Bringing some CHANGE into Life :)

Change ! 

I've always heard the phrase , ' Change is a good thing'. But is it? Is it always good . Change can also be a fearsome beast when in the wrong hands. 

People always want to change their life, in some way or the other. And they wonder what habits should they start with?This is not a easy question to answer. There are so many changes one can go though, from quitting smoking to reducing debt.And they all seem life changing .

Change doesn't happen over night. You have to work at it. .I sometimes wonder why it takes so long to achieve the final result. 

Maybe its fear of the unknown? you don't know what the outcome of the change or you are not sure of the next step.

I say that you need to live your life differently or you need to start living your dream, but I haven't practiced this completely. 

I think its time we pick one or two habits that we want to change to be able to live a better life.

" Men's natures are alike, It is their habits that separate them". -Confucius

Now if you are ready to change a habit of yours , here are seven little habits that can change you life :)

Only do one at a time. Here they are ( in my order of preference, yours my be different)

1. Thinking positive : I chose this one first because I think this is the number one /most important thing that will help in bringing change. Positive thinking by itself will not lead you to success, but it goes a long way in motivating.

Try to focus on this first as you will have an easier time with the others. Try by recording all the negative thoughts that come by you during the day and soon you'll be able to recognize then and squash them :P

2. Exercise : Sure, Exercise is healthy and all , but how is it life changing? I'm glad you asked.

• It makes you feel better about your self and thus making you more confident. This will lead to better positive changes.
• It reinforces the positive thinking habit. You need to think positive in order to sustain exercise.
• It relieves stress and help you think better. This leads to better mental well being in your life.
• It helps with creativity. Don't ask me to prove it. try it yourself, all your best ideas will burst out while your exercising :)

3. Single-tasking : Its the opposite of multi-tasking. Why is it life changing?

• You will be more effective with your task. and you will get more done. Its hard to acheive important things when your constantly switching tasks and distracted by other urgent things.
• You will be less stressed overall and (in my experience) happier throughout you day.

4. One Goal at a time: Focus on one Goal at a time. While it may seem a little difficult. Focusing one one goal at a time is the most powerful way of achieving your goals.When you try to take on too many goals , you are spreading your focus and energy - the two critical components for achieving a goal.

Some goals are on going ones- such as blogging everyday or exercising everyday. In those cases turn them into habits. Focus on turning the goals into habits and once you have turn them into a habit then focus on the next goal.

5. Scrap out non essentials : Firstly identify the essential- things in your life that are most important to you, that you love the most. Then eliminate everything else. This simplifies things and leaves you with space to focus no more essential things.

This will change your lie because it will help you to simplify, to focus on whats important and to build the life you want.

6. Be Kind : Yes kindness is a habit. And it can be cultivated. Focus on it for a month and you will see profound changes in your life. You will see people react to you differently and treat you better. 

How do you develop this? Make it a goal to do something ind for someone each day. At the beginning of the day , figure out what the kind act would be and do it during the day. Second, every time you interact with someone, try to be more kind, friendly and compassionate. 

7. Daily Routine : Its so simple. But creating a daily routine for yourself can make a big difference in our life. 

How will it change your life? It will help you get a great start to your day and finish your day by preparing for the next day. 

These are just few basics. there are plenty more things you can do to change your life for the better :)

Clarisonic

Here is a detailed review on the famous Clarisonic Facial Exfoliator. Before I start , I would like to say that I am not paid to write about this product nor was I given the product for free. I brought this product form Ebay and I am really happy as I saved a ton on it. :) I've been Using the Clarisonic for a while now. I watched a lot of review videos and read a lot of reviews and then finally decided to give it a shot at the beginning of this year. I got the Clarisonic Mia.

What is the Clarisonic ?

With its Sonic technology ,it claims to remove makeup 6 times more effective than any other cleaning method. It penetrates the skin 300 movements a second working deep within the pores to remove dirt and oil. As it moves above the skin, it effectively cleans , clarifies and stimulates the skin.

How to speak with Confidence?

Hi Samantha, I am struggling with low self confidence and am often afraid to speak out when I'm in a large group of friends or co workers.I feel so terrible. I really need to change this. I love the advice you give. Do you think you can help me be confident ? Thank you :) - Anonymous 

Hi Sweetheart,

* Big Hugs* I know how you feel. Believe me I used to be a introvert for most of my School years. I always thought I had nothing interesting / important to say.It took me a while to get over it and go up to people and interact with them. I took some time to ask people around so that I would have something productive to say. Might I say I am not the most confident person and I myself  have to work on many aspects but I hope these few tips and advice will help you be more confident.Hopefully this will pull you out of your comfort zone and help you do something different. 

• The number one thing you have to pay attention  to is your body language. Always try to hold your chin parallel to the floor. And be present when your talking. I used to always look down. So put everything away and walk with confidence when you are walking into a room with people :)
• Second thing is to do things on your own. Don't depend on your family or close friends. Go to the gym alone, or go to a restaurant and eat alone. No one actually cares why your eating alone. Take away that security blanket that you have created for your self :)
• Peoples spectator. One thing why I was an introvert was that I always felt that I had nothing interesting to say but this gave me a chance to observe people, what they said and how they said things. So learn people :)
• Learn how to make people feel good by the things you say and do. Just say nice things and be genuine. Confident people are not afraid to compliment others :) 
• Be Magnetic. Make people want to be around you :)
• Be Decisive. This is one thing I need to work on. I am so easy going. when Im in a group and some one asks me what i want to eat or what I want o do, i always say , ill have anything or whatever. Being decisive is knowing yourself. so just go ahead and make a decision :)
• Take compliments and criticism in the same way.  You alone are responsible for your highest high and lowest low. Don't get offensive, it shows that you are nervous. Be a person who is whole and just say thank you :)

So I think I've said a lot. Hope this helps you open up more and interact with others :) 

And for my other readers, Please comment below and let me know what makes you confident and maybe I can learn a bit too .

Love ♥ ,
