Jedna věc je říct, že chcete změnit svůj život-všichni říkají, že v určitém okamžiku. Opravdu tedy to a ještě více, kroky, aby skutečně změnit, jsou těžší. Změna je v teorii jednodušší, než to je v praxi, protože je to strašidelný. To znamená, že krok do neznáma, a to je někdy děsivé. Máte různé obavy, vždy existuje důvod, proč nemůžete udělat krok, a je snazší snít, než jednat. Dokážeš to, ačkoli. Myslím, že je to skutečně dokáže. Musíte být realistické, nemůžete čekat na zjevení a prostě budete muset překousnout, ale opravdu může legitimně změníte svůj život tak můžete mít štěstí a naplnění.
If something makes you unhappy, it's toxic. That goes for people, jobs, even the place where you live. You cannot live surrounded by unhappiness. It drags you down, leaving you with no energy, no motivation, and no strength. You have to identify the things that bring you down, even if it's hard to admit. This might require self-reflection, discussions with your closest confidants, or maybe even a little therapy – sometimes revealing things to a stranger is easier and an unbiased opinion is always helpful.
2 Get Rid of It
This is one of the hardest parts. You have to get rid of the toxicity. Ditch anything that's bringing you down – or at least address it. For instance, your relationship might be giving you trouble. If your partner is willing to work on the issues and you, of course, are able to be honest about them, then you don't have to get rid of your partner. Similarly, if you're happy with your career choice but unhappy with your current position, you can look for ways to make changes without changing what you do. However, you may indeed need to quit your current job or change your path in school – or go back, perhaps.
3 Think about What Makes You Really Happy
Pokud byste mohli dělat nic, co by dělat? Opravdu, cokoliv. Pokud mohla dělat cokoliv, šel bych zpět do lékařské školy v tep. Teď bohužel, některé cíle nejsou v rámci současných možností – přinejmenším, teď ne. Pokud chcete být autor bestsellerů, například nemůžete jen sníte o den že to vlastně napíšeš. Musíte napsat, pokusit se získat práci, která mapuje svůj talent, pokuste se navázat kontakty, aby psaní – jde o to, je-li váš cíl stojí za to, budete muset vzít to krok za krokem.
4 But Be Willing to Tweak Them if You Need to
And, yes, sometimes you need to … not settle, exactly, but tweak your dreams. Take medical school for me. It's not possible. I'm married, Heather and I are starting a family, and it's not logical for me to take that much time to do a job I love. So, I tweaked it. I'm going to mortuary science school. It's a roundabout logic, yeah, but it relates to the fact that I initially wanted to be a pathologist. Anyway, you get what I mean, yes? Don't be ashamed of tweaking.
5 Take the First Steps
Call a college admissions office. Book a plane ticket. Schedule a talk with your boss. Have a heart to heart with your partner. Whatever your first step is, make it. Even if you just make the first step, it's a start. It's true that the biggest journeys begin with the first step. Taking it is monumental because there are millions of excuses for putting it off.
6 Find Someone to Motivate You
If you're motivated by making an inspiration board or keeping a list of your goals on your bathroom mirror, good on you – keep it up! I propose that everyone making a big change needs a cheerleader, though, someone who can motivate you in a way that works for you. Being held accountable is important, especially when you're nervous or fearful of change. I need tough love and Heather's the best at it. Know what motivates you and share your goals with someone who can provide it.
7 Keep Pushing
No matter what. If you hit a wall or reach an obstacle, don't get anxious, depressed, or defeated. Look for ways around it – make it a detailed search. There's bound to be something and, if there's not, you can always tweak. For instance, if you want to be a doctor but can't pursue your dream right now, you could look into becoming a nurse, an EMT, or a PA first.
Change is scary. It's big. It's unpredictable. Really, though, so is everything else. You owe it to yourself to be happy, whatever that entails. So, again, let me ask you – if you could be anything, what would you be?
