Life can get very hectic at points and it might feel as if there was nothing more we can do with our current situation. I’m here to tell you that there is so much more that one can do in order to live a better life.
We must live our lives day by day and see that the world isn’t so bad after all. We choose our own destiny and we choose how to live our lives, the question is how do you live yours?
Mindset
Growing up in a small town, my mindset was not as good as it could be. We tend to get stuck in the mindset of our surroundings, believing what others tell us is true. The reality is that we can shift that and have our own way of thinking. As I have learned that having a growth mindset, full of positivity and appreciating everything will take your further in life than you ever thought.
But first we will need to get out of the environment that is keeping us from that, which is why I chose to move away once I finished high school. I then started to see the changes that can happen with just being on your own, creating your own beliefs and changing your mindset to success.
Health
Taking care of our health is another important part of making it a daily routine. I know it might seem obvious and might have heard it several times but it is the truth. I didn’t realize this till my senior year of high school. I was always running wanting to lose weight, yet I would always eat junk food after everyone and wondered why I wasn’t loosing anything. Then my senior year hit and I started to focus more on my health, I Automatically felt a change when I started to eat the proper food and not be over eating.
I ate vegetables, chicken, and whole grains and many other great foods. It did not only make me lose weight but It made me feel so much better overall. I noticed a difference in the way I interacted with others, thought about myself, and way I looked at the world. It is simpler than we make it out to be, the tough part is just starting and sticking with the diet. But the overall results are worth every hardship.
Relationships
To live a better quality life, we must look at our relationships as well. Is the person I am interacting right now on the daily making me better or just bringing me down? Are they motivating me or making me feel hopeless and always bad about situations. When I realized the importance of this, I started to eliminate friends. I canceled some of my closes friends because all they had to tell me was negative words. Saying I am not good enough, smart enough, and kept me from growing into a confident person.
Once we realize that having good relationships in our lives everyday, we will see the changes. The quality of our lives will become better and we will understand why we had to cancel those of the past. It is never personal, in life we must understand that in order to grow we must see who helps us grow and who doesn’t. We are only here for a certain amount of time and the longer we wait, the closer we get to never achieving true clarity and happiness.
Never Ending
The final thing I would like to say and want you to take from all of this, is that it is a never ending cycle. We must constantly look for ways to grow in our lives. It is difficult to see what must be improved but if we accept how we are, and we see the defects that need to be improved, the outcome is much greater. The quality will be something that you never thought possible. Wether it is exercising, eating healthier, stop drinking or smoking for a while, we must become aware of our habits and cut off the ones that don’t do us any good. Once we see that and apply it to our lives we must be as consistent as we can because like anything we are meant to grow, within and out. So never stop growing because we deserve so much more out of life.
