Making changes to your life



Making changes to your life

Written by R. A. Stewart

“If you change nothing, nothing changes.”-Anonymous

To go from where you are to where you need to be requires change. That is:

Change of mindset

Change of behaviour

Change of routine

It is all a matter of stepping out of your comfort zone. This is not always as easy as people think

because of different circumstances. You do not know why people stay in a situation which is not

good for them, but self confidence and insecurity are the two main ones.

The biggest barrier to change is the fear of criticism. This prevents people from stepping out of their

comfort zone and trying new things. People do say things about any changes they see in those closest

to them and not all of it is complimentary.

There can be any number of reasons why someone wants you to remain the same; one of these is

insecurity. You doing something with your life will make others feel uneasy. They want you to stay

as you are because it makes them feel better about their own insecurities.

If someone is dealing with the same issues as you are, but you are doing something about it and they are

not then it is not going to do anything for their own self-esteem.

Losing weight or getting fit are two popular changes people like to make. They are popular new years

resolutions which people like to make. It is important to frame a goal in such a way as to make it more

specific. A goal which is vague and generic is not going to motivate you, but one which says what

needs to be achieved and has a time line for it’s completion will give you more motivation.

Vague Goal Specific Goal

Get fit Complete a 5k fun run by 31 January

Lose Weight Lose 10 Ibs by 31 January

Eat more Healthily Cut out all sugar in my tea/coffee by 31 January

Get a job Apply for at least 10 jobs in the hospitality industry by 31/01

Change makes people feel uncomfortable and it is not just the person who is seeking to do something

different who gets a bit nervous. Close family members will criticize and question the motives of their

rebellious family member. Comments such as “He’s gone all queer” and other derogatory statements

will crop up. 

That girl that is teased about being a little overweight is likely to be mocked and criticized by family

members if she goes on a weight loss diet, especially if some of them do not have a model-like figure

either. 

Why?

Because, the one who is making changes is also making others feel uncomfortable. If he or she can be

just like them it makes them feel better about themselves. This is just showing their insecurity.

No one can live your life for you so just go ahead and live it.

All of the best

Learning to accept yourself is the real key to success

Image
Written by R. A. Stewart Not being accepted by others is one thing, but not accepting yourself is another altogether.  You may not have any control over people who do not accept you but you do have control over whether you choose to accept yourself; in other words, accepting yourself is a choice, it has nothing to do with your circumstances, how you are treated, or the body you have. The weight loss industry and the self help industry are worth billions. People are spending a fortune in the hope of becoming something other than who they really are.  For so many people this is an unrealistic goal.  Wouldn’t it be far better if these people made the most of who they are rather than try to change something which is not within their nature. All animals have their own nature; some like to run such as race horses and greyhounds, some kill other animals, others fly or swim. Try changing the nature of any kind of animal species and see how far you can go.  Some goodie Two s...

Benefits of the Keto diet

Benefits of the Keto diet 1 Promotes better sleep If you suffer from sleeplessness then a keto diet may help but it is also a good idea to not consume caffeine too close to your bedtime and that is not just coffee and tea but chocolate. 2 Promotes weight loss The Keto Diet promotes weight loss. It works by depleting the body of its sugar reserves and forces it to burn fat instead. This promotes weight-loss. 3 Lowers blood sugar levels A benefit of the Keto Diet is that it lowers blood sugar levels. This is obvious since foods with high sugar levels are not part of the keto foods list. 4 Helps heart health Another benefit of the keto diet is that it helps heart health. This occurs when you eat foods with low cholesterol. 5 Helps acne One cause of acne in some people is the high sugar levels in the diet. A keto diet will help to correct this issue. 6 High Energy levels Energy levels are raised with the Keto Diet but that all depends on the individual. It is important to develop the ...

Finding your why

Image
Finding your why A why is what gives us motivation to do something. It is the fuel which energizes us and gives us the enthusiasm to lift us over the obstacles which stand in our way. Having a "Why" gets us out of bed in the morning. It is living your life with a purpose. How do I find my "Why"? Some people find it by a life-changing event such as a tragedy or other event which affects someone in their own family. In the 1970s a solo mother began campaigning for tighter restrictions and safer use of fireworks after an incident where someone was hurt by fireworks. She became known as the fireworks lady. She traveled around the country giving talks in schools for the safe use of fireworks. The laws governing the sale and use of fireworks in New Zealand are regarded as the most stringent in the world. During the early 2000s a university student in New Zealand was murdered by her professor whom she was in a relationship with. The student's name was Sophie Elliot. He...
