Life is filled with situations
that require change, which can be scary even when it's the best way forward.
People are frequently stuck in bad habits and toxic relationship cycles,
constantly fearful of taking ownership of their lives. Deciding
to change your life, however big or small, requires commitment.
When you move from one
situation to the next, you'll hit a transition period and might need coping
mechanisms to navigate the murky waters. If you're trapped in a cycle of bad
habits and have decided to implement a few life changes, you can't always
expect smooth sailing. The rollercoaster that comes with change is your
opportunity to turn bad habits into good habits and embrace whatever comes your
way.
The period between jobs,
relationships, or moving is the perfect time to form new habits and work
towards a version of yourself that you'd like to become.
1. Follow the Right Career Path
If you continuously hit
roadblocks when it comes to finding a new
career, it's time for a change.
Perhaps the reason you aren't finding a new 9-to-5 job is that you don't really
want to go down that path again, but you're too scared to start your own
business.
When you do your research and
take it one step at a time, you'll find there are numerous benefits to being
your own boss.
•
Flexible scheduling:
Work later so you can enjoy time off during the day. Work on the weekends if
you need weekdays to run errands. Owning a business is hard work, but your time
is your own.
•
Sense of pride:
Knowing that you've finally followed your dreams and are doing what you want is
satisfying.
•
Greater control: Make
your own executive and financial decisions.
There are plenty of online
resources to help you start your own business.
From business coaching to legal support to filling out forms to start an LLC, you can find help with a quick Google search. You can
even use a business registration company to help with the formation process.
2. Change Your Diet and Exercise
Been trapped in a cycle of
eating badly for years and want to change your mindset? If you don't feel you
can tackle this on your own, consult a registered dietitian to help you form new eating habits. Design meal plans
according to your food preferences. Eventually, this style of living will
become a healthy habit.
Starting a new exercise
routine can be daunting. Find something you enjoy and turn it into a sport.
Start an obscure sport that you always wanted to try when you were younger or
sign up for online fitness classes. If something isn't enjoyable, the likelihood of
continuing is slim.
3. Get Rid of Negative Relationships
Being in a toxic situation can
be draining and stressful. Bad relationships can impact all areas of your life
and make you too exhausted to focus on anything else. These situations are hard
to walk away from, and you can end up moving from one toxic situation to
another. Enlist the help of a therapist to change unhealthy patterns.
4. Turn Bad Habits Into Positive Habits
To do something differently,
you need to think differently. When you embrace change, you provide yourself
with an opportunity for growth. Don't let your old habits stand in the way of
new ideas.
