Knowing that you are not living the way you would like to live can be a sense of deadlock and frustration with yourself. While changing yourself is not easy, the work is well worth the effort. You can change if you think over a plan and follow it. If you are ready for significant changes, first determine how you would like to see your life and what you need to change. Then start the change process with a couple of small steps and set new goals for yourself to help you become better. Monitor your actions and stay motivated to make it easier to follow your plan.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: How to evaluate your life

1 Understand how you envision your ideal life. If you want to change completely, you may feel that your life is not developing the way you would like it to. To become the best version of yourself, it is important to understand how you want your life to be. Think about your ideal job or school, how you want to spend your days, and how you want other people to appear.
- For example, you may decide that you want to be a teacher in order to work with children. In your free time, you want to help others, do something with your own hands, and communicate with your family. Let's say you want people to perceive you as a good-natured and hardworking person.
2 Make a list habits and actionsthat bother you. You will need to replace bad habits with good ones if you want major changes. Determine what habits prevent you from having the life you want. Think about what actions are causing you problems. Make a list of these habits and activities to work on later.
- Suppose you find out that your weekend eating habits are preventing you from raising money for hobbies and eating healthily.
- Or you may find that you are holding your phone in your hands and this takes up all your free time.
3 Determine what triggers the behavior you want to change. Getting rid of a bad habit isn't easy, but knowing what triggers the habit will make it easier to fight it. If you feel that you want to do something harmful, write down what happened to you before.Something could be a provoking factor, and if you avoid repeating this situation, it will be easier for you to change something.
- Let's say you're trying to give up junk food. The next time you feel like eating a bag of crisps, think about what happened before you got the urge. You may find that you crave junk food when you're nervous. Dealing with stress can help you avoid junk food cravings.

Method 2 of 4: How to Make Big Change

1 Invest in yourself to help yourself understand your worth. You deserve to feel good, so spend the money on yourself. Change your hairstyle, buy new clothes to make it easier for you to get started. If you use makeup, learn to do your makeup in a new way.
- If you have the opportunity, get a new haircut at the salon and buy a couple of new clothes.
- If you're short on money, go to a used clothing store or buy a few items at a sale. You can also invite friends or girlfriends to exchange clothes that you don't need.
2 Change your surroundings to tune in to a new one. Changes in your environment can help you change your mindset and see new opportunities in front of you. First, get rid of rubbish and debris at home and at work. Then rearrange furniture and other items to give the rooms a new look. If possible, buy something new to remind you that you are trying to change your life.
- Even small changes can make a big difference, so don't worry if you can't redo the entire space. Perhaps a small potted plant or a motivational poster will be enough to make you feel new.
- If you can, change everything around you to make your life seem new to you. Replace the paintings on the walls, buy new linens and towels, replace old or faulty furniture.
Advice: decorate the space around you so that it begins to correspond to your ideal life. For example, if you want to study or write more, place your desk in the most prominent place in the room. If you want to start cooking every day, move pots and pans to a prominent location.
3 Talk to yourself in a positive way to motivate yourself. Your attitude towards yourself can either help you or ruin all your endeavors, so it is important to learn to treat yourself positively. Monitor your thoughts to spot negative trends in time. If you find yourself thinking negative thoughts, challenge those thoughts and replace them with something neutral or positive. Create positive affirmations for yourself that you can repeat throughout the day.
- Let's say you thought you were failing. Tell yourself, "This can't be true because I sing, paint and bake pies well." Then replace the original thought with the following: "I can do a lot, but it is impossible to know everything."
- You can use the following positive affirmations to motivate yourself: “I'm great,” “I can achieve anything with hard work,” “I'm becoming the best version of myself.”
4 Try something new to push yourself out of your comfort zone. If you intend to change something, you must learn to step out of your comfort zone in order to grow. Your best bet is to start trying new things. Make a list of the things you've always wanted to try and start crossing out the items from it.
- The list may include items such as “go to a Thai restaurant,” “skydive,” “sign up for painting classes,” “apply for an internship,” “do volunteer work,” “talk to a stranger in a store,” “change hairstyle "," going to work a new way. "

