Learn How To Change Your Life By Changing Your Daily Habits

By Hieke Huiskes


What do you think about your life? Do you believe that, because of other people or unfavorable circumstances, you're not living the life you'd like to? If you believe that a dream is just a dream and it never will come true, you are wrong. You're just letting your life pass you by without even trying to give it a meaning. Finally, why are you living for? We learn and acquire habits during all our life.
[Books That Change Your Life]


Go through your closets and discard clothing you have not worn in the past year - it might not even fit you now. Consider how many shoes a person really needs. Most people do not really need more than three or four pairs of shoes. Discard that which you do not need and make room for something else - you'll feel better if you do.Change can be good.Similarly, go through your refrigerator. When's the last time you cleaned that out? Do you really need to keep that near empty bottle of Soy sauce considering you haven't eaten Chinese food in more than a year? Toss it out! Make room in your refrigerator; make room in your life. You will feel better afterwards.

Go through your garage as well and consider what to keep and what to get rid of. Just knowing what you have in there will give you a better feeling, but move everything to one side and give the floor a good sweep, yes, even way back in that corner you haven't seen in more than a year. Clean it out, give yourself some open space - it will look better and you will feel better.Do you have items of furniture that you really don't care for now? They looked great last year or five years ago but now, not so great. Is it time to make a change? Does that couch cushion still feel good when you sit on it? Are the arms or legs becoming scuffed and tattered? What about that one chair or small table that just seems to always be in the way? Might it be time to give it the old heave-ho?

For any one goal or dream, there are millions of potential ways in which that goal or dream could come to fruition. Life offers us endless opportunities, paths and decisions to create what we desire. There is no 'one' way. The signals are not showing you the only way, they are simply guiding you forward in a way that will serve you well, should you wish to follow them.Think of signals like the Key on a map. It is certainly very possible to find your way to your destination without referring to the Key on your map, you will likely get there eventually unaided, but with the Key it's so much easier.Very simply put - you can create the life you want, turning your goals and dreams into reality, if you follow the signals.We often spend a lot of time trying to figure out 'how' to achieve what we want in our lives. But here is the trick - our main job is to define WHAT we want, and let the signals show us HOW to achieve it.Our logical minds can sometimes tell us why our goal or dream is not possible. Our minds will find barriers, risks, obstacles to analyse, and will worry and scheme, and wonder and ponder... that is normal.

But the universe is sending you wise and peaceful signals every day in reaction to what you say you want and if you let go of trying to work how to achieve what you desire and instead focus on the joy of what you want and follow the signals,you will be led towards your goals and dreams.signals can point you towards information that can help you by showing you how to overcome hurdles and introducing you to people you need to meet, offering you lessons you need to learn, providing encouragement at times you need it and creating beneficial helpful situations that literally leverage you towards the achievements of your goals and dreams.The type of signals you have received in the past (knowingly or unknowingly), the signals you are receiving right now and the signals you will continue to receive as long as you live, are wide and varied.There is literally no end to the type of signals you can receive. However, to get you started, below are some of the most common types of signals.At times we find ourselves in the most wonderfully synchronistic situations, and the most coincidental circumstances, that seem just too good to be true! It's like the sun, stars and moon aligned in our favour. We think that we have been very lucky, to have been in the right place at the right time, heard the right information or met the right person. We think - If I had been a bit earlier or a bit later, or had decided to go somewhere else, or hadn't attended... I would not have been so lucky.However, it is no coincidence that these things occur. These are big, bold, wonderfully helpful signals.Musical Signals:Songs can often pop into your head at random times, seemingly from nowhere. You didn't hear the song on the radio, you don't love the song and hadn't chosen to hum or sing the song. At times, just 'out of the blue', you realise you are humming or singing a song. Most often, it is really just a few lines of a song.It is not the music that is signalling you, it's the lyrics. Be alert for songs popping into your unexpectedly. Pay attention. Research the song on the internet, find the lyrics, see if the lyrics relate in some way to your current circumstances, to the goal/dream you have set for yourself, to any challenges you may currently be facing.

