10 Things You Can Do Today To Take Control of Your Life

It’s time to Take Control of Your Life!!  There will always be people trying to steal your joy and break your confidence.  Stand tall, know you have the knowledge and fortitude to move forward and do not let your current circumstances dictate your future.  Know you have everything within you to accomplish your vision and turn your dreams into reality. 

Now let’s look at those 10 things you can do today to begin removing issues and/or obstacles obstructing your path, so you can live a happy, abundant life.

1.  STOP Talking and START Living

How many years have you told yourself, I am going to open my own business, take those music lessons, teach math at a university or run a marathon?  What is preventing you from pursuing your dreams?  You know the vision is real.  Quit procrastinating and make an action plan to complete your journey.

2.  No More Excuses

No more excuses!  It’s time to stop talking about it and put action behind those words.  Begin by taking baby steps.  Sometimes we look at the entire project, it overwhelms us, and we give up before we ever got started.  Break the tasks down into easy manageable steps and progress slowly.  As you begin completing each action step you will feel a sense of accomplishment and your confidence will grow.

4.  Do Something That Scares You

5.  Reduce Alcohol and Caffeine Consumption

We all know alcohol is used for socializing and caffeine is used to keep us awake and alert.  However, there are individuals who do consume an excessive amount and it can lead to health issues.  

If you are a frequent drinker of alcohol or caffeine, you can experience brain fog.  In order to take back your life and regain some mental clarity, reflect on your consumption and begin by cutting back or moderate your intake.

6.  Take a Break From Social Media and Gadgets

Life can be filled with distractions and obstacles.  With the increase of technical gadgets, games, social media sites, etc… Each one of these interruptions conspire to draw our attention away from what we need to concentrate on.

In fact, our daily social media frenzy routine  is causing us to miss out, without even realizing it.  Our focus is shifted, we start to procrastinate, even though we know the task is important to us. 

Even though social media is a great tool to stay connected with family and friends, don’t make it a full-time job. It’s about taking back your life, relaxing, and having gratitude. 

7.  Keep Your Home and Workspace Organized

Removing the physical clutter around your home and workspace will help you stay focused and bring clarity to your surroundings.    When your space is cluttered your mind becomes cluttered.  

This clutter overwhelms your mind from the extra stimuli and forces the brain to keep focused on the mess around you.  It also signals the brain… that there is always something else needing your attention.  When you begin to de-clutter your space, the mind will follow and you will feel a sense of relief!

8.  Make a Daily “To Do” List 

The most powerful thing you can do to take back your life and manage your time is to create a “To Do” list. You should create this list every day and let it serve as a blueprint for the day.  I truly would be lost without my list. It keeps me on track knowing what I need to accomplish throughout the day. 

A typical “To Do” planner is all you need to stay organized.  Before you begin your day, jot down your tasks, prioritize each item and if you don’t get everything completed that day  – it’s OKAY!!   Turn the page and write it down on tomorrow’s To Do list!  It will all get done in due time.

9.  Exercise To Increase Your Energy Level

Regular exercise is an important part of maintaining a healthy mind and body. It can make you feel energized and motivated helping to boost your confidence and mental strength.  An exercise program doesn’t need to be super complicated to provide meaningful benefits. Even a 30 minute walk, three times a week can significantly help combat depression and improve one’s self-worth.

Do you know research has shown exercise:

  • Elevates our mood
  • Increases our self-esteem
  • Releases those happy hormones
  • Makes us feel good about our physical self
  • Leaves you feeling energized and empowered
  • Provides you with a sense of accomplishment

So, let’s get a simple exercise routine started today!!

10.  Learn To Say “NO”

Learning to say “NO” to things or people who don’t resonate with you can be very empowering.   Taking command of your life means getting honest with yourself about who you hang out with and what activities you participate in.  Engage in those activities and friends who serve your best interests and elevate you as a person.

Remember, you do not have to justify to anyone why you are saying “NO”.  You can respond graciously, “Thank you for asking, maybe next time” or “Let me look at my schedule and I will get back to you”.  Once you start using this technique, it gets easier each time.

You cannot expect to reach your peak unless you are willing to put the time and effort into completing any task.  Taking back your life is important not only emotionally but physically.  Remember to visualize your plan and to think positive thoughts… but if there is no action behind your plan, it will always remain a possibility.  I believe in YOU, but I want YOU to believe in yourself!!

How To Make Self-Care a Priority and Discover Your Greatest Treasure

The prescription for Self-Care is about appreciating oneself and it only grows from the actions which support our physical, emotional, mental and and spiritual growth.  Self-care is dynamic and it forms the most important foundation for relationships and the true connection you have with YOURSELF.

To love yourself is not only a confidence and self-esteem booster, it is a perquisite in order to take care and love others.  You must be willing to meet your needs, be non-judgmental, knowing you are worthy, amazing and deserve Inner Peace and Happiness.

What is Self-Care and Why Is It Important?

Research has shown when you practice self-care; you are happy with your life, you have resilience and higher levels of compassion. 

