10 Changes that transformed my life

Today, I'm excited to share 10 changes I've made over the past two years that have significantly improved my life. 

1. Set goals

Few years ago I never set any goals and I quickly found out how easily it is to get lost...

That's why I now set daily, weekly, monthly and yearly goals.

2. Study your values

Few years ago I enjoyed draining my mind rather than feeding it.

Remaining in my comfort zone ultimately left me very depressed and empty.

That's why I now study what I love and enjoy to become more knowledgeable in the subjects. 

3. Depth over velocity

Few years ago I tried to do as much as possible in limited time which left me very frustrated.

That's why I now work on quality over quantity.

4. Use scheduling tools

Few years ago I went with the flow of time.

Doing this made me procrastinate even more without any form of clarity.

That's why I now plan everything in advance and use technology to remind me of it.

5. Don't neglect what loves you

Few years ago I pushed more people away than I've let in.

I learned the hard way that life's too short...

That's why I now always pick up the phone when someone that loves me calls me.

6. Look in the eyes

Few years ago I was too insecure to hold eye contact with anyone.

Doing that I became even more introvert.

That's why I now always remain eye contact to gain more confidence and respect.

7. Dress your best

Few years ago I was too lazy and ignorant to wear decent clothes.

Doing that I became more insecure and lost respect from my environment.

That's why I now always dress my best so I actively contribute to myself and my environment.

8. Write by hand

Few years ago I wasn't writing anything.

Doing that I lost my sense of creativity and inner peace.

That's why I now write every day to empty my mind and gain more clarity within my ideas.

9. Shut out stutter words

Few years ago I wasn't paying any attention to how I talk.

Doing that made me less interesting to have a conversation with, which ultimately made me more insecure about my own personal spirit and contribution.

That's why I now take more time to think before I speak and shut out any stutter words like (uh,eh).

10. Practice mindful eating

Few years ago I wasn't grateful for the food I ate.

Doing that made me more greedy, unhealthy and impatient.

That's why I now always take a few seconds or minutes for a small prayer before I consume anything.
