Self Improvement Steps That Work

-

Self improvement steps that work are those that fit your purpose in life. You've got to know what matters to you. You've got to consider exactly what it is that you care about most. Let's look at how to come up with self improvement steps that work based on your purpose in life.

How do you choose small steps that fit your purpose in life?

You start by spending time with yourself each time you set a goal.

You consider what the direction of your life needs to be for you to feel you are fulfilling your own purpose. Sometimes, this happens instantly because you're considering a goal that fits closely with how you've been living your life.

Other times, it will take time to figure out what's happening now and whether a new goal fits.

When you know your purpose, you can look at your life from a perspective of how things fit together. You can get to the point where you'll know right away that a goal fits -- or doesn't!



How can self improvement steps relate to what matters to you?

Knowing what matters to you enables you to pick appropriate goals.

Some goals simply don't fit your life. Knowing what matters helps you to reject goals that don't fit, in favor of those that do fit.

When achieving a goal connects well with what matters to you now, then you're able to look at specific steps to find steps that work.

When you don't feel a fit with what matters to you, search for another goal. Don't settle and try for a goal that's a mismatch for your life.

Self improvement steps that work will have things in common with what you care about.

What you care about must fit your goal.

When that happens, you'll inspire yourself! You'll do the steps you need to do.

Small steps toward a goal work well when they fit in with your purpose in life. You're more likely to follow through on your chosen small steps when you recognize how they relate to what matters to you.

Your daily actions are more easily taken when they're for things you care about. That's what gets repeated.

And what gets repeated causes results. Self improvement steps that work are those small steps you'll really do over a long enough period of time to contribute to your purpose in life getting achieved.

Are You Stuck? Consider Changing Your Focus!

If you sometimes feel as though you’re caught in life’s quicksand, you have a lot of company. We work, we struggle, we try to do everything we possibly can to move on to a higher level of well-being but it seems like the harder we work, the more stuck we get. If you’re approaching a Category 5 frustration level, you might give this a try… Switch your focus from that really nice – but frustrated – person in the mirror to one or more of the other folks who inhabit this good earth. I realize that it’s important to watch out for number one – ourselves. We need to set goals, lay out plans and then do those things we need to do so that we can at least make some progress toward our goals. We need to demonstrate personal financial responsibility, plan for retirement and frequently just cover our backside so it doesn’t get chewed off by one or more of life’s rodents. However, what frequently happens is that we become so over-focused on ourselves and our own personal well-being that we wind ...

3 Tips for Managing Your Life

Good news: from getting organized to maximizing your time, there are some easy ways to stay focused and achieve your goals. What Areas Need the Most Work? Watching a reality TV show may be more entertaining than cleaning the bathroom or folding the laundry, but it won't keep your home from becoming a biohazard. Establishing and sticking to priorities will help you spend less time worrying about what needs to be done and more time accomplishing your goals. Consider using Sunday evenings, when you normally mourn the end of the weekend, to go over weekly goals and priorities. This is a great way to stay focused on what you want to accomplish without getting ahead of yourself. Cut Out the Junk If you're like most people, you keep possessions well beyond their usefulness. When your white clothes start turning yellow, or you find boxes and boxes that you can’t even remember what is inside, then it’s time to get rid of some items. Consider selling old appliances, c...

Do What You Love To Do

What do you want to be when you grow up? I’m sure you were asked this question at least once when you were young. When asked the question, did you have an answer ready, or did you need a few minutes to think about it? We all had dreams of becoming something great, like a lawyer, a teacher, or a movie star, just to name a few. Well, how did you do? Maybe you never aspired to be what you set out to be or said that you would become. But then again, things change. The older we get, our tastes change, our view of the world changes, even our ambitions change. One of the most important lessons I’ve learned during my career path is to do something you love to do. Why is this important? I feel that if you enjoy what you make a living at, you end up being happy in more ways than one. Life itself becomes much more interesting and fun. You find yourself speaking passionately to others about your work. The experiences you have along the way become much more rewarding and enrich your life in many wa...
