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.

Geez. If you only knew how very little I'm going to spend this year. Very little. Little little. Good things the kids have grandparents.
Hey Bruno
The company where I work is making quite a point of the fact that there will be decreased business in 2009. I somehow get the feeling that they are prepping us for retrenchments.
Recently my boss asked me what my ideal job description would be (there is a story behind that), but I have been wondering if this is my chance for suggesting something that:
a. I may enjoy more
b. Is less likely to invite retrenchment.
Ponderings, ponderings...

Practical tips, Bruno.
Our own business was down at the gallery this past weekend. Although not that many Black Friday shoppers are out to buy art, we always have a boomlet of tourism during those few days, and our location is tourism-fueled. The travelers were fewer, but we did write business and that's good. And we are grateful that the previous months have been stronger than usual. It is so important to face the challenges but with a can-do attitude.
Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your point of view), this means things will get busier for me!
True enough mona - I know of another person that did not spend a penny on 'Black Friday' :)
Grandparents are great - I too won't be spending much money this year sue.
Times are tough Juliet, I would like to say don't worry about what you are hearing at work but maybe its a good time to get yourself ready for the retrenchment just in case it does happen. Stay tuned for tips and tricks on how to start a business or make extra cash during these bad times.
San - Your attitude shines and can be seen from a mile a way. :)
Hi Bruno, I checked out the "Arise" site but unfortunately its only for americans, you need a stste and zip to complete a profile...unless I goofed, if you would be so kind as to check that out for me I would appreciate it.
thank you again for your wisdom and wealth of knowledge...as you said...knowledge is power! :)
