BE YOUR OWN INSPIRATION

1) Be your own inspiration- No one knows what you are "really" thinking or feeling. So why not be your own inspiration? Think about it - if you're the one who knows you the best then you're the only person who can truly evoke change and pin point what you want to improve.

Instead of looking to others for a spark or bode of confidence - use others as reinforcement but look to yourself for inspiration. Here are 10 tips to help you become your own inspiration.

2)List your goal and plan to achieve it- Write down the goal or improvement, now write out all of the big goals that you will need to accomplish to achieve it and then fill in the blanks by writing down the smaller goals/tasks that you will have to complete.

Writing it down on paper is like making a check list. You will feel a sense of satisfaction each time you are able to check off a task that you accomplished. Seeing the plan on paper will help you stay focused and the visual will help you not forget important to-dos.

3) Stop being negative! It's simple instead of focusing on the things that you're not happy with focus on the things you are satisfied with. You may not like your height, so focus on your amazing muscles. Look for the positive within every aspect. You may not like being short but at least you can wear heels and not tower over everyone. Find a positive to your negative and it will make life a lot easier.

You can apply this aspect to your daily life as well. Bummer - you have to stay up late to study for a test; soon you will have that degree and land the job of your dreams. Focus on the positivity!

Remove negativity and the question what if. If your thought process doesn't consist of the possibility that something will not go the way you want, then you will be a happier person. Disappointment is inevitable in life but it is a lot easier to adjust when you're not constantly preparing for a disaster.

4) Never give up- Next time you hear the two letter word no, train your brain to hear not yet instead. No is not a permanent answer and doesn't mean that something will never happen or change. No just means that it isn't going to happen in that instance however it will eventually happen if you continue to stay focused and remain positive. Determination is the key to achieving dreams. Everything happens for a reason, so if something did work out there's a reason and God has a plan.

5) Embrace your sadness-  Instead of falling into a pitfall - embrace your sadness and flaws. Even though it may seem like the world is falling from beneath your feet, keep in mind that everything happens for a reason and that this too shall pass. Everything that occurs in life will help you become the person that you are meant to be - so breath in your sadness and make the most out of it. Embracing something that is crippling or debilitating may seem difficult, but remember that your sadness plays an important part of your life just like happiness.

6) Learn to be humble- Never get ahead of yourself - stay grounded. Being humble will keep you from becoming blinded by success and selfishness; instead you will keep others in your thoughts and remember to be there for your friends and family.

7) Appreciate nature and everything around you- No matter how busy you get in life, take time to look around at your surroundings. No matter what it is: the beautiful sunset, the blooming flowers, the smiling couple that are so in love, the laughing child swinging on the swing and the person you're riding in the elevator with. Live each day to the fullest and soak up everything around you. Everything that occurs in your daily life moulds you into the person you are today and will be tomorrow. Appreciate life!

8) Dress to be happy for yourself- When you're dressed nicely it makes you have an extra bounce in your step and gives you an extra bode of confidence. Feeling good about yourself will help you stay motivated and give you the confidence that will help you take on the world. Aim to make yourself happy!

9) Ask What if? And not why not instead? - A dream according to Webster is something that fully satisfies a wish, a strongly desired goal or purpose, or a visionary creation of the imagination. No matter how you define it - dreams are not impossible. If you dream it up, then it's possible. Maintain the mindset, no matter how rough things may get, that anything is possible. Instead of asking yourself why not, remain focus and do things within your power to make it happen. What if you do this or that - your dreams could be within reach.

10) Discover yourself- You are in control of you. You're the author of your own book and whatever the next chapter has in store is totally up to you. Live a fulfilled life and reinvent yourself to reflect your growth. You're the only person who's in control of improving your life and yourself.
