Are you living the life of creativity and happiness that you've always dreamed of, or are you allowing your fears or other outside factors to influence you?
Following the path that your heart's desires requires courage and might require a shift in attitude. There are several methods you can use to act as your own life coach and start working toward the life you dream of.
Ideas for self-improvement
You don't need to change every aspect of your life at once in order to improve your attitude and outlook on life. Self-improvement can feel daunting if you try to change everything at once.
A good way to embark on your journey of self-coaching is to make one change and see what kind of impact it has upon your life. The following tips are designed to help you improve your life and become your own life coach. Try out one of the following tips at a time to positively impact your attitude and daily life.
1. Find some ‘you' time. Everyone needs time alone to meditate and recharge. You may think you don't have extra time in your day. Start with 10-20 minutes to use for meditation or silent reflection.
2. Ask yourself what you truly want in life. Are you living your life according to your true dreams and desires? You may be unaware of your desires that lie hidden beneath your surface needs and wants, so take the time to find out.
3. Write everything down. Even if your thought seems silly, write it down! You may be surprised by the inspiration and ideas you can come up with.
4. Journal daily, but with a twist. Instead of just writing about today, try writing about yesterday.
5. Keep track of the "happy moments." Each day has potential for many small moments that bring joy and happiness. If you don't make a special note of them, you may not even recognize the small joys in your day.
6. Choose one task each night to complete the next day. This way, you have focus, and you accomplish at least one task. Tasking and taxing yourself with effort is important in reaching goals.
7. Smile when you wake up. Smiling is contagious. By smiling you improve your mood and can potentially improve someone else's day as well.
8. Give thanks each night. Gratitude will improve your outlook on life and help you see all the good and wonderful moments of your day.
9. Try something new. A new experience fuels creativity and your enjoyment of the day.
10. Create at least one memorable moment each day. Make each day unforgettable, even if in a small way!
Taking the next step with a life coach
Self-coaching tips are great ideas for helping you improve your life. However, you can take your life to the next level with a life coach and mentor. A professional life coach can help you set goals and help you move forward with your dreams. If you're looking for the right path toward happiness, a life coach can help you discover the path your heart truly desires.

:-) Again, a perfectly timed post... although mine is not yet a teen.
I use to say a lot to my children but now I cut down. I try to live by example. Talk less do much.
Bruno, our "kids" are out of the house now. We were very lucky in that we didn't have really turbulent times when they were in the teen years, but I know that that's often not the case. You're right when you say the child is more likely to remember the bad day, the day he wasn't listened to.
We've always made it a practice to sit down for dinner together and have conversation. I believe that's a way to keep family feeling connected. Everyone has a say. Everyone is listened to.
nice (:
how old are you Bruno?
nevermind my question.. i see it in your profile :)
SIGH.... then there are those teens who have convinced themselves that NO ONE especially not their parents coupld possibly know what they are feeling or understand it so they clam up and keep it all inside ....
Very, very true. Back in the days our parents didn't have to worry about stuff that's going on right now...But i know it would of been nice to see my dad pull up the chair beside and just chat with us I know there were 4 of us but least make time even for 5 mins. see what i've been up 2. But happy to say times has changed dramatically for the better. Now parents are more active in their kids life they make sure they have time to sit and chat with their kids and see what are the kids are up 2 and what their feeling. There is soo much going on out there,u need to talk with your child...I know i do and my kid is only 5...It's always good for our child to come to us and know he/she can talk to us about anything and know we will always be there no matter what.. And protect and support them in anything they want to do in life even if we don;t agree....
Ciao 4 now.
:)
Cool.
