Life is all about perspectives and choices. Yes, you might find yourself in circumstances that you didn’t choose. However, you can choose your perspective. You can also choose how you’re going to handle your circumstances in order to make a better experience for your life. It doesn’t have to be as difficult as you think. In fact, here are five easy tricks you can utilize in order to make your life even better.

1. See a Therapist

Les Brown famously stated that „you can’t see the picture when you’re in the frame.“ This means that the mindset that got you to where you are won’t necessarily be the mindset that will get you to where you’d like to go. In order to make revisions to your life and become better, it’s helpful to have someone else see the aerial view of your life and the changes you need to make. A licensed therapist is an unbiased party who can help you navigate past traumas, deeply-rooted belief systems, and strongholds that are keeping you from improving your life. Oftentimes, there are subconscious patterns that you don’t realize are guiding your life. By seeing a therapist, you can get a clear understanding of what’s serving you and what needs to be tossed out.

2. Pay Attention to Your Physical Needs

So many adults make the mistake of trying to power through the day without taking stock of what they actually need. Sure, you might be used to skipping breakfast. However, sitting down to enjoy a piece of avocado toast might be the extra boost your body needs in order to have lots of energy. If you’re becoming cranky by a certain point in the day, perhaps you need to make your life better by taking a nap. If a nap isn’t possible, go to bed an hour earlier. By getting an extra hour of sleep each night, you can increase your lifespan tremendously. Before entering a tough conversation with a family member or a coworker, make sure you’ve eaten. People joke about the feeling of being „hangry“ (hunger and anger combined), but it’s real. When you’re in that space, you might say things you don’t mean simply because you’re hungry. Walk with a granola bar or a piece of fruit in order to sustain yourself before a major meal.

3. Enhance What Works

It’s important to drink lots of water every single day. If you find that a straw helps you to consume a lot more water, consider purchasing a beautiful tumbler that comes with its own reusable straw. Now, you can fill up your tumbler and quickly consume more water on a consistent basis. If you’ve been consistently finding solace in your daily yoga practice, consider investing in making that space better. Purchase a padded mat or a humidifier to make the room feel more luxurious. If your feet get cold, install electric radiant floor heating mats to make the room more inviting and comfortable.

4. Make Mundane Tasks Fun

Never stop having fun. Life is meant to be enjoyed. On a daily basis, you have important tasks to do. Find ways to infuse fun into those mundane tasks. If it’s the day where you have to pay bills and take care of the household finances, make it fun by ordering your favorite takeout meal and lighting a luxurious candle. If you’re on a vegan diet, make it fun by learning how to cook healthy meals in a creative, tasty way. Put on some great music to dance to while you prepare your meals. As you infuse joy into everyday tasks, it’ll be much easier to enjoy each day.

5. Live Life on Your Terms

As an adult, you hold the power to steer your life in the direction of your desires. If you’d like to own homes on both coasts, create a plan to make it happen. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never seen it done before. There are so many resources that you can use in order to learn how to build the life of your dreams. Live on your terms. If you choose to live on the terms of others, you’ll be sadly disappointed and unfulfilled.
It’s been said that many people die at age 25, but they don’t get buried until age 65. This means that people let go of the desire to make their lives better after 25. Because of challenges, disappointments, and failures, many people accept the status quo and simply exist until their physical bodies die. This doesn’t have to be your experience. By implementing these five easy tricks, you’ll be able to absorb all of the beauty your life and dreams have to offer.
