“New Beginning”
When you read or hear that phrase, what comes to your mind?
I was opportune to hear some of my friends interpretation of the phrase.
Comfort’ Said to her, a new beginning is simply the starting of a new chapter, a change of phase, beginning of something new, something better.
Dare’ Said a new beginning to him is the opportunity to redo or restart something, it might be a decision or an action.
Favour’ said to her a new beginning means Starting all over, Scraping or scratching everything and then just starting all over again.
Daniel’ said speaking from my personal experience and from my emotions( I don’t know why he thought he needed to announce that anyways) a new beginning is doing something you were doing in a better dimension. I.e. if it were your life, a new beginning Is then simply changing your life style.
Now, what does the phrase “A NEW BEGINNING” means to you?
I want you to note that the key word here is CHANGE
It doesn't matter how you define or explain it, change must be the main ingredients.
Change is a tricky thing, you can’t predict it, sometimes it comes easily, as easy as the blinking of your eyes, and most of these changes are unwanted they, these changes may directly or indirectly affect your life.
Even though you can not predict change, you can cause it. And most of the time you have to give it all that you’ve got to make it happen you literally have to sweat blood for it to manifest(well maybe that was too exaggerated, but you get what I mean) because it tasks you physically, mentally, emotional and even health wise, It literally takes your all, for it to manifest.
That’s why you see someone struggling with poverty trying to stop his/her lavish lifestyle, another struggling with addiction as a result of the way they’ve conditioned their mind and body to an element. And as such these changes becomes very difficult to make. At some point they seem to be unachievable.
If you are one those people who needs to correct mistakes from your past, or you’ve realize you need to change some of your habits, or maybe your career or whatever you need to change to make your life better. Then this post is for you.
Here are 5 tips that would help you make that change you need to make in your life.
1. BE INTENTIONAL: This is number 1 for a reason because if you skip this you might probably end up not making the change you need to make in your life. You need to be intentional about it, be intentional about your actions, everything you do, every step you take, you need to be intentional about it. Do not leave anything to chance or yours emotions, they will stare you wrong.
HOW THEN CAN YOU BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT YOUR CHANGE?.
Very easy, you need to SET GOALS, you need to Challenges yourself. They say “a journey of a thousand steps begins with the first step”, but the truth is if you don’t even see the path how will you know the direction to take the first step that will begin your journey. The reason for setting goals is to help you visualize and plan your journey, and once you are able to visualize it, and then you have a plan, your journey seems attainable.
2. BE DETERMINED: determination simply means firmness to a purpose, to have great resolve. For you to manifest that change in your life, you need to be determined, because you will be tested, your mind, your body, even your feelings they will test you, sometimes you won’t feel like it, other times, your body will be too weak or frustration might just kick in, if you are not determined, your change will not manifest.
3. NURTURE YOUR MIND:
“What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds.”
-- Wayne Dyer
The mind is the most powerful tool every human possess it can cause you success and it can as well make you fail, that is why you need to nurture your mind. The truth about the mind is that it is like a fertile ground, and it only grows what you plant in it, in other words, you only reap what you sow in your mind, check what you sow in your mind.
If you want success you plant success, if you want to be confidence let it happen in your mind first, once you can plant it In your mind it is sure to manifest.
HOW THEN DO YOU NURTURE YOUR MIND?
You do this by feeding your mind with positive thoughts, good thoughts. Because the thoughts you feed your Mind could become your reality.
3. GET HELP: you can’t achieve most things in life all by yourself, you will need some measure of help from someone. Stop the lone ranger mentality, I can do it on my own, even if you could, wouldn’t it be easier to still share the burden with someone else. So get some one you can trust to help you make the change you require.
“People fail to make changes to their lives because they try to do it all themselves.”
You need someone to help you, get yourself an accountability partner, this could be your therapist, your spouse or a close friend, even GOD can be your accountability partner. Just make sure you get some one you can trust and you are sure is willing to help you.
4. EXERCISE: making the necessary changes in your life is not going to be easy, like I have said you will be frustrated, stressed, even depressed. And exercise is a very healthy way of dealing with frustration and stress. According to CDC, regular physical activity helps you keep your thinking, learning and judgment skills sharp. Being able to keep your mind and body healthy is crucial for this journey you are about to take.
The change you want is not something that will come to you on a platter of gold, it doesn’t always happen like that, you need to take actions, and until you do so, your change will not manifest itself. And the truth is, the longer it take you to act, the more difficult it becomes. So take that bold step today to your NEW BEGINNING