Below are a few things you can learn to care for YOU!.  Understand learning to love yourself takes patience and perseverance.  Raising the self-care barometer may take some time, however, I want you to stay committed, be kind and support yourself during the difficult times.

1. Eliminate Self Criticism. Do not berate yourself for making a mistake and  try and eliminate the negative chatter inside your head.   It’s imperative to see yourself as having the power to “Overturn” your obstacles and be in control of your situation.  It requires you to change your belief systems, attitude and to look at your mistakes as learning opportunities. You cannot change your past  but your entire future is in your control.

2. Acknowledge Your Effort. It is not always about winning or coming in first place.  It’s about the action and effort you take each day to accomplish your tasks.  Acknowledge that you have done your best, you are amazing and the choices you made were based upon specific circumstances.  Each day your slate is wiped clean and tomorrow is another day to make it right.

3. Trust Yourself. Have confidence in your skills and abilities. Don’t allow outside opinions affect how you see yourself and Don’t allow others to steal your joy.  Keep laser focused on your goals and allow yourself to be your biggest cheerleader.   You are more than capable to achieve your heart’s desire.

How To Make Self Care a Priority

World renowned coach, Dr. Joe Rubino, created a Confidence Course which he personally teaches in his own personal practice. This course will show you how to increase your personal power, decrease the stress in your life, practice self-care so you can live a happy, abundant life.  

When you have self-care it can improve your problem solving capabilities, decrease procrastination, increase in self-esteem helping you to reduce stress and anxiety.  Now how good is that!

Loving yourself is a win-win situation.  It provides inner happiness, boosts your confidence, self-esteem and provides peace of mind.   Self-love enables you to make healthier choices and sound decisions across all areas of your life and it lends itself to rejoice in other people’s good fortune rather than wondering “why, not me”.  Ultimately, the more you love yourself, the more you will embrace yourself and the world around you.

You see to love yourself is not only a confidence and self-esteem booster, it is a perquisite in order to take care and love others.  You must be willing to meet your needs, be non-judgmental, knowing you are worthy, amazing and deserve happiness.

I am so happy you stopped by to create a Healthier New You! My goal was to provide you with some motivation and inspiration to ignite your light and reach for the stars.

6 Things You Can Do Everyday To Improve Your Confidence

Be Fearless

Confidence is something you have to create each day. It’s the power within you that unleashes every time you accomplish your goal. With each target you reach, your confidence improves enhancing your performance.

However, fear can play a major role in your confidence paralyzing you and preventing you from fulfilling your dreams. You need to look fear in the eye and decide if it is going to keep you stuck in a rut or motivate you to move forward.

Your choice will determine the outcome.  Fear can keep you complacent and hold you captive or it can make you bold and assertive. Observe a mother when her child or loved one is in danger. All of a sudden, she has supernatural courage and strength and will do anything to rescue them.

5 easy steps to build your confidence

Life is full of lessons and if you want to be promoted to the next level, you have to pass the test.  Who said life was easy?   Life is full of challenges and can test us in ways we never could have imagined.  The power lies in passing these tests and seeing the rainbow on the other side.  Are you willing to put in the work to see your pot of gold?

To be successful, redefine what it means to be a failure.  If something did not work out the way you planned it’s the universe telling you to reevaluate your circumstances, use the information you have gained, adjust your plan and try a new approach.

As I used to tell my first graders, get up and dust yourself off, you’re going to be okay.  Do a course correction and start heading in a new direction.

If you need additional assistance committing to your success then may I suggest The 3 C’s. This is a 10 Day Energizing Challenge to boost your energy, build your Confidence, stay Committed and gain Clarity.

Building Your Confidence

Below are 6 Steps you can use the next time you feel overwhelmed by obstacles and need to build your confidence:

  1. Clear Your Mind – Relax, Breathe or Meditate. Don’t think about success or failure just be in the moment
  2. Define Your Goal – Have a clear defined goal.  You may have to deviate or alter your goals to remove the roadblocks.
  3. Focus on Your Target – Roadblocks will always occur when you moving down the road to success but keep your eye focused on the prize.
  4. Have Strength and Perseverance  –  Draw strength from your inner power.  It’s always been there and these are the times to lay claim to it.
  5. Follow Through – Don’t stop or slow down until you have achieved your goal.  Believe in yourself and visualize yourself at your destination.
  6. Commit To Success – Be positive, energetic and shine your light.  Show absolute determination and you will see your dreams become your reality.

Success is a total commitment until you achieve your goal. Such absolute determination will move mountains. It requires hard work, mental concentration and overcoming your personal weakness. It demands hard work mentally and physically.

Achieving your dream will always create stress, fear and doubt but the experience is precisely what is necessary for your breakthrough to occur.  It’s always fulfilling when the journey is easy and everything seems to be coming up roses, however, your character is defined when you are going through the storm.

A breakthrough occurs when you face your fears head on and walk through it. You cannot place it on the sideline or wish it away. 

By making an empowering decision under duress, it gives you the confidence to overcome obstacles and break through barriers the next time they obstruct your path.   It’s always the most rewarding when you go through the difficult moments and you are on the other side.
