How To Change Your Life In Just 30 Minutes A Day

By Christopher M. Seymour


Some individuals spend years in school preparing for a specific career field where they hope to find a quality company and earn a significant income. Others have connections in a career field where they can start at an entry level position and work their way up in the company. Still others work simply to meet the demand for earning an income and living away from home. If you would like to find a change in your life where a plan may not have worked, consider the potential life changing opportunities of wealth creation.

Obtaining Financial Freedom.One of the most significant stresses a person faces is found with meeting their current expenses, investing in their family, and planning for their future. Each day a financial transaction can mean the difference between planning for retirement or paying a bill that exceeds the income you generate. With the opportunities that exist from wealth creation, you will be able to establish a low demand second income to help meet your financial needs.This can prove to be the greatest stress relieving technique available to obtain the financial freedom so many others desire.Real Retirement Potential.

Besides noticing what you see around you, also follow your whims, and go with your gut instinct. For example, once when I was traveling in Greece with my boyfriend and we had a big fight. I left, and went wandering down the streets to be alone. A gut instinct told me to go into a little jewellery shop, and I did. I ended up meeting the nicest Greek family ever, who invited me to lunch and gave me a beautiful necklace to remember them by. The afternoon turned into a very positive experience because I followed a gut instinct instead of being by myself and feeling sad. It was not good luck that my day turned around. It was the fact that I created the day by following my instincts.

Read motivational material.The easiest way to change the way you think is to read something else. If you spend all your time reading about politics, news, or anything like that, you're bound to be more negative. Something as simple as watching the news before you go to bed can give you a negative attitude. The reason is that your subconscious mind is most accessible right before you go to bed, and right when you get up in the morning. That's why, when you're trying to change, use one of these two times to do it.

Motivational material can be anything. If you read the Bible, try reading Psalms and Proverbs for 20 minutes a day. There are also many great authors available that you can read. My personal favorites are Tony Robbins, Lisa Diane, Jack Canfield, and Wallace Wattles, the author of "The Science of Getting Rich".Meditate.Meditation is one of the best ways to help you relax both mind and body and then get focused. Focus is key to reaching all your goals, so you want to get as focused as you possibly can. The secret to changing your life and getting what you want is doing things that will take you to your goals. You start with belief, and then you take action. Use meditation to help you get rid of all the distractions in your life and focus on what is important.

For the next 30 days, turn off the TV and other negative media in your house and instead, fill your mind with positive personal growth and development information, and on taking action towards your own personal life plan. This is not only the best way to change your life, but also a way to be happier with yourself in general and to free yourself from the overwhelm you may be feeling in life and business.

Change starts in the mind. Then you have to take action. Use this simple plan to help you reach your dreams and get the life you deserve.Simple but powerful mindfulness exercises bring us a wide range of benefits. You don't have to sit in lotus position or become a Buddhist. Interest in mindfulness coming out of scientific research is making it mainstream.If I were to tell you that you can learn to release yourself from stress, improve your well being, increase your emotional intelligence, make better decisions and be happier and more successful just by sitting on your butt and watching your breath for a few minutes each day, would you be persuaded? Probably not. If you think about it, that's strange because you probably do sit on your butt for much of the day and you never stop breathing. So what's the problem? First of all we have to have some kind of understanding why it works and second, if you try it, maybe you'll find why it's not such and easy thing to do. Just sit on a chair, upright, and count each breath. How many breaths can you count before you get distracted and forget to count? Do you forget how many breaths you've counted? Just try it.So, like learning to do a lot of things it's difficult at first. Our minds just want to get out there and do stuff. So how does training our attention to follow the breath do so much good?

There's increasing evidence that training attention with the right kind of attitude has many benefits. Much of the scientific work has been done on depression. People who attend a course for eight weeks, going to a weekly two hour class and doing around half an hour each day over the duration of the course, works at least as well as taking antidepressants. The effects are long lasting and can be seen in changes in the brain and continuing the habit has even greater benefits.What happens when you stand in the queue waiting to be served? What happens when you're waiting for a bus? Well, for most of us, we get bored or frustrated and our mind goes for a walk. We start daydreaming, planning or worrying. We're distracted. The thing is, what's going on in our minds has an impact on our moods and then our mood effects our thinking. We create patterns of mood and habits of thinking which feed on each other. So often this causes us completely unnecessary stress.

Cut some seriously undisturbed time for yourself. Everything off... no multi-tasking.Grab a pen and paper and list, or storyboard if you will, every one of your strengths... think hard on this, I mean every one.Now, look at those already established strengths and search for connections or ideas you probably haven't thought of in the spirit of creating a new direction for yourself with those abilities that you already own.So what's happening here? We're reinventing or reshaping who we are through this process, but actually, we're not. This potential reshape consists of reconfiguring elements of who we already are, not some fictitious character we're trying to create that has nothing to do with us. Personal testament becomes a must to clarify this point. I'm a musician of 40 years, as well as a composer for 30 of those years. Long story short, my chosen musical idiom in these times does not offer the rewards of a comfortable life without some serious, and I mean serious sacrifice. That sacrifice was OK in terms of myself. But after becoming a single Dad, my reality, my focus began to alter. For the first time ever I was considering a potential life change. Let's see, a day job... not a chance in hell. What can I do?

This can have a profound effect on all kinds of different areas of our life because so many of our problems result from the way we get trapped in patterns of thinking and behavior. Developing a regular practice of mindfulness exercises helps us to see the patterns that drive us more clearly and enables us to pay more attention to what is actually going on for us. This makes changing things much easier. We're not using our will power to change the way we behave; with mindfulness we can discover what it is we really want to do and do it naturally. Mindfulness exercises help us to really get to know ourselves better, as if we were an old friend and that makes it much easier to do what's in our own best interests without being self critical.
