Learn How To Change Your Life By Changing Your Daily Habits

By Keri Loots


Many people are dissatisfied with their lives. They realize that things need to change but they often do not know what to do. Follow these six tips to get started making your life better than it has ever been.Get rid of the clutter. As the years pass by we tend to accumulate items that we no longer need. These may be items that were given to us as gifts or things we thought we needed but have only used once or twice and no longer use. They are just taking up space and perhaps even getting in your way every day.Get rid of them. Clear them out. Plan on the time to pull them out of the closet or the garage or attic and go through them. Keep only what you need for your immediate use, such as today or next week. If you will not need or use them in a couple weeks, set them aside and create a pile of items you will give away to others or sell.

We are constantly told to focus on WHAT we want, and to allow the universe the show us HOW. We are told to align our beliefs, thoughts and feelings with what we want, to be an energetic vibrational match with what we desire, in order to attract that to us through the Law of Attraction. However, we MUST also take ACTION. We must be poised react to act and grab opportunities that come to us. We must be fully alert and conscious to our daily life in order that we recognise that which we are attracting to us. And, often the things that we want don't always come in the form we expect.Often we are left at a loss for exactly what type of action to take. Faced with opportunity, we might recognise it and pause too long to benefit from opportunity, or we may be so caught up in our heads that we miss opportunity altogether and it passes us by.What if I told you that every day there are very specific, very unique, very special SIGNALS being sent to you, to show you HOW to create the change in your life that will bring you happiness? What if I told you that if you were simply aware and ready for those signals then following those signals would lead you towards:Greater understanding of yourself,Greater happiness and joy,Greater peace and calm,Greater feelings of connectionAll the things you desire in your life both physically in your world and internally within you.I'm here to tell you that this opportunity exists for you. There ARE signals that are guiding you, unique to you, right now. There always have been and there always will be. Those signals come to guide you the highest and best way to achieve your purpose in this life. If only you will awaken to them. I'm here to share with you that the FOLLOW THE SIGNALS way of living can change your life forever, just as it did mine.What is the "Follow the Signals" way of living about? Our beliefs, thoughts and feelings literally create our reality.The world around you is always moving in response to your energy, in response to what you believe, think and feel.Beyond our physical world is an unseen, yet very powerful dimension that is constantly reacting to your beliefs, thoughts and feelings and it is constantly beckoning your attention to guide you on "how" to achieve what you desire.It guides you by way of signals...Every day The Universe is sending you signals, whether you are aware of them or not; unusual happenings, surprising coincidences, situations, people and things turn up in your life when you need them most.If you know how to look for signals, and are willing to follow them, the signals can support you, encourage you and most importantly guide you towards your goals and dreams.Signals are 'things' that happen in your day to day life that are there to catch your attention, to signal you forward towards your goals and dreams. Signals are here to guide you. They are unique and specific to you and they are never-ending. You are receiving them right now, you always have been and you always will. The key is - are you aware of them?

Among all the actions we perform on a daily basis, good habits are those having favorable influence on our lives, while bad habits are the actions resulting in negative outcomes for us and for people close to us as well. Bad habits are usually called addictions.But let me make a distinction here. Letting addictions aside, we can further split all our daily habits in habits which add in our personal development and habits which are just wasting our time.Think a little bit of everything you do daily. What are you doing every morning, then during the time you spend at the office, and when you're back home in the evening?

Exercise.Yes, exercise. The human body is connected to the human mind and the two are inseparable. One affects the other and it is necessary that we take care of each of them.Many people do not exercise because they do not like to sweat. We can still exercise without sweating.Begin getting fit slowly. There is no need to go all-out from the beginning and that is not recommended anyway. Begin by taking a slow walk through the neighborhood or go to a large shopping mall and just stroll through it. Take your time - there is no hurry.

Have you ever thought about changing something in your life such as starting a new career, learning a foreign language or getting more fit? Maybe you have even attempted to do new things or change old behavior patterns, but your enthusiasm didn't last too long. And you gave up.It happened because habits are actions we make unconsciously. We just feel like we need to do a certain thing without asking ourselves why we have to or what is in it for us.

