We all have goals and dreams that , if achieved, could take us on an amazing journey of personal growth, success and fulfillment. We may have a plan, but many of us can feel overwhelmed and struggle to take charge of our lives and make our dreams come true.Taking charge of your life can be an intimidating process, but once you do it, you will gain the clarity, confidence and courage to create the life of your dreams. I will give you steps to take charge of your life, so you can start living the life you truly desire as we spoke about in Survived- It’s time to Thrive !
1. Know What You Really Desire
The first step to taking charge of your life is to really understand what your heart desires. Get clear on what kind of life you really want to create for yourself. Think about the kind of relationships, career, location, habits, and lifestyle that you would be thrilled to have. Knowing what motivates you will help you create an action plan and set goals that move you towards the life of your dreams.
2. Make A Plan
Once you know what you want, it’s time to create a roadmap that will help you get there. You should make a list of your desired outcomes, then work to create achievable goals. Set timeframes and milestones that will keep you on track and accountable to your plan. Remember stay flexible and open minded – things do change or needs can evolve.
3. Take Action
It is very easy to get stuck in planning phase and forget to take action. Don’t let that happen! Make sure that you take the first small step towards your goal, no matter how uncomfortable or risky it may seem. Even the smallest of actions can help to build momentum and help you stay focused on your goal.
4. Believe In Yourself
We can often be our own worst critics, so make time to practice self-compassion and self-care. Believe that you have the strength and power to take charge of your life and create the life of your dreams. When you believe in yourself, it’s so much easier to stay motivated and stay focused on achieving your goals.
5. Celebrate Your Wins
You have set goals and are now working hard to reach them. As you reach (or exceed) your milestones, be sure to celebrate! Acknowledge your success, where ever you are at, and give yourself space to enjoy and appreciate it. Doing so, will help to drive you forward and fill you with the desire to keep going and reach your ultimate goal.
