The Secret To Making Life Changing Choices!

| Posted in Setting and Achieving Goals |

If you want to see change in your life, you need to make life changing choices.

Making those choices is hard by itself, but AFTER you make those choices it becomes harder.

Life changing choices means making some pretty significant changes to your life style in most cases.

This is where it gets hard.

So, what do you do to make things a bit easier?

Simple – remove everything in your life that effects the choices your making in a negative way.

Here’s an example…

Let’s say you’re making the life changing choice to quit smoking.

Making the choice is hard (believe me, I know), but after you finally make that choice it gets harder because your cravings increase and your brain starts to play tricks on your a bit, and everything you see that has to do with smoking makes you want to smoke even more.

So, in this case you would…

  • Throw away all of your cigarettes (not there, not tempting)
  • Throw away all of your ash trays
  • Make people smoke outside instead of in your house
  • Choose the no smoking sections in restaurants
  • Try and remove as much stress from your life as possible (which you should be doing anyway)
  • Keep gum or toothpicks close by all of the time to remove the craving to have something in your mouth (cig to lips)

Those are just some examples of course.

But the main thing is to remove any and all things from your life that could make it even harder to stick with those life changing choices you’ve made.

Here’s another example…

If you’re making the choice to work ten times harder and get more done each day, you could…

  • Turn off your telephone to remove distracting phone calls
  • Don’t open your email until the end of the day
  • Work in a more relaxed place
  • Find someone to help with the smaller, less important things.

And so on.

Just making the choice to change something in your life isn’t good enough in most cases.

You need to make other changes for things to stay in place and keep moving forward.
