5 tips to help bring back the zest for life

1. Start small

When someone gives you this advice, they usually recommend something like, "Call a friend and take him for a cup of coffee." No. Start small even more. Get dressed first.

Set a goal to stretch for five minutes. Now just stand up and do it. Made? You can already be proud of yourself.

You are facing something that each of us has ever experienced. You have lost faith in the ability to do what you want. Don't panic, this happens all the time. Choose a case, the outcome of which will depend only on you, set a deadline and complete it. Repeat these steps until you feel ready for more challenging tasks.

The principle of “pretend until you believe it’s true” does not always work. The problem is that you will always be aware of your pretense. And you will remind yourself of this. Pretending destroys self-confidence. Your spark will burn out at the first difficulty.

Try your best and don't give up. Don't strive for the ideal.

You will see that the light inside you has not yet extinguished, you just need to throw firewood.

2. Stop agreeing

Many of us settle for jobs we hate, buy useless things, and put up with bad self-treatment. And life ceases to be enjoyable.

We worry about little things imposed on us by someone from the outside. We are convinced that absolutely everything can be obtained at the snap of our fingers. Have you met at least one person who really succeeded?

Prioritize. Decide what is most important to you at the moment.

Throw off the shackles and focus on the essentials.

What you agree to will take away your free time, attention and money. It's up to you to decide what it will be. Make no mistake with your choice.

3. Combine your strengths

Gary Vaynerchuk understands wine, video and business. He launched Wine Library TV, a wine webcast. Steve Jobs had a background in design and technology. He created the Mac. Pee Diddy (Sean Combs), an American rapper and producer, understands music, people and has good taste. He created his own clothing brand, Sean John.

Many of us make a list of our skills, and then think about how to apply them correctly. Try a different approach. Consider all your talents as a whole. Try to combine them. You will have a unique set of skills and interests.

Find out what makes you stand out from the rest and helps you succeed in your desired area. Then make a plan of action. You will understand how great it is to be yourself.

4. Plan your budget

When we start thinking positively, we rely on some kind of magical help from the outside. Winning the lottery, inheritance from relatives, great love, other work … Stop. Don't go crazy.

The ability to create something important despite obvious barriers is one of the best qualities of a person. We must develop this character trait in ourselves. But you cannot hope that someone or something will do everything for you. Plan your budget. Even if it's difficult, it's terribly boring, and there isn't much to plan.

If you want to stand on your feet and be financially independent, take responsibility for your life. Then you will act, not dream.

5. Get rid of the haters

By allowing a crowd of haters into your life, you spend a lot of energy to keep your cool. It's pointless.

Just don't fall for provocations. Do not pay attention to haters, even if it is someone close to you. Stick to your position. Then no one can break your faith in yourself.

Surround yourself with those who will not drag you down. Those who will support your goals and aspirations. So you realize that many doubts were just an echo of what you heard about yourself.
