7 Steps To Achieve Your Best Version

Changes are not usually smooth. Perhaps they can be gradual, done little by little. But when we want to change, we are going to have to go all out. If not, we will be modifying, fixing, making up or delaying situations that exceed us. Nothing happens, but it is not the change we are looking for.

Change implies a decision because, once launched, it is difficult to go back. In the hypothetical case that we wanted to do it, we would never return to the same place. It would not be possible. For this reason, the determination we make is so important, in addition to being aware of every step we take.

When we started on this path of change, paradoxically, we discovered that we are much more prepared than we thought. We realize that it is like riding a bike. It was just there but we didn’t remember.

We forget that change, the ability to adapt, is part of the innate characteristics of our species. With that forgetfulness we fall into the litany of those who continue to propose stability, tranquility or good sense as an antidote to the supposed abyss that changes everything.

It is an effective resource and we receive it from the outside (and from within) in the form of fear.

Identifying what you want to achieve, focusing on it, daring with small changes and overcoming your fears is key to materializing the changes. Little by little, they are incorporated into our daily lives.

Changes come when we can focus on the simpler aspects of life.

Because, beyond the intention of change, there is the will, the commitment and the sincere desire to achieve it.

How to get your best version in 7 steps

Change begins by identifying what you want to achieve, knowing the meaning of what you want to achieve. If you already have it clear, these steps can help you achieve it:

• 1. Divide it into stages. Dividing our change purpose into small stages helps make it easier to identify and separate barriers that may exist. Change is not a one-time achievement, it is the consistent chaining of small, executable tasks.
• 2. Keep track of accomplishments. No matter how insignificant or obvious the step may be, it will give us an idea of ​​movement or action that is essential for the necessary motivation towards permanent change.
• 3. Learn from failure. In the process, stumbles and failures can occur, which if recognized, allow learning and help not to repeat them (at least consciously) and move forward. Perseverance and repetition help you move forward step by step.
• 4. Stop comparing yourself to others. Understanding that we are all on our own journey and that no matter where others are is essential to get started. This is about your own progress and not that of others.

It is understanding that you are looking at your life from a place independent of other people and that, therefore, you are unique.

• 5. Understand the power of your thinking. For the change you want to make, adjusting your mindset is enormously powerful. You may think that your bad mood, for example, is due to other people or external circumstances that you cannot control, but really that is a choice: how you react to the circumstances.
• 6. Love yourself more. Accepting yourself without judging yourself is the only way to be the best version of yourself. This means accepting both your strengths and your weaknesses. Thus, you can begin to move in an authentic way through your life.

• 7. The journey never ends. The change never ends because we do not stop growing as people. The great news is that we won’t be perfect no matter how hard we try! Because life is not about that. It’s about expanding knowledge and perspectives, continually. Once we accept it, it is somewhat easier to achieve the happiness we deserve.
