Top 10 tips for life
continued from page 1
4. Get help
You need the right sort of support to boost your morale and keep it boosted as we all have the tendency to feel deflated too easily. Contrary to popular belief, taking the first step is easy; it's keeping going that's the real challenge. To compensate, you need quality coaching to keep you strong when the inevitable setbacks occur. Sign on with a good Life Coach, or simply enrol three other get-up-and-go people to your 'Success Group'. Try to meet up weekly to spur each other on. Keep the meeting structured so that each person has at least 15 minutes time to talk about their goals and progress. These should be the only people you discuss your goals with. To work, it's important that the group is committed and confidential.
5. Fake it
What characteristics or qualities would you need to develop to have the life you really want? You might need to appear confident and relaxed, outgoing and friendly, focused and determined. Decide who you need to be and then practise. Never mind how strange it may feel at first - faking it is absolutely fine. Soon you and your new persona will be as one.
6. Think positively
You are on a mission. A fully-lived life is at stake here. You cannot allow your mind to wander or be easily influenced. Be vigilant at all times that your thinking is of the highest quality and forbid yourself to think negatively - or if you really have to, allow yourself a few minutes and then get back to positive thought. Remember every problem has a solution and every crisis an opportunity.
7. Remember that confidence is all
Make the decision to show faith in yourself. You are brighter and stronger than you think. Dig deep within for more confidence by throwing yourself bigger and more interesting challenges. Keep on surprising yourself at how clever you are.