People Signals:There is a saying that goes - people come into our lives "for a reason, a season or a lifetime".They may be friends, family, acquaintances, work colleagues, clients, business contacts, neighbours, former companions, complete strangers and the list goes on.People can pop up unexpectedly in your day. People you have not seen in a long time may call or show up, trying to reconnect with you. You may be introduced to someone in a way that seems quite unusual or coincidentally very helpful. Strangers may approach you or cross your path.In relation to your goals and dreams, people can act as signals. They are moving of their own accord, in alignment with their own beliefs, thoughts and feelings, but the unseen powerful dimension in our Universe which works in response to energy, is weaving all sorts of people, situations and happenings to guide you.Pay attention - people may suggest something to you, they may make a passing comment to you, they may question you... people are powerful signals and they can literally hand you opportunities on a silver platter that are powerful signals to propel you towards your goals and dreams if you are alert for them.It is worth noting that sometimes we are so fixed on what we want (which is great!), but also become fixed on 'how' we think we will achieve it (not so great!). Remember - our job is to focus on what we want, and let the signals show us 'how'. If we become blinkered to the only way we think it is possible to achieve our goal/dream, we may miss opportunities. People signals are a very good example of this. People that we may consider meaningless in the sense of achieving our goals and dreams, could actually be the very means by which we could achieve these things powerfully. Everyone we meet in life has something to share. What can you learn from them? What do they know? Who do they know? What can they offer you? What can you offer them? Keep an open mind.Animal Signals.Animals are powerful signals. These are known as animal totems.If animal images/symbols, encounters with actual live animals or dreams of animals repetitively show up in your life, in an unplanned and random way, you may be receiving a signal by way of animal totem.Each different animal has a very specific meaning. In relation to your goal or dream, animals can come to guide you on what you need to know, what you may need to remember, pay heed to or consider at that particular time in your life. This information is widely available online and in books and you can easily research the meaning of animal if you think you are receiving an animal totem signal.

Television, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, emails, signposts, billboards, advertising, websites... the list goes on. These are aspects of our every day lives.In relation to your goal or dream, these mediums for information, be it written, visual or audible, can all act as signals to guide you. Once you become alert to signals, you will start to notice recurring references to things in your day to day life, quite possibly very directly related to, or outright stating your goal or dream.In relation to your goal or dream, be it a career path you want to follow, a place you want to visit, a type of experience you want to have, look out for direct or related references to that as you go about your normal daily routine. Simply be aware and alert, really see the sights, really hear the sounds, be consciously in the moment and you'll be surprised by what you encounter.Dreams are not whimsical, fanciful mind movies that arrive from nowhere in a completely random way. Yes, they are fanciful and our dreams aren't necessarily 'real' in terms of a reflection of what is or might happen. However, they are your subconscious mind operating freely, and whilst the stories of your dreams in their fullness may not be telling you something, the images and events in your dreams can be very symbolic. They can reflect useful learnings for you and act as signals.There are plenty of resources available online and in books regarding dream symbology if you are interested in what your dreams may be signalling to you.At times we receive signals that are just too bizarre to categorise and let me just state that not all signals can be categorised. There are endless ways The Universe can send you signals.How do I recognise signals? There are several things you can do right now to start to recognise the signals that are being sent to you every day. However, one of these things is the absolute key to recognising signals.That key is... you must become AWARE.By reading and understanding the basic information about signals you are armed with knowledge. Even a little knowledge will get you started. There is nothing difficult about this way of living, following the signals is simple and fun. However, even armed with this simple information, without awareness you are blind to the signals. Awareness gives you the ability to recognise the signals that are being sent to you.

Secondly, through a step by step process, we are going to start making the desired changes.It is very important to not overdue. Don't start with more than one habit and, at the beginning, my advice is to perform the new action for short time spans, then increase the time gradually. Once you have the first habit installed (it will probably take 1-2 months), introduce a new one. Making small steps every day is the best way to succeed.

Make a plan.Skyscrapers are never built unless a plan has been prepared first. Your life is no different. A plan will help you set goals and goals are important. If you don't know where you are going you could end up going where you never wanted to go, so make a plan.There are short-term plans as well as long-term plans and you should make both.Begin with a short-term plan. What do you want to do tomorrow? Where do you want to go and how will you get there? What do you want to accomplish while you are there and why? Making such a plan will give you cause to think about things you have not considered? What do you want to do next week? Make a plan for the entire week, not just one day of the week.What about next month? What do you want to accomplish next month? Having a better idea will help you make the time to do that and you will begin to make better use of your time.Work your way up to a one-year plan. Where do you want to be one year from today? Why do you want to be there? How will you get there?The answer is one day at a time.
