The Road To A Brand New You!

How many people can honestly say they CONTINUOUSLY make a conscious effort to change their lives on a daily basis? Well this phrase can be taken in many ways so I will narrow it down. In this post I am referring to mental change which influences our behavior and choices to either become productive or non-productive individuals in society. For instance, several years back I had come to a crossroad in my life. I was either going to continue to make poor choices or start making a serious change. I knew it wasn’t going to be an easy transformation but I still made the decision to work on becoming a better person. So, my long journey began. It is a journey that is still prevalent in my life to date. Here are a few pointers that helped me get a jumpstart on changing my behavior and negative thought processes:

• Isolate yourself from negative people (yes, family is included). I can tell you this step is the worst of them all because you will be shocked at how many people are left in your circle when you are done throwing out the trash! But if you can get past this step, I promise you will be a stronger person in the end.
• Expand your horizons and move to another state if needed or desired. This gives you a fresh start towards networking with new friends who are positive, like-minded, and goal oriented. Don’t be afraid of change!
• Do some deep soul searching (honestly figure if the problem is you). Speak to a therapist, spiritual leader, or visit a church if you are having problems in this area. Don’t limit your potential by ignoring the ugly truth. You cannot blossom if you keep wearing a mask.
• Detach yourself from looking for other people’s validations. Don’t worry what others think about your new found change. They will say you think your better, you’re crazy, you’re the negative one etc. Just know your purpose! Learn to love your own presence. This is very hard to do if you are used to being around a lot of people. But you need to push pass the pain!

Here are some good ideas that will help you learn to enjoy your own company:

• Grab your favorite beverage and cuddle on the couch while reading something inspirational. Take time to bask in imagination.
• Go to a park and have a nice picnic with yourself. Lay a blanket down and relax while enjoying the sounds of birds chirping, a river flowing, children playing, or just natures peaceful whispers.
• Go see a funny movie. Grab some popcorn and learn to laugh out loud!
• Learn to cook a new recipe. Share your special meal with someone later in the day.

These are just a few examples, but it is very important to learn to love your very existence. This is the start to becoming a better YOU!

• Next, don’t look back. No really, don’t look back! You can’t move forward if you are always reflecting on the past.
• Constantly remind yourself to be positive every day! (you have to literally become one with your conscience) That means watch your choice of words, thoughts, bad habits, bad relationships, music you listen to, shows you watch, parenting skills etc. Believe it or not, whatever you put into your brain is what you will get out of it.

Finally, changing patterns of old behavior is not done overnight. It is a long process that requires many years and lots of practice. Tip: Don’t think of how long it will take to notice a change, just picture your goal and work towards the finish line. Remember, you have to constantly remind yourself to be a better person every day because it is always easier to give up and revert back to your old mentality. If you fail, don’t beat yourself up, just continue to try every single day! Believe me... no one is perfect that’s for sure.


I truly pray this message came across as inspirational for anyone who is working towards changing their thought processes and/or behavior patterns. You can do it!
