Look around you – how many people do you think are actually
happy with the way their lives have shaped up? Chances are very few of them.
Most of us are filled with regrets and angst. We wish we did
things differently. If we could go back in time and change our actions or
reactions, we would. But the truth is, what’s gone is gone.
What you have is the present moment and the good news is
that it is never too late to change. After all, we hold the reins of our life
and have the power to change its course.
So, stop complaining and asking, “how do I change for
the better?” because it is time to act. Here are things to start
doing today and become a better version of yourself:
1. Train Your Brain
to Be Optimistic
Everything that life throws at us is not in our control. The
only thing we can control are our thoughts, attitude and reactions. Would you
rather be cynical about the world or adopt a positive mindset and live a more
peaceful life instead?
Being optimistic is not as easy as it sounds. It requires
practice and a lot of mental conditioning but it sure is a step forward towards
a happier you.
So, stop feeding your brain with all the pointless, negative
self-talk and replace them with these positive affirmations instead.
Start a gratitude journal too, it’ll help.
In this imperfect world we live in, the least you can do is
have hope and believe that the best will happen.
