Changing my life seems hard; how do I get started?
It is a powerful truth—an assurance we can rely on—that we can improve our life by taking small steps. We don’t have to do it all at once, just keep making progress. By being intentional, we can change our life with a commitment, a plan, and one step at a time.
How can you change your life by taking small steps?
Make the Commitment to Start
Changing our life begins with the question, “Why?” The first step in improving your life is to identify why you want to change: what are the pains you would like to avoid and the benefits of living life better. Think deeply about your “WHY” and commit to start taking steps.
Create a Simple Plan for Your Life
To be intentional about taking positive steps, we should capture where we want to go in a life plan. It can be a simple set of priorities and actions, and it can change over time. But you need to write it down so you can use it to keep making progress in the right direction.
Keep Taking the Next Right Steps
What are “next right steps?” The word “next” keeps us focused on one step at a time. “Right” reminds us to choose our steps wisely. Then, our life improves as we take those “steps.” If you focus on taking the next right steps one day at a time, your life can get better.
