17 Ways to Make Your Life Better Immediately

Are you stuck ? Do you need a quick win or a breath of fresh air in your life? It helps to create momentum. Implement a few of these helpful hints to shake off the cobwebs and jump start your week. It is possible to make your life better with just a few easy choices!

• Listen to the Happy Song. I dare you to not to smile, twirl in circles or clap your hands. Seriously one of the best songs to propel your mood from zero to 100 in 60 seconds or less. Use it as an alarm for an amazing start to your day.
• Clean out your friends list on social media. If someone is stressing you out, cluttering up your soul or zapping your energy, remember you have control over your digital world. Un-friend, or at the very least un-follow them. Do it.
• Forgive someone you have been harboring bitterness or a grudge towards. If possible make amends, if not let it go. Likely they are not staying awake thinking about the situation, and neither should you.
• Perform a random act of kindness. Dedicate your time and resources to something bigger than yourself. There is nothing more beautiful than unselfishness and the world needs more of it.

• Dance like no one is watching. Sing at the top of your lungs. Remember singing into your curling iron or hairbrush as a kid? You know you did. Be free. Close your eyes and turn up the music.

• Stop doing what someone else thinks you should. Dedicate your energy towards changing only to that which has meaning to you. Change for someone else is generally short-lived. Change done for yourself is much more likely to stick.
• If you have a job you dislike, find a way out. Write a resume, network, start applying. Think outside the box. Consider life in 10 years doing what you did yesterday. Can you see yourself loving it then? If not, begin the process to transition to something you can look forward to doing again.
• Stop answering calls, texts and emails you don’t want to. You may find it a little tough at first, but trust me, it gets easier and is incredibly freeing when you do. It is impossible to be all things to all people and you can stop trying with this one simple step.
•  Take a stand against junk mail and annoying telemarketers. Access the Do Not Call and Do Not Solicit data base. You will save trees and your sanity.
•  Evaluate your relationships. If you have someone in your close circle of friends who is going nowhere, put some distance between you and them. You don’t have to cut them off entirely, only make sure your valuable time is not spent on a relationship which continually draws life from your well without giving anything in return.
•  Create a bucket list and daydream about doing one of them. Even dreaming creates space in your soul for possibilities.
•  Make your bed when you first get up for a sure-fire, immediate win. If your surroundings are a mess it rubs off on you.

•  Watch a favorite childhood movie or TV show. Netflix makes this easy.
• Give a genuine and heartfelt compliment to another human being. Tell someone your real and sincere, deep to your toes opinion of them. Funeral words are when people speak wonderful words about those who have passed on. Consider what words you would speak at their wake and tell them today. Later is … well, too late.
• Find a body of water, bring a chair and sit by it. Savor the beauty and simplicity around you.
•  Focus on the present instead of looking backwards. The past is history and future has yet to become. Breathe in your right now and be thankful you are alive.
• Give radical love to those closest to you. We tend to treat the ones we love the most with less respect than complete strangers. Be intentional and speak life, love and affirmation to your parents, significant other, spouse, children, friends, and siblings. Do what you can as often as you can to tell them how important they are to you.

I would love to hear what pieces and parts from this list resonated with you and how you put it into practice.

Blessings my friends- keep changing the world!
