Is your life not what you dreamed of? This article will inspire you to recreate it. Whether your desire for change was inspired by a midlife crisis, a near death experience, an epiphany or a painful separation, you still have time to get the life you want.

Steps

Method 1 of 5: Think back on your life

Step 1. Write down what exactly you don't like about your life

What makes you unhappy? Choose the aspect of your life that makes you feel bad and start changing.

• Do you hate your love life (or lack thereof)?

  

• Are you tired of your job and want to start a new career?

  

• Do you have bad experiences with your family?

  

• Do you hate your physical appearance and think it is harming your health?

  

• Are you irresponsible with respect to your finances and are you in debt?

  

Step 2. Decide what you would like to change if you have no obstacles

• What is your ideal partner like? Or do you need time to find out what you want before getting into a relationship?
• What did you want as a child? If that desire is no longer realistic, can you get close to it in some way or do something similar that would still make you happy?
• Do you want to do something about relationships with your family or do you want to cut off all contact?
• What do you want to change about your physical appearance? Your weight? Your hairstyle? The make-up? Your wardrobe?
• What are your economic well-being standards?

Step 3. Now, think about what works in your life instead

Perhaps, you are financially responsible and have enough savings that you can afford to take risks in your career. Or maybe you have a family that supports you in everything.

• What elements of your life are working well right now? Make a list.
• How can they help you improve those aspects of your life that aren't working? What are you willing to keep and what can you sacrifice to change what you don't like?

Method 2 of 5: Wanting is power

Step 1. Make a list of the changes you want to make and the time it takes to do everything

Read them every day when you wake up.

• Where do you want to be in 5, 10, 20 years?

• What results do you want to achieve before you die?

  

  Step 2. Choose an activity for each change you want to have to be completed in the next 48 hours

  • Break up with your partner or give him an ultimatum.

    

  • Update your resume and start looking for a job or talk to that friend of yours who works in the company you are interested in. Start taking a course.

    

  • Call or send an email to that member of your family with whom you had a fight. If a family member does nothing but hurt you, call them and clarify your needs.

    

  • Make an appointment at a beauty salon. Start walking for 30 minutes a day and try to eat healthy.

    

  • Start saving 10% of your salary. Create a plan to pay off your debts.

    

  

  Step 3. Make a list of essential values for you

  If you could be a certain type of person, who would you be?

  • Maybe, you appreciate honesty, hard work and creativity. Or maybe you want to live more spontaneously.

    

  • Live by your values and abandon those who have made you unhappy.

    

  Method 3 of 5: Prove Integrity

  

  Step 1. Identify and accept your feelings, which will guide you throughout your life

  If there is something that makes you angry, try to understand the reason and resolve the situation instead of repressing what you feel.

  

  Step 2. Your words should reflect what you hear

  Don't accept something inappropriate just because you don't want to put yourself out there. Avoid saying you feel something when, in reality, you don't.

  

  Step 3. Practice what you preach

  If you expect others to behave in a certain way, try to live by your standards.

  

  Step 4. Be consistent with your standards

  Do you want a certain trait in a partner? Then don't build relationships with people who don't reflect your needs. Do you want to take care of your body? Stop eating junk.

  

  Step 5. Repair the past

  Ask for forgiveness for the mistakes you have made that still make you suffer.

  • The only exception to this rule occurs in the event that you have committed something illegal or that you have traumatized another person so much that you cannot even talk about what happened, since it would be too painful for her to relive it. If so, you should try to forgive yourself.
  • Don't be a coward. If you know you have done something wrong and they have not forgiven you, write a letter to the person you hurt or call them; your attempt to remedy the wrong committed will be valid even if the other person does not respond positively.

  Method 4 of 5: Name your dreams

  

  Step 1. Share your hopes for your new life with others

  Talk about your dreams clearly and positively.

  

  Step 2. Be determined in achieving your goals

  Put the ideas you jotted down into action in the list-making phase.

  

  Step 3. Commit

  Surely you will find yourself facing obstacles that will make you doubt yourself. However, you can't afford to go back to a life where you didn't listen to your dreams and followed values that didn't belong to you.

  Method 5 of 5: Hang out with people who support and inspire you

  

  Step 1. Find a person who believes in you and your dreams

  We all need someone to support us, no matter what. Tell her about your victories, your falls and your doubts.

  

  Step 2. Hang out with people who have a similar mindset to yours

  You could attend sessions with a group of people who are going through the same change as you.

  

  Step 3. Be inspired by others

  Go to forums and take part in events that allow you to connect with people you admire, even if, in some cases, they may not be as great as you expected. Either way, they will almost always inspire you. And you will know people who could help you on your path.

  

  Step 4. Avoid negative people

  While it's hard to break with someone, you can always choose how you spend your time. Visit the family members who put you down the most at the holidays and don't hang out with those friends who spend and splash.

  Advice

  • Expand your comfort zone. Do something no one would expect of you. Shave your hair, wear a mini skirt or sing karaoke. Getting out of the comfort zone will allow you to get used to facing your fears and the reactions of others to your most daring actions.
  • Consider making a big change. Choose a completely different career, move to another country, or end a relationship that doesn't make you happy. Your life doesn't have to be an exhausting routine.

  Warnings

  • Respect the people who love you. Remember that the changes you want to make could be bad for your partner or children. Talk openly with the people you love and try to find a balance that allows you to protect them and, at the same time, free yourself from dissatisfaction.
  • Once you have learned to express your feelings and opinions, try not to hurt others unnecessarily. Communicate constructively.
  • Don't forget that life is short. We don't know when we will die. What do we want to be remembered for? Let's try to figure out now what we want before it's too late.
