I hope you’ve enjoyed this series of posts on how to change your life!

We’ve covered a lot of ground over the last few days, so I thought it might be a good idea to summarize everything for you into a step by step guide.

Step 1 – Become Clear

If you want to change your life, you first need to become clear about what it is you want.

Deciding exactly what you want will give your life direction and purpose.

Without having a clear goal in mind, you have nothing to move toward. It will be impossible to develop a plan to change your life if you don’t know where you want to go.

Imagine that you want to take a trip. If you have don’t know where you want to go, how can you make any sort of plan on how to get there?

Your life is no different. You need a goal, a destination in mind so that you can plan and live your so that you are constantly moving in that direction.

If you’re not clear about what you want in life, you’ll end up moving around aimlessly in a life that goes nowhere.

Step 2 – Align Your Thoughts and Feelings

Once you’re clear about what you want, you need to align your thoughts and feelings with that desire.

What does this mean? Well, it means that you keep your mind focused on the thoughts and images of achieving your goal. You spend time everyday imagining what it would feel like emotionally and physically if your goal were achieved.

Why do this?

First, you need to keep your desire strong and believe that it’s possible for you to achieve your goal. By focusing on it daily, you will strengthen and reinforce your will to succeed.

Second, repeatedly thinking about your goal as if it were already achieved helps to reprogram your subconscious mind. If you keep bombarding your subconscious with thoughts and feelings of achieving your goal, it will eventually start helping you to make it a reality. New ideas and inspirations that can help you succeed will start popping into your head and your belief in yourself and your abilities will begin to increase.

Third, these thoughts and feelings will activate the law of attraction in your favor. Basically, the law of attraction says that like attracts like. So as you think about your goal as if it were already achieved. And as you imagine what it would feel like if your goal were already acheived, the law of attraction states that the Universe will start working to make those mental images a reality for you.

Step 3 – Learn What You Need to Know

In order to move towards your goals and dreams, you need to take action. The problem is that sometimes we don’t know enough to make the right moves. That’s where learning comes in.

When you have the the right knowledge, the actions you take will be a lot more effective and efficient and you will move towards your goals a lot faster.

There are many ways that you can aquire the skills and knowledge you need.

• Go to school
• Take a night course
• Read books on the subject
• Get a mentor
• Read magazines and online articles related to your goals
• You can even learn from your mistakes. At least you’ll know what not to do on your next try.

Step 4 – Take Action

Now that you have the knowledge you need, you’re ready to start taking action.

Action is necessary to achieve any goal. Read any good book on success, or any autobiography of a successful person, and they will tell you that you need to work to achieve your dreams.

Schedule time to take action towards your goals every week, or even better, every day. If changing your life is important, then you need to make it a priority to take the actions that will make it happen for you.

Making excuses isn’t going to change anything. A basic principle of physics explains this very well – “Nothing happens until something moves”. So get moving!
