How To Introduce Positive Change In Your Life

How To Introduce Positive Change In Your Life

At times, change can be scary, especially when you have grown accustomed to certain behaviours, habits or lifestyle choices. However, this doesn’t mean that change is unnecessary. After all, without change – we wouldn’t have been able to grow or develop. This means that you’d still be the same person you were ten years ago (and you’d be making the same questionable fashion choices to boot).

Sometimes, it will become obvious when you need to make a change. Perhaps you are no longer getting enjoyment out of your job or want to move towards being a little healthier. However, either way, acknowledging the need for change is the easy part – enacting the change is where the hard work comes in. This is because we get so used to certain routines that it can be hard to break away. This is why people return to a job that they hate, return to cigarettes after quitting smoking or even take back a partner that may have been awful to them. We take great comfort in familiarity – and change will always represent the unknown.

Nevertheless, there are certain ways in which you can start making changes in your life that last. Here are some tips to get you started!

Don’t rush the process. Change does not have to occur overnight. Instead, it can be a slow and steady process that takes you from your current situation towards your goal. For example, if you’re a smoker – transitioning from traditional cigarettes to e-cigarettes is a great way to wind down your smoking habits over time – and could make quitting much easier than going cold turkey. Even better, you can buy them online from an ecigarette shop.

 

Understand why you are doing it. Though it may seem that you are making changes in your life based on a sudden impulse, there is always an underlying reason or motivation. Understanding exactly why you want to enact change can help make you stick to it – as it gives you something to look forward too.

Don’t be too harsh on yourself. No journey is without a few road bumps, so you should treat yourself kindly when they arise. For example, if you were planning on adopting a healthier lifestyle through exercise that benefits your body and mind but skip a few workouts because you were feeling tired or lazy – understand that you also deserve a break from time to time. A few days off will not erase your progress entirely.

Hold yourself accountable. However, while its important to understand that you can give yourself a break, you should also try to hold yourself to a certain level of accountability. Write down a list of all the changes you want to make – then, whenever you feel like turning back or returning to old habits, take out the list. Think about how far you have come. Though your ultimate goals may feel far away, understand that you are closer today than you ever have been before. You can and will do this!
