15. Take deep breaths anytime in your day to loosen up
Don’t forget to take deep breaths and stay light. Your day’s tension and stress get minimized when you breathe deeply.
Loosen up those tensed muscles by sitting quietly and doing the basic things of life.
BREATH DEEPLY!
16. Quit complaining and start appreciating all around you
Your day and your life is about to change once you stop cribbing about those little things around you.
Qutting to complain helps us to be appreciative of all in our lives.

We are always in a rush to accomplish all or do everything in fast mode.
A lack of patience creates commotion and agitation in your mind. You lose focus to perform anything with a cool brain.

Start building patience and enjoy the process without being in haste to reach the final result or your destination.

Adding more vegetables and fruits along with whole grains, and pulses provides good fiber for your body to assist in digestion.

A little pause or breather helps to recharge your tired body and mind in between your work. This helps you to come back with renewed energy.
24. Forgive yourself for past mistakes and hurtful events
Let go of your past and finally forgive yourself for any mistake. Stop infecting your present with hurtful past events.
We all face committing mistakes in our lives. Forgive others for any harm done. Move forward in your life with new hopes and new beliefs.
Rather than being tied to the same past things you do not want to get repeated in your life, start thinking of new lovely things.
Your mind and thoughts have to shift to change your life.
25. Eat slowly
When you eat mindfully you know the portion you are having and you feel the taste of the food. You start enjoying the plate more when you eat slowly.
Gobbling your food instead of chewing and feeling the taste will only spoil the whole experience of eating. Eat carefully and slowly to be aware of your food.
26. Let go of toxic things and toxic people out of your life
This is a very important habit if you are serious about changing your life. Toxic and bad things always spoil our thoughts, plans, and dreams we have.

Comparing your life gets you nowhere. This drags you down further spoiling your mood and self confidence.
If you want to change your life stop comparing yourself with anyone. You are a special, unique person with all the potential to become anything.
31. Worry less
Worry is the biggest spoiler to change your life to be your best self. Fretting over very little things will only add to your anxiety and stress.
Change your life by changing your attitude to things in life. Let things happen on their which are beyond your control.
Rather control and take care of your thoughts and actions in a positive direction.
32. Be kind to others
Showing random acts of kindness to others or strangers creates satisfaction and happiness.
Offer help in any form, donate, or volunteer for a noble cause to feel happy from the inside.
When you start growing as a human being you get ready to change your life in any path you want to go.
33. Write in a Journal to brain-dump
Do a brain dump of all your thoughts into your journal to become aware and mentally free.
Journaling is a powerful tool for understanding yourself very easily.
Anything disturbing you, what you want to do, how you are feeling all these answers can be found from writing your mind out in that notebook or paper.
34. Set healthy boundaries
Start saying no more if you are someone taken advantage of by your loved ones. Avoid saying yes to please others and save your mental peace.
Improve your life by being strong enough to have good boundaries around you.
People who genuinely understand you and love you will respect your decision. You do not have to feel guilty for saying no or not able to attend that event.
30. Create a mindset shift
If you have a habit of thinking bad and negative all day, chances are your path to make a change in life will be troublesome.
Shift your mindset by thinking and speaking positive things to yourself. Give a pep talk to boost your self confidence when you feel down.
It is very easy for us to be harsh critics. Rather than expecting bad things in your life start believing in lovely events unfolding in your life.
Show self love by replacing your negative thoughts with positive ones.

You need not be a professional dancer to groove to some peppy number. Dancing pumps up your drooping energy making you giddy with joy.
Changing your life also takes into account altering your attitude toward these little things without inhibition.
36. Take short breaks and walk around your work desk
Taking short breaks from your desk is better for keeping yourself active. Sitting for a long period blocks blood circulation in your limbs.
Get up from your work for breaks to walk around or have water. You will instantly feel recharged.

Is it cooking? Pottery? Playing any sports? or crocheting? Engage your creative talents in any activity that makes you connected.
Fun things that help to build your focus and utilize your time productively rather than killing time scrolling through other social media accounts, need to be prioritized.
These are small habits that can make you a better version of yourself.
42. Clear your debts
Debts snatch your mind peace. Clear your debt at the right time to avoid overcharge. Change your life by slowly clearing off all your debts.

If you want to stay out of debt and keep your income saved or well invested, stop impulsive purchases. This overspending money habit without having any track is not beneficial for your wealth building dream.
Control your credit limit and go shopping with a buying list. You can use a cash envelope to stay within your means.
Try not to visit a shopping or food mall when you are angry! Your mood creates a deep impact in your pocket. I am not asking you to go all miser and starve but spend sensibly.
48. Try a new hobby
A hobby is a great way to unwind yourself after work or when taking a day off. Spend your holidays productively with things you like doing.
If you like gardening, pottery or painting use your time well to immerse in these hobbies to find peace and calm.
If you want to start a new one then give it a shot to see how that hobby makes you feel. Any change is better than nothing at all.

We all fail in our lives at some point, maybe so many times. But that does not mean we have to stop there.
Accepting failure is the foundation for your next progress. Do not allow fear of failure to halt your motivation and desire to create a new start in your life.
Moreover, avoid getting influenced by others’ failure stories to map your journey. Experience everything firsthand. Only then you will learn to improve.

56. Start a blog or an online business
Create your online business which gives you scope to work from anywhere and be your own boss. Enjoy the freedom to take charge of your life without following anyone else’s orders.
You don’t need to quit your job for that. But having a side income is so empowering to grow and boost self confidence.
57. Try a new cuisine
Cook a new recipe or try a new cuisine you never had. Find the joy and wonder of knowing a food or your dish.
58. Create a no-spend month
Change your life by having a no spend month and save that money for some better things. So often we waste our income on many things that do not give any value and end up in storage.
Why not create a 30 day challenge to stop buying futile things or getting takeaway for meals? Cook your food with a weekly meal planner that is available on many food channels and blogs.
