Top 10 Ways to Transform your Life

- Give upbeing comfortable: humans love change if it's that 10 million dollar lottery ticket coming through. The reason being we a have a clear idea of how wealth will impact us and almost all of our references are positive -few of us have memories (patterns and beliefs), where we attracted large sums of money and were dissapointed by the experience. Starting a new business or getting involved in a new relationship is another story as the brain thinks it knows what the experience will be like.
- Give up all negative addictions: My definition of an addiction is anything you can't stop. We have emotional addictions, people addictions and substance additions - take steps to give them up. Resolve to do what ever it takes, often the greatest challenge is simply committing to yourself to do it, believing it's possible in you mind, and giving it up as part of your identity, or who you think you are.
- Try new things: we are unconscious creatures, reinforcing unproductive brain patterns every day and often subsequently beating ourselves up for the choices we make (emotional additions). STOP IT! Make choices that instill pride, joy, gratitude, - these too can become a habit once you commit.
- Mix up your routine: Take yourself off of Auto Pilot by mixing up your routine, try new foods, working out at differnt times, switching anything that is repatitious.
- Do things that scare you: this is the most exhilerating things, it may feel like fear , realize it is uncertainty and excitment combined - join toast masters, ask someone out, start that book, look for a new career. Some of the things that scare me at moments are also my greatest passions - like public speaking! I still get nervous the first few minutes until I know the crowd is engaged in what I am saying.
- Invite new people into your life: meet new people, start a master mind group, begin dating again, connect with people every where. Sometimes chance meetings develop into our most important moments in life and re-course your direction in career, love, self actualizations: be open to new people!
- Give up your identity: Want more joy? Give up your current identity, it is not who you are. Stop defining yourself by one or two painful experiences - an experience is not who you are. Just because you picked someone who could not be faithful or express love to you, does not mean you need to be painfully single forever! So you smoked for ten years, you can become some one committed to health just as easy through repetition.
- Get new information: Change requires new information and new actions and behaviors. Take a courses, read books, talk to people about what worked for them, anything can be done when you are determined.
- Give up 'Knowing'; we seem to think we know how things will work out or if a course or book will be of value to us - you really don't know until you have tried.
- Listen: Feedback is everywhere, your environment will already be telling you where to make changes, your internal dialogue will be telling you too, be truthful with yourself about what you want and when you are justifing behviors and actions that no longer serve you!