People Signals:There is a saying that goes - people come into our lives "for a reason, a season or a lifetime".They may be friends, family, acquaintances, work colleagues, clients, business contacts, neighbours, former companions, complete strangers and the list goes on.People can pop up unexpectedly in your day. People you have not seen in a long time may call or show up, trying to reconnect with you. You may be introduced to someone in a way that seems quite unusual or coincidentally very helpful. Strangers may approach you or cross your path.In relation to your goals and dreams, people can act as signals. They are moving of their own accord, in alignment with their own beliefs, thoughts and feelings, but the unseen powerful dimension in our Universe which works in response to energy, is weaving all sorts of people, situations and happenings to guide you.Pay attention - people may suggest something to you, they may make a passing comment to you, they may question you... people are powerful signals and they can literally hand you opportunities on a silver platter that are powerful signals to propel you towards your goals and dreams if you are alert for them.It is worth noting that sometimes we are so fixed on what we want (which is great!), but also become fixed on 'how' we think we will achieve it (not so great!). Remember - our job is to focus on what we want, and let the signals show us 'how'. If we become blinkered to the only way we think it is possible to achieve our goal/dream, we may miss opportunities. People signals are a very good example of this. People that we may consider meaningless in the sense of achieving our goals and dreams, could actually be the very means by which we could achieve these things powerfully. Everyone we meet in life has something to share. What can you learn from them? What do they know? Who do they know? What can they offer you? What can you offer them? Keep an open mind.Animal Signals.Animals are powerful signals. These are known as animal totems.If animal images/symbols, encounters with actual live animals or dreams of animals repetitively show up in your life, in an unplanned and random way, you may be receiving a signal by way of animal totem.Each different animal has a very specific meaning. In relation to your goal or dream, animals can come to guide you on what you need to know, what you may need to remember, pay heed to or consider at that particular time in your life. This information is widely available online and in books and you can easily research the meaning of animal if you think you are receiving an animal totem signal.

In most cases, this process takes place without us being aware of.Now the question is: can we make consciously changes in our daily habits? How can we deliberately change our habits and overcome their resistance? Changes in our daily habits are not only possible, but also advisable to be done when we decide to make bigger changes in our lives.We firstly need to evaluate all the actions we are doing during the day, think about and decide which ones are good to be kept or even extended and which need to be replaced with better ones.

And when we awake we are not rested. We may have been thinking and dreaming about problems at work or in our personal lives, some may suffer sleep apnea, while outside sources such as loud parties next door or noisy neighbors or the couple in the next apartment who screamed at each other all night may have interrupted our sleep several times through the night.A body that is not rested means a mind that is not rested. It makes for a very difficult day, so do your best to get enough sleep.Set a certain time to go to bed and stick to it. Your body needs a 'pattern'; it needs to do certain things at the very same time each day.If you make time for 'you' and get to sleep at the same time each night, exercise every day and do what you can to eliminate external influences in our life so you can get quality sleep, you will awake rested and ready to go.You will feel much better and your life will go much better in return.

Make a plan.Skyscrapers are never built unless a plan has been prepared first. Your life is no different. A plan will help you set goals and goals are important. If you don't know where you are going you could end up going where you never wanted to go, so make a plan.There are short-term plans as well as long-term plans and you should make both.Begin with a short-term plan. What do you want to do tomorrow? Where do you want to go and how will you get there? What do you want to accomplish while you are there and why? Making such a plan will give you cause to think about things you have not considered? What do you want to do next week? Make a plan for the entire week, not just one day of the week.What about next month? What do you want to accomplish next month? Having a better idea will help you make the time to do that and you will begin to make better use of your time.Work your way up to a one-year plan. Where do you want to be one year from today? Why do you want to be there? How will you get there?The answer is one day at a time.
