Most people who try to change themselves for the better fail in this difficult endeavor. Most often this happens due to self-doubt, laziness, and also due to the fact that a person simply does not know what to take on, so all attempts to change are reduced to nothing. Using a few tips, you will feel how your life is taking new turns.
Instructions
Step 1
Learn to say "no" Of course, on the way home from work, you will run into the store or the pharmacy, although you planned to come early and take care of yourself. Of course, on the weekend you will take your child to English classes, despite the fact that your husband promised to do so. You are so used to not rejecting anyone that you do not notice how others use you, leaving you no time for yourself, the result of which is depression and fatigue. Believe me, if sometimes you deny someone a request that is at an expense with your interests, they will not stop loving or respecting you.
Step 2
Start thinking about yourself Your son wants new jeans, your daughter wants money for a fashionable hairstyle, and your husband tore his slippers and it became impossible to wear them. Stop and think about the last time you spent on yourself a loved one. Spend your money on shopping, massage, manicure or swimming this time. Your mood will noticeably improve, which will have a very beneficial effect on those around you.
Step 3
Don't Strive to Be Perfect In service, you go out of your way to show your best. Coming home from work, you hang out at the stove to indulge in homemade gourmet delicacies. Stop, if there is a lot of perfection, then it loses its value. Moreover, not everyone around is perfect, and your family will gladly dine with something simple. And the apartment does not have to be in perfect order - let your family remember their responsibilities.
Step 4
Do not get hung up on a perfect figure Do you constantly torment yourself with the thoughts that you have no time to play sports? Stop it! To keep yourself in shape, it is enough to forget about the lift and while brushing your teeth, you need to strain and relax the muscles of the abdomen and buttocks. Trust me - the results you see in a couple of weeks will amaze you.
Step 5
Be mindful of personal time At least once a week, do something that really pleases you and distracts you from pressing problems. Whatever it is - reading your favorite book, going to the movies or going to the cafe with a friend, remember that this is just as important as going to grocery stores or visiting relatives.
