Be Your Best Self: My 5 step process

How do we change and be our best self?!!  It is HARD to make changes that we know we need to make to help us progress and be happier and healthier!!  Human nature tells us we can be lazy, it doesn't matter, who cares and what difference does it make!?!  We are human and fight against all these feelings.  What if we make a small change and we recognize it though.  What if we decide to develop a talent and it becomes something we love to do and we start sharing it with others.  We've made a change that makes us happy and helps others to be happy!  That change was EASY!  That is a change that we loved doing.. it wasn't hard.  How do we make the hard changes needed to really improve and grow?  How do we make it fun and simple?

5 Steps to making changes to Be Your Best Self:
1) Be dissatisfied with where you are.
You have to be uncomfortable about what it is you want to change.  It could be your attitude, your habits, your health, your job.  Whatever it is that is so dis-satisfactory to you in your life that you are uncomfortable about it and it eats at you most of the time, then it's time to change that thing!  Being dissatisfied is the first step to change!
2) Identify your goals.
What do you want to do?  What do you want to be?  What do you want to have?  Identification is the next step to changing.  Identify what it is you WANT.  No filters.  What do you truly want to be, do and have in life?  Write it down, visualize it, make a dream board or bucket list.
3) Set the big goal..
see the end result, or at least the journey and process of becoming what and who you want to be.  First of all, we all have value and are worth more than rubies as it says in the scriptures.  God loves us for who we are and as long as we are following His plan and keeping His commandments, we are great!  But changing and improving are the things life is about.  Deciding what we want and who we can become to help others is part of this life's journey.  What could we accomplish if we try and do make the changes towards becoming better, becoming more!?  See the big picture, where do you want to be in 1, 3, 5 years from now? What will your life look like?
4) Set smaller, attainable goals that will push you towards the results you want.
There never really is an END to a goal and journey in life.  We can ALWAYS improve and learn and be and do more.  but the journey to becoming more is taken in small steps, small processes.  Set up those processes to become and get to where you want to be.  Break it down to daily tasks and routines that will propel you towards your goals.
5) Read and fill your mind with positive thoughts and articles and words and music.
You can fill your mind with all the positive energy it needs to believe that you will achieve.  Push away doubts, fears, nay sayers and depressing thoughts.  Fill your mind with good, positive and happy thoughts through your day.
