5 SIMPLE WAYS YOU CAN BUILD A HAPPIER LIFE BY CHANGING EVERYDAY ACTIONS

"When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too."


                                                                   Have you reached a stage in your life where you are not satisfied with the way your life is going and you feel you need to change your actions, well you have come to the right place and we will teach you on why changing our actions is the shortcut to changing who we are. 


    Buckle up your seat belts and let's go on this life changing ride. Let's start by going down..Pun intended.

 What is Self-Improvement?

Let's define self-improvement. The definition of self-improvement is pretty self-explanatory: Self-improvement is the improvement of one's knowledge, status, or character by one's own efforts. It's the quest to make ourselves better in any and every facet of life.

CHANGE YOUR ACTIONS NOT YOURSELF


Actions are often easier for you to change than an attitude or feeling, because it is something tangible. And, when you change actions, you influence your feelings. Finally, if you maintain your thinking on taking an action consistently, in spite of your feelings, then your feelings will eventually respond to your changed thinking and actions.

There's an old joke where a man says, "I really want to go to medical school, but it takes at least seven years--and I'll be 50 in seven years!" A wise friend replies, "And how old will you be in seven years if you don't go?"

If you're not where you want to be in your career--or, for that matter, in your life--never let yourself believe change is impossible. Don't allow your future to be limited by your age or your situation; stop being afraid of what might go wrong and start getting excited about what could go right.

Here are 5 ways you can begin right now to steer yourself toward a more fulfilled and happy life.

Forgo being a perfectionist. Perfect doesn't exist

Once you realize perfect doesn't exist, you can ease up on yourself. There's no harm in being wrong or making mistakes, as long as you're willing to make corrections. Just be yourself, flaws and all, and let people see the real you. Each of us is an imperfect human being, aware that we can't push away our failures and our flaws.

Forgive those who have hurt you but change who you surround yourself with.


You can improve your life just by changing the people you surround yourself with. If there are some who have brought negativity or hurt into your life, accept that those actions cannot be changed or undone or forgotten--only forgiven. Take it as a lesson learned and surround yourself with people who support you, guide you and make you better than you already are.

Don't compare your own life with anyone else's.


A big source of unhappiness is the idea that other people's lives are better or easier than yours. But when you compare your situation to that of others, you're comparing your complete reality to their surface. No matter how fantastic, how happy, how brilliant everything may seem on the outside, you never know what's going on the inside If you find yourself being jealous of someone, remember that people struggle with hardships and insecurities just as you do too.

Try something new to push yourself out of your comfort zone. 


When you’re making a big change in your life, you need to break free of your comfort zone to help you grow. The best way to do this is to start trying new things. Make a list of things you’ve always wanted to try, then start checking things off.

Your list might include things like, “Go to the new Thai restaurant,” “Go skydiving,” “Take an art class,” “Apply for an internship,” “Volunteer,” “Talk to a stranger at the grocery store,” “Fix my hair a different way,” and “Take a new route to work.”

Work out: Get in the sexiest most powerful shape of your life. The process of working out week in week out will change you. You will be confident, you will be disciplined. It might be hard for you to keep up in the long run, trust me i've been there and remember no gain without hard work.

Utilize the halo effect to your personal benefits.


Others include;

  • Read life changing books cause remember formal education will make you a living, self education will make you a fortune.

  • Learn to think for yourself.

  • Surround yourself with people who will tell you the truth.

  • Don't follow the crowd, follow your own way, do what you love.



Summary

Reinvention is an art. It is a process. It is not a "quick fix" or an "overnight solution." It is a deliberate practice, day in and day out, until you realize who it is who you want to be, you already were all along.


"genuine happiness can only be achieved when we transform our way of life from the unthinking pursuit of pleasure to one committed to enriching our inner lives, when we focus on "being more". Rather than simply having more".

WHY WAITING FOR THE PERFECT CIRCUMSTANCES WILL PREVENT YOU FROM SUCCEEDING

THE JOURNEY IS NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED "Every great output has a rumpled process "  As a writer, the first draft of my articles or blog post are usually not attractive. What do I mean? Surely, it will be necessary to correct some errors which includes: typographical errors, grammatical errors, and simple errors. My write-ups are usually proofread multiple times, so it can be appealing to my audience.  This same principle applies to every other great output . The captivating and delicious cake which bakers post on social media had a hell of a process. People only care about what you have to offer—the output. When your output is great, then they will care to hear your story.   What have you been wanting to start but haven't had the courage to take the leap because the process scares you? No one had it easy. It's high time you took that step and see how you will evolve over time.   Are you looking to get that extra degree but ...

Do we really have free will? Free will vs Determinism

 Is free will an illusion?  This is a question that boggles the minds of lots of people including myself, well what is life without questions? I mean these are one of  the things that makes life meaningful so without further ado I will delve into the contents. But first of all, let's talk about determinism     Determinism  according to the oxford dictionary means that "the doctrine that all events, including human action, are ultimately determined by causes regarded as external to the will. Some philosophers have taken determinism to imply that individual human beings have no free will and cannot be held morally responsible for their actions". Determinism is a belief in the inevitability of causation. Everything that happens is the only possible thing that could happen. The chains and networks of causes are so powerful and inexorable that every outcome is inevitable. We are already locked in to everything else that is going to happ...

AUTISM: HOW SHE OVERCAME THE STIGMA. A BRIEF STORY OF MEGAN

OVERCOMING THE STIGMA OF AUTISM:   Autism Spectrum Disorder is a life-long disorder that is neurological and developmental. It impacts an individual’s ability to interact with others and learn. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) encompasses a variety of developmental disorders including Asperger’s syndrome. Children can be diagnosed with ASD as early as two or three years old. This usually occurs when they don’t hit certain developmental milestones. Those with milder forms of ASD might not be diagnosed until adulthood, like in many cases of Asperger’s syndrome.  Symptoms cover two general groups; difficulties with social communication (lack of consistent eye contact, slow to respond to verbal attempts to gain attention, conversational difficulties) and repetitive behaviors (repeating words/phrases, becoming overly focused on certain subjects, sensitivity to sensory input). Sleep problems and mood irritability are also often implicated in ASD. Historically, Autism Spectrum Disorde...