Method 3 of 4: How to Be the Best Version of You

1 Set realistic, measurable goals. Reread the description of your ideal life that you wrote earlier and highlight 1-3 goals that will help you get what you want. Make sure your goals are small and easily measurable. Set specific goals to make it easier for you to track your progress.
- For example, the goal to “move more” is poorly formulated because it is neither concrete nor measurable. Better to formulate the goal like this: "exercise for 30 minutes every day."
2 Develop new habits to help you achieve your goals. Make a list of good habits that will help you get what you want. Then think about how you can make them a part of your life. Set aside time for new habits to begin your journey towards your goals.
- Let's say you have a goal to achieve a healthy weight. Your new habits can be exercising every day and eating right. To make it easier for you to do what you want to do, take the time to exercise and prepare healthy meals.
3 Spend less time on unimportant activities so you have time for the really important activities. Each person has a limited amount of time, so after the appearance of new goals, you may get the feeling that you simply cannot do everything. To find time to work on new goals, it is important to identify which activities are not making your life better. Replace these activities with more important activities and new habits.
- Let's say you usually play games on your smartphone during your lunch break. Use this time for sports.
4 Surround yourself with growth-oriented people who will motivate you. The environment can have a significant impact on a person's motivation and behavior. Spend more time with people who are trying to be successful and doing what makes them happier. This communication will help you motivate yourself to make significant changes in your life.
- Attend events for people who share your goals or interests. There you will probably be able to find new friends.
- Don't worry about having to exclude people from your life. As you spend more time with people who are focused on growth, you will naturally begin to avoid the company of acquaintances who might have a bad influence on you.
5 Keep track of what you've accomplished on your way to new goals and habits every day. Write down all the efforts you make towards your goal, and celebrate any achievement, no matter how small. Think about the process, not the future outcome. This will keep you motivated and not give up halfway.
- Each day, write down what you did today to achieve your goal.
- When you have achieved any small result, celebrate it and congratulate yourself on the progress towards the goal.

Method 4 of 4: How to stay on track

1 Find yourself a partner with whom you can go to your goals together. It will be easier to stay motivated if there is a person nearby with the same tasks as yours. Ask someone with the same goals or someone you trust to become your partner. Talk to your partner about your progress at least once a week so that you don't forget why you are doing all this.
- If your goal allows it, you can invite your partner to do something related to achieving the goal with you.
Advice: if you have multiple goals, consider reaching out to multiple people to maintain accountability. For example, ask a friend to play sports with you, a roommate to keep track of what you spend your free time on, and a colleague to monitor your progress at work.
2 Eliminate distractions that keep you from spending all your time on important activities. The TV and phone can be very distracting, so don't let them get in your way.If something keeps you from sticking to new habits, eliminate or limit that distraction from your life. This will allow you to go towards your goals.
- For example, install an application that would restrict the use of social networks on your computer and phone.
- You can turn off the TV to avoid the temptation to watch it.
3 Check your progress once a week. Analysis of what has been done will allow you to understand what you are doing right and what is not. This will give you the opportunity to adjust your behavior and get things done. Set aside time each week to review what you've done this week and think about new steps for the next week.
- For example, you can record how much time you spent working on your goals and what activities were useless. Then, decide how you can best manage your time in the future.
4 Reward yourself for positive change. Treat yourself to something to celebrate success. It could be a special sticker, a favorite food, or a little item you've wanted to buy for a long time. Reward yourself regularly to keep yourself motivated towards your big goal.
- As a reward for small changes, you can put a sticker on your calendar every time you do something about your new good habits or work towards your goals.
- For more significant achievements, buy yourself something pleasant - for example, your favorite coffee or an unusual bath bomb.
- When you reach an important point or goal, reward yourself with a new pair of shoes or a visit to the spa.
5 Think about the process, not the result. It takes time to completely change yourself, but you will begin to notice small changes as you work towards your goals. It's important to celebrate these changes because they help you live the life you want to live. Don't worry about how long it will take you to reach your goal. Enjoy what is happening day in and day out.
- Don't ask too much of yourself, otherwise you will feel stressed and overwhelmed. Take your time and try to enjoy the process.
6 Take days off to stay motivated. If you want to make a difference in your life, you may feel like you owe it to you to make good use of every minute. This can make it feel like you cannot slow down or rest. However, the body and mind need rest in order to work as efficiently as possible. Plan your rest days so you can recover and stick to your plan.
- For example, you might set aside one day a week for relaxation and fun.
- You can stay at home all day once a month and do nothing.

Tips
