How To Start Living My Best Life – Life Tips!
Are you familiar with the phrase – ‘living my best life‘? Do you live your best life? Life is a funny thing sometimes – it seems that no matter how good we have it, we’re always in envy of someone else and thinking they have it better, when the truth is – life is something that we can create for ourselves in many ways, so if there’s something you feel is missing that you really want, then maybe it’s about time you were honest with yourself about the fact that you don’t actually want the life everyone has said you should have.
You have to make a decision about what it is that you actually want.
There’s nothing wrong with that life, but you know it’s not for you, and until now you’ve been holding yourself back from truly going after what you want, because of what other people will think about your choices. You need to ask yourself – what can I do when it comes to living my best life? What are my choices? How can I change that?
Here’s how to change that:
DECIDE
You have to make a decision about what it is that you actually want. You have to be honest with yourself about this, even if it makes you feel like it’s impossible to achieve or that other people will judge you for it. For example, do you want a new relationship, do you really want that job you’ve seen listed at your favorite Education Advertising Agency, or maybe you’re really wishing you could just let go of everything and travel for a year?
It doesn’t matter how big or small your goal is, the first step in getting there is allowing yourself to decide that you want it.
Everything you do starts with a decision that you will get this or create this for yourself.
VISUALIZE IT
If you already know what you want, and even if you don’t, this exercise will still be helpful for you, so take some time on this and start imagining what your ideal life will look like today.
Start by taking a piece of paper or file on your computer where you can write down 3 columns: one column should be titled BE, the other DO, and other HAVE.
Basically these will list all the things you want to do, be, and have in your life, and will help you start getting more clear on who you really want to become in your life and how to make your dreams a reality right now.
Then once you’ve done that, you can start just taking a little bit of time each day to really sit with it and visualize your ideal life and how that would actually feel to be living in that life and be that person you really want to become.
Just be aware, that the first few times you do this exercise – especially if your current life seems so far away from the life you want, that it may cause you to feel a little emotional. That’s okay – it just means that you really want it, but don’t let this feeling put you off from doing this exercise again, because it’s important to keep doing it as often as you can.
PLAN
The next step in creating the life you want, is actually making a plan to bring it to life, after you’ve decided what you it is you want. You should set yourself a deadline for this, so that you can actually start making plans around it.
For example, if you know that for your ideal life to become a reality, that you have to be living in a new house, then you’re going to set a date on the calendar based on how long you think you’ll need, and then work out a plan of the actions you’ll need to take daily in order to make it happen by working backwards from there.
TAKE ACTION
The biggest thing is taking aligned action towards anything you want – you can set goals and plan all you want, but unless you actually take real actions daily, then not much is likely to actually come to life, so this step is really crucial in getting what you want.
Living my best life should not be a cliche but a way of life or lifestyle that comes easy to you. Much success.

You can put your thoughts on paper but learning how to create your own blog is something different. If you have the right training it is not that difficult.
When you learn how to create your own blog you get to choose the things that you write about. You can also use the blog to make extra income. Here is where I learned how to create my own blog and connect with people who helped me along the way.

You’re so right. We often wish we had a different life, but fail to do anything about it.
These steps will certainly get you pointed in the right direction, and also motivate you to take action.
I think everyone should read this, LOL.
