How to change your life in a year

Intro

00:00:00

Reflecting on the past year and evaluating my happiness and direction in life. Wanting to make improvements, break bad habits, and start new ones. Searching for a strategy to create lasting change. The importance of having a strong will combined with a good strategy.

Pick one thing

00:02:10

To make meaningful changes in your life, it's important to focus on one thing at a time. Instead of overwhelming yourself with multiple goals, choose one specific area you want to improve and create a detailed plan for achieving it. For example, if you want to get fit, develop a consistent gym habit by going four or five times a week. Reflect on whether this process is realistic and something you can stick to long-term because the process itself is what will bring satisfaction and fulfillment.

Forced yourself

00:06:02

Forcing yourself is often a good thing, despite concerns about toxic hustle culture and burnout. Many worthwhile things in life require sacrifice. It's important not to determine the value of something before doing it. Even though you may face emotional and physical resistance, pushing through can lead to feelings of accomplishment and pride.

Make processes work for you

00:08:38

You can make processes work for you by finding ways to make them more enjoyable. For example, if you dislike deadlifts but know they are beneficial, try using a hex bar instead. This alternative made the exercise more comfortable and enjoyable for me. Another example is listening to audiobooks instead of reading physical books if sitting down to read is not your preference.
