Women's Life Link Be Well, Be Happy, Be YOU!
Achieving success and being happier with who you are are two significant ways to improve your life as a modern woman. And this is why focusing on things that actually make a difference is so important. Think about the key areas of your life that could be shifted or enhanced. Could making some solid changes be steps to greater happiness and success? I recommend starting with where you are now. What is your happiness level in each major life area?
To get you thinking, here are some life-changing steps to greater happiness!
Improve Your Mental Health
Improving your mental health and wellness is likely the most important change you can make to be happier and more successful. The reason is that when you are at peace with your life and who you are, all is well in your world. No, it doesn’t mean challenging things won’t happen, but good mental health allows you to cope and strategize how to walk through the storms.
Some ways that I have improved my mental health are mindfulness, meditation, therapy, reading, socializing, and being grateful. I also catch myself if I go down a rabbit hole of self-doubt and criticism. Work on what makes you feel good and think positive thoughts. Thoughts lead to beliefs, and beliefs lead to behavior changes.
Realize How Amazing You Are!
Believe it or not, sometimes, our happiness and success are kept as prisoners in a lack of self-esteem and courage to move away from a comfort zone. To be able to look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are enough simply by being alive is a huge step in the right direction. Furthermore, think about how much you’ve done in your life. Maybe you’re a mom, wife, partner, business owner, employee, artist, scholar, or friend. These and more are accomplishments to be proud of…ones that scream, “I’m a badass, beautiful, and talented woman!
If you cringed a little when you read that above paragraph, I encourage you to seek help from professionals such as Kate McKay, who can help you work toward a life success goal. After all, happiness and success are hinged on the ability to feel good about yourself and make the best life decisions.
Improve Your Physical Health
I could not write about being happier and more successful without mentioning the connection those things have with physical health. It’s pretty simple, really…without your health, life can lack the fulfillment of important dreams and goals. That said, it doesn’t mean that being sick has to keep you from being happy. On the contrary, if you do all that you can to be healthy, rest in that fact.
The truth is, we all can get a better grip on our physical health by listening to our bodies. Consider how you feel throughout the day. Are you stiff, in pain, or lacking energy? All of these things are signs that your body needs some attention. Stop and listen. Shift some things like the food you eat, the water you drink, and the things you do (or don’t do). See what improvements you can make by changing small things.
Change Your Job/Career
Changing your job or career path is one of the best ways to achieve greater happiness and success. You should know that to successfully change your career path, you need to be fully committed to the move. Though it might sound fun and exciting, understand that there will be some challenges, as well. First, you might go from being a top woman on the totem pole to an entry-level position to start. On the other hand, you might also find a position that was made for you! Go explore the possibilities to see what joy and success this type of change could bring you!
