Tired of the same old same old? Feel like time is fleeting? Have you been stuck in other people’s ideals of you for far too long? It is always a good time to take back your life and here are 5 easy ways to do just that.
Just GO to the places. Seriously.
Sometimes the only way to have the best life you can have is to try the thing. Go to the places. Even if you’re just window shopping. Sometimes the best life starts with dreaming of a better one.
Try something new.
Wanna learn salsa? Be a beauty guru? How will you know if you don’t try it out? If you can’t afford the lessons – binge YouTube. You get one go around this life. Make it count. Everyone else is just as worried about how they look doing the thing too. So just DO THE THING.
Grow your boundaries and make them firm.
If you have ever sat in my office you know that boundaries are not a suggestion. You have to hold on to that. You will be so much happier when you start guarding your own heart. The Bible teaches us so much about boundaries. Forgive and forget is a man-made saying. Forgive, pray for them and, when it’s toxic or abusive… love them from afar and get on with your life. Take time to heal, grow. You deserve that.
Stop feeling guilty for choosing your peace.
The only people unable to hear “no” are people who benefit from your “yes.” Anger towards answers is often manipulation. It’s ok if someone doesn’t like your answer but “no” is holy. Practice it. Live it. Learn it. Love it.
Ask the Lord for the desires of His heart.
If you find that nothing seems to pan out… maybe it is time to ask God to give you the desires of His heart. This means replacing your desires with His so that it is what you want… and also what He wants. This piece of advice changed my life! I believe it will yours too.
The more you practice finding yourself and your own place in the world… the happier you will be and the closer you will be to finding God’s design for you. Whether you dream of starting a business, growing your social media range or just living a life that doesn’t suck – you can do it. I believe in you. I pray that you believe in you too. Even if it takes a little while. You are so worthy of having a life you can be proud of.
