.
#10 Travel More
Nothing can improve your life quite like traveling more. It gives you the freedom and space to redefine the person you want to be. And besides being able to experiment with who you want to be, you build confidence, open up your mind, learn to break down barriers, step outside your comfort zone to try new things and meet new people and you increase your own smarts. Traveling connects you to life and child-like wonder.
Improving our life doesn’t have to be about making one big, giant gesture. It is about constantly working on improving small things in our everyday life. Try one or two or five or all of our above tips and see if they can help you to become a better version of yourself and improve the quality of your life.
WE CAN ALL GO FROM WHERE WE ARE TO WHERE WE WANT TO BE
